Two breathing strategies during lung surgery for lung cancer
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for lung cancer surgery to remove part of the lung
- You can attend all study visits and follow trial instructions
- Your surgery is planned using a camera approach or a chest incision (not sternotomy, not robotic, not non-intubated video surgery)
- You can safely use an esophageal catheter (no certain esophagus/stomach problems or related allergies)
- You meet key heart/lung safety limits (for example, severe COPD/asthma or major heart failure may exclude you)

This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
This trial compares two lung opening techniques during surgery to see which helps you breathe better afterward. It's for people having a lung surgery through small cuts.
This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
This trial compares two different breathing settings (tidal volumes) during surgery to see which one better prevents lung complications in older adults who are at higher risk. The goal is to find the safest way to ventilate the lungs during an operation.
This trial tests if a customized breathing method during surgery reduces breathing problems after the operation. Patients having minimally invasive lung surgery with one-lung ventilation for more than an hour might benefit from this personalized approach.
