Checking blood pressure readings during lung surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks whether blood pressure readings from a standard arm cuff are as accurate as readings from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) during lung surgery with one lung collapsed. If the cuff is reliable, patients may need fewer invasive monitoring methods in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled to have lung surgery using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with one-lung ventilation (one lung collapsed during surgery).
- Your medical team will place an arterial line (a tiny tube in an artery) to monitor your blood pressure closely during the surgery.
- You do not have peripheral artery disease (blocked arteries in your limbs).
- You do not have congestive heart failure (heart pumping problems).

This study checks how well a simple arm cuff (non-invasive blood pressure monitoring) works compared to a more direct method using a small tube in an artery during laparoscopic surgery in a head-down position. The findings could help make blood pressure monitoring more accurate and comfortable for future patients.
This study checks whether a device that measures carbon dioxide in your breath (capnography) can reliably reflect the carbon dioxide level in your blood during lung surgery when only one lung is being used. This could help doctors monitor you more safely without extra blood tests.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during lung surgery using small incisions. By monitoring blood flow in a neck artery, doctors hope to improve safety during the operation.
This trial compares two ways to measure blood pressure during robot-assisted prostate surgery: a cuff on the arm (oscillometric) vs. a tiny tube in an artery (intraarterial). It aims to see if the cuff method is just as reliable, which could make monitoring simpler and less invasive.
This study tests a new device that measures blood pressure continuously without needing a needle in your artery. If you are having surgery and already need an arterial line, this device might offer a less invasive way to track your blood pressure during the procedure.
This trial tests a device that monitors blood pressure continuously during surgery using a finger cuff, instead of the standard arm cuff that gives readings every few minutes. You may be able to join if you are having surgery and are at higher risk of complications during anesthesia.
