Testing an air “sniffer” using aerosol glycerine during lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having lung transplant surgery
- You are an organ donor for whom lung donation is not allowed
- You are not a healthy volunteer (the study is not for people without lung transplant surgery)

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.
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 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 trial tests a simple sugar-water solution to stop persistent air leaks after lung surgery. If you've had a lung resection and still have an air leak more than a day after surgery, this treatment might help seal the leak and speed up recovery.
This study tests a new monitor (AirGo™) that tracks breathing during surgery to remove part of the lung. It may help doctors watch your breathing more closely and could lead to safer procedures.
This trial tests whether a special gel (Progel Platinum) can reduce air leaks that sometimes happen after lung cancer surgery. It is for people having minimally invasive surgery to remove the upper or lower lobe of the lung.
