Comparing lung opening techniques during lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether opening both lungs or just one lung during surgery helps improve oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery through small incisions. It may help doctors choose the best method to keep patients safe during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled to have lung surgery using a thoracoscope (small camera and tools through small cuts).
- Your overall health is rated as class I, II, or III by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
- You do not have heart failure.
- You have not had a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) or have lung blebs or bullae (air sacs) seen on scans.
- You are not currently on oxygen therapy or a breathing machine before surgery.

This study is testing a special way of breathing during lung surgery to help protect your lungs and reduce complications. If you are having a lobectomy, this approach might help you recover better.
This study compares two different ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one works better. If you are having lung surgery with a small camera (video-assisted), this study might help improve your recovery.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
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 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 trial compares two methods of opening the lungs (recruitment maneuvers) after heart-lung bypass to see which works better. The study aims to help patients recover their lung function more quickly after cardiac surgery.
