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 looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
This study compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This study looks at different ways to use a breathing machine during lung surgery to see which method helps keep oxygen levels stable and lowers the chance of lung problems after surgery. You might benefit from taking part if the right breathing method could help you recover better.
This study is testing a special way of breathing during lung surgery to help protect your lungs and reduce complications. If you are having a lobectomy, this approach might help you recover better.
