Testing different tube angles for one-lung breathing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a special breathing tube that blocks one lung during surgery. It looks at whether the angle of the tube affects how well it works for right-sided lung operations. If you are having a right lung surgery with a camera, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been rated as ASA grade I, II, or III (basically healthy to mildly or moderately ill).
- You have no history of drug allergies or unusual reactions to anesthesia.
- You are scheduled for a right-sided lung operation using a small camera (thoracoscopic surgery).
- Your oxygen level without extra oxygen is at least 94% before the procedure.
- You do not have any recent (within 3 months) serious lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome.

This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during surgery to see if one causes fewer lung infections after a type of lung surgery (wedge resection). If you are having this surgery, your participation may help find a safer way to breathe during the procedure.
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine during surgery to remove a lung lobe. It aims to find which method works better for patients like you.
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
This study tests a special 'tubeless' anesthesia technique — avoiding breathing tubes during surgery — for people with early-stage lung cancer. The goal is to see if it reduces lung problems after the operation.
