Lung ventilation techniques for minimally invasive lung surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of managing breathing during lung surgery to help your lungs work better after the operation. If you are having a lobe or part of your lung removed, this trial may help doctors find the best method to keep your lungs healthy during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are having a lobe or part of your lung removed using minimally invasive surgery (thoracoscopy).
- You do not have severe or very severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- You have not had heart disease caused by narrowed arteries, and you are not significantly overweight (BMI over 30).
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control and have a negative urine pregnancy test at the start.

This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
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 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 is testing a special way of breathing during lung surgery to help protect your lungs and reduce complications. If you are having a lobectomy, this approach might help you recover better.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the 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.
