Lung-protective breathing during aortic dissection repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine during surgery to protect your lungs. It is for people who are having surgery to fix a tear in the main artery of the heart (acute type A aortic dissection).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 14 to 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a tear in the main artery of the heart (acute type A aortic dissection) and are scheduled for surgery to repair it.
- You do not have a serious infection (sepsis) before your surgery.
- You do not have a long-term lung disease that needs daily medication (like asthma or chronic lung infection).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower.

This study aims to help doctors predict how long a patient may need a breathing tube after surgery for a serious aortic condition. This could help plan better care and improve recovery.
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
This trial tests a special breathing machine strategy that uses pressure measurements from a small tube in your esophagus (food pipe) to protect your heart's right side while treating ARDS caused by pneumonia. It may help if you have severe lung failure and need a ventilator.
This study looks at how a special breathing machine setting affects patients during chest surgery when only one lung is used for breathing. It may help doctors improve care for people having lung or chest operations.
