Tracking CO2 levels in one-lung ventilation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks if a noninvasive device that measures carbon dioxide (CO2) in your breath can accurately track CO2 changes in your blood during surgery where only one lung is ventilated. The goal is to see if it can replace frequent blood tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having thoracoscopic (keyhole) lung surgery that requires ventilating only one lung at a time.
- You need a tube placed in an artery (arterial line) for continuous blood pressure monitoring as part of your surgery.

This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
This study looks at a way to measure pressure in the esophagus (the tube from your mouth to your stomach) during robotic chest surgery to improve how your lungs are ventilated (given air) and reduce breathing problems. It may help if you are having robotic chest surgery with capnothorax.
This study looks at how closely two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels match during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery when you are tilted with your head down. It may help doctors better monitor your breathing during these procedures.
This study compares two ways to measure oxygen levels during lung surgery when only one lung is being used for breathing. It aims to see if a simpler, noninvasive method works as well as a blood test.
This trial tests how well a standard arm blood pressure cuff works compared to a more precise arterial line during lung surgery when patients are on a special breathing tube. The goal is to see if the cuff is accurate enough to use instead of the arterial line.
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
