Lung surgery study for people with obesity
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher.
- You have or are suspected to have lung cancer.
- You are scheduled for lung removal surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy, or wedge resection) through keyhole or open surgery.
- Your surgery needs one-lung ventilation.
- You do not have major airway differences that make a double-lumen tube unsafe.
- Your surgery is not an emergency procedure.

This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
This trial tests a brief suction method during keyhole lung surgery to help the lung collapse better, making it easier for surgeons to operate. It may benefit adults having planned single-port lung surgery.
This trial compares two lung opening techniques during surgery to see which helps you breathe better afterward. It's for people having a lung surgery through small cuts.
This trial tests if a customized breathing method during surgery reduces breathing problems after the operation. Patients having minimally invasive lung surgery with one-lung ventilation for more than an hour might benefit from this personalized approach.
This trial tests a video-guided double-lumen tube for people having a second lung surgery. It aims to make the breathing tube placement safer and more precise for those who have already had part of a lung removed.
