Predicting Lung Problems After Chest Surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery on the chest or lungs where one lung will be deflated during the operation.
- You are not having heart surgery.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a serious infection, a psychiatric condition, uncontrolled thyroid, kidney, or liver disease, or a bleeding disorder.

This study tests different ventilator (breathing machine) settings during and after surgery to help your lungs work better and stay healthy. Researchers will use ultrasound pictures of your lungs to find the best settings for you.
This study looks at whether doing a brief breathing-tube exam (bronchoscopy) after specific lung surgery can lower the chance of lung complications. It may help improve recovery and reduce post-surgery breathing problems.
This study tracks people having video or robot-assisted lung surgery to learn how to better predict and prevent serious breathing problems after the operation. By understanding your health before surgery, doctors hope to reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
