Testing leak detection during lung transplant surgery

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 looks at a special patch called TissuePatch SF that doctors place over the lung after surgery to help stop air leaks. If you are having keyhole lung surgery, the patch might help you heal faster and avoid complications.

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 study tests a new way of doing lung transplant surgery where you stay breathing on your own during the operation instead of using a breathing tube. The goal is to help you recover faster in the hospital after the transplant.
