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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
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 looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.
This study uses lung ultrasound before surgery to see if it can help predict breathing complications after major non-chest surgery. If you are having a long surgery under general anesthesia, this could help your care team better monitor and protect your lungs.
This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This study tests whether using only one lung for breathing during heart surgery can reduce lung complications after the operation. It may help patients at higher risk, such as those over 65 or having longer surgeries.
