Check if bronchoscopy after lung surgery prevents complications
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an anatomic lung surgery called a lobectomy (removal of one lung lobe).
- You must understand the study and agree by signing a written consent form.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
This trial tests if special breathing exercises before surgery can help prevent lung complications after laparoscopic (keyhole) liver surgery. It may benefit you by reducing your risk of pneumonia or other breathing issues after the procedure.
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
This study tracks people having video or robot-assisted lung surgery to learn how to better predict and prevent serious breathing problems after the operation. By understanding your health before surgery, doctors hope to reduce complications and improve recovery.
