No-breathing-tube surgery for early lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a small, early-stage lung nodule that is planned for removal through a single small incision in the chest (single-port thoracoscopic surgery).
- You are generally active and well (your daily activities are not limited by health problems).
- Your heart and lungs are in good working condition.
- You are not obese (BMI under 30) and have no history of major lung surgery or chronic lung disease with a lot of mucus.

This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
This trial tests a 'tubeless' approach to lung surgery, meaning no breathing tube or chest tube is used during or after the procedure. It aims to help patients recover faster after surgery for small lung nodules.
This study compares two types of lung surgery for people with lung nodules or lung cancer: one with a breathing tube (standard) and one without (non-intubated). The goal is to see if the non-intubated approach is safer and helps you recover faster.
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 ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to find the best approach to help you recover faster and with fewer side effects.
