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 study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. One method uses a video to guide the tube, while the other is the standard approach. The goal is to see if the video method works better or is safer.
This study tests different breathing settings during lung surgery to see which one helps keep your lungs healthy. It may help you breathe better after surgery.
This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
