One vs. Two Lung Opening Techniques in Lung Surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a lung surgery done through small cuts (thoracoscopy or VATS).
- You are in good enough health for surgery (ASA class I to III).
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 1 hour while one lung is collapsed.
- You do not have heart failure, a history of collapsed lung, or lung air blisters.
- You do not use extra oxygen or a breathing machine before surgery.

This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
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 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 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 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.
