Diaphragm weakness after non-intubated lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how often the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) weakens after lung surgery done without a breathing tube. It aims to help doctors understand recovery and prevent future breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) without a breathing tube.
- You have no known diaphragm weakness or problem before surgery.
- You are covered by French social security.
- You are not currently taking part in another clinical study.

This study looks at how common diaphragm weakness is in people who have been on breathing support in the ICU. If you are coming off that support, researchers want to learn if your diaphragm strength affects your recovery.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes when a person is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing and recovery.
This study looks at how the diaphragm—the main muscle you use to breathe—might 'hibernate' or weaken when you're on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to understand why this happens and to find ways to prevent muscle weakness, which could help you recover faster.
This study looks at how a type of breathing support called non-invasive ventilation (NIV) affects the diaphragm, the main muscle you use to breathe. It aims to help doctors understand if this treatment is working well for people with ALS.
This study tests a way to train the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) using ultrasound guidance to help people on breathing machines get stronger. It may help patients who are on a ventilator recover their breathing ability more effectively.
