Testing leak detection during lung transplant surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a way to spot and treat air leaks during lung transplant surgery. It may help surgical teams reduce leak-related problems during and after the transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a lung transplant surgery
- You are an organ donor who is not eligible to donate lungs
- You are not a healthy volunteer

This trial checks whether a new system can detect and pinpoint tiny air leaks during lung transplant surgery. It uses a glycerine mist during the operation, which may help surgeons find leaks and repair them sooner.
This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
This study is testing a new tool that checks for air leaks in the chest tube placed after lung surgery. An air leak can slow down recovery, and this device may help doctors detect it more accurately.
This study is testing a way to predict serious air leaks (pneumothorax) after a lung needle biopsy. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors know who might need a chest tube.
This study looks for lab “clues” that can help predict how well someone’s lungs will do after a lung transplant. It may help doctors spot transplant-related problems earlier so care can be planned sooner.
This trial checks if closely monitoring antibiotic levels in the blood can help prevent infections and improve outcomes after a lung transplant. It may help doctors adjust your medications more precisely.
