Best breathing machine settings for lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different breathing machine settings during lung surgery to see which helps keep your oxygen levels best and reduces lung complications after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a lung surgery (such as open surgery, VATS, segmentectomy, lobectomy, or pneumonectomy).
- You can receive different types of breathing machine support during surgery (like controlled or pressure-control ventilation).
- You do not have severe heart, liver, kidney, or other major organ problems.
- You do not have a mental illness or cognitive disorder that would prevent you from understanding the study.
- You do not have a blood disorder (like hemophilia or deep vein thrombosis).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study compares different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic (belly button) surgery to see how they affect pressure inside the skull and blood flow to the brain. If you're having surgery in a head-down or head-up position, this trial might help doctors choose safer breathing methods.
This study tests different ventilator (breathing machine) settings during and after surgery to help your lungs work better and stay healthy. Researchers will use ultrasound pictures of your lungs to find the best settings for you.
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
This study compares two different ways of controlling breathing machines during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers want to see which method keeps your heart and blood flow stable and protects your lungs during surgery.
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
