Choosing the right double-lumen tube size for lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests different formulas to predict the correct size of a double-lumen breathing tube used during lung surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more effective for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old
- You are having lung surgery that requires a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) placed through the left side
- Your physical health is rated as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to moderate risk)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40
- You agree to take part in the study

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 compares different sizes of a special breathing tube (called a double-lumen tube) used during chest surgery to help keep one lung collapsed while the other works. The goal is to find which size works best for safely and effectively supporting breathing during the operation.
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 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 trial tests a special breathing tube with a camera, called a video double-lumen tube, for people having a second lung surgery. The tube helps the doctor see and place it correctly, which may make the surgery safer and easier.
This study compares three ways to check if a breathing tube is in the right spot during lung surgery: using ultrasound, listening with a stethoscope, or looking with a tiny camera. It aims to find which method works best and is safest.
