Checking breath carbon dioxide monitors during one-lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks whether a device that measures carbon dioxide in your breath (capnography) can reliably reflect the carbon dioxide level in your blood during lung surgery when only one lung is being used. This could help doctors monitor you more safely without extra blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for keyhole lung surgery that uses one-lung ventilation (only one lung is being breathed during surgery).
- Your doctor plans to use an arterial line to closely monitor your blood pressure during the operation.
- You do not have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).
- You do not have a body-wide infection.

This study tests a new portable device that measures the carbon dioxide (CO2) you breathe out while on a breathing tube during surgery. The goal is to see if this device works as well as the standard monitors, which could make monitoring safer and easier in the future.
This study tests whether a special breathing monitor that clips onto the nose (called EtCO2) can help reduce low oxygen levels during waking up from anesthesia after abdominal surgery in older adults. It could help ensure you breathe safely during recovery.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during robotic chest surgery. By measuring the pressure in your food pipe, doctors hope to reduce lung complications after surgery.
This study checks how well a breathing monitor matches blood carbon dioxide levels during laparoscopic surgery, where you are tilted head-down. It aims to improve monitoring of your breathing during surgery.
This trial checks whether blood pressure readings from a standard arm cuff are as accurate as readings from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) during lung surgery with one lung collapsed. If the cuff is reliable, patients may need fewer invasive monitoring methods in the future.
This study tests a new monitor (AirGo™) that tracks breathing during surgery to remove part of the lung. It may help doctors watch your breathing more closely and could lead to safer procedures.
