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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a prevention strategy for breathing problems after surgery. You may qualify if you're having a long surgery (over 2 hours) that is abdominal, involves lying on your stomach, or if you are obese, and you need a stomach tube as part of the procedure.
This study tests if special exercises or other treatments can help patients whose diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) becomes weak after being on a breathing machine for two days or more.
This study looks at how non-invasive ventilation (a breathing mask) affects the diaphragm muscle in people with ALS. It may help doctors better understand how the therapy works.
This study tests whether specialized breathing exercises can help strengthen the breathing muscle (diaphragm) in patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers will measure changes in the diaphragm's thickness and function.
