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 is looking at people who had emergency surgery for a specific type of aortic tear (aortic dissection). The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors predict how long a patient might need a breathing machine after that surgery.
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 trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
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.
