Lung surgery study: how breathing tube time affects recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for chest surgery (thoracic surgery)
- Your surgery will involve a breathing tube that lets only one lung work (called one-lung ventilation)
- You have not had chest surgery before
- This study does not include children or teenagers

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different oxygen levels used during lung surgery to see if one helps prevent the lung from partially collapsing afterward. It may help you recover better after your operation.
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.
This study compares two ways to place the special breathing tube used for one-lung ventilation during surgery. If you are having surgery that needs this tube, you may be randomly assigned to one of the two methods to see which works 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 looks at how doctors monitor oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery that requires one lung to be collapsed for at least an hour. The goal is to improve patient safety.
