Predicting air leaks after lung needle biopsy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a way to predict serious air leaks (pneumothorax) after a lung needle biopsy. The goal is to find patterns that could help doctors know who might need a chest tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a lung biopsy guided by ultrasound or CT scan
- You can give written consent to be in the study
- The lung spot being biopsied is still there when the biopsy is done
- You do not have a sudden flare-up of a lung condition (like COPD or pneumonia) right now
- You are able to understand the study and make your own decisions about joining

This trial is testing a new imaging technology that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors quickly identify lung cancer during a standard bronchoscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for cancer, this study may help improve detection speed and accuracy.
This study tests whether it is safe to avoid placing a chest tube after lung surgery when a special air-leak test shows no leak. If you are having a small lung removal (wedge resection) through one small cut, you may be able to leave the hospital without a tube, which could mean less pain and a faster recovery.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
This trial uses a new method to make CT-guided lung biopsies safer. It may reduce complications for patients who need a lung biopsy for an unclear or suspicious spot.
This study is testing a new tool that checks for air leaks in the chest tube placed after lung surgery. An air leak can slow down recovery, and this device may help doctors detect it more accurately.
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.
