Pressure-guided breathing care during robotic chest surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have robotic chest surgery where one lung is temporarily put to sleep and carbon dioxide gas is used to create more space to work.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease (such as advanced COPD stages 3 or 4).
- You are able to have a small feeding tube placed through your nose into your stomach.
- You are not having emergency chest surgery due to complications.

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.
This trial tests the best setting for air pressure in the lungs during robotic lung surgery without capnothorax. It aims to improve breathing and recovery after surgery.
This study looks at how different breathing settings (called PEEP) during robotic surgery affect the lungs and overall outcomes. It aims to find the safest approach for patients undergoing this type of surgery.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
This study tests whether using a special tube and monitoring technique during surgery can reduce breathing problems after the operation. It may help patients recover better after certain types of surgery.
This study looks at whether using a special breathing tube to measure pressure inside the esophagus (food pipe) and set the ventilator to your needs can reduce lung complications after weight-loss surgery. It may help people with obesity get safer anesthesia and better breathing after surgery.
