Comparing carbon dioxide checks during jet ventilation for liver tumor ablation
This study looks at two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels during a special type of breathing support called jet ventilation. The goal is to see if less invasive checks work as well as standard ones for people having a procedure to treat liver tumors with heat (radiofrequency ablation).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older)
- You have a liver tumor that needs treatment with radiofrequency ablation
- Your doctor plans to use jet ventilation for your procedure

This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine (ventilator) during a tumor-destroying procedure called thermal ablation. The goal is to find the safest pressure settings to protect your lungs while you are sedated.
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) for early-stage lung cancer that is located in the outer parts of the lung. One approach uses a needle through the chest wall, the other uses a bronchoscope through the airways. The goal is to see which works better for people who cannot have surgery.
This study compares two ways to destroy early-stage lung cancer without surgery: one using a needle through the chest (CT-guided) and another using a thin tube through the mouth (bronchoscopy-guided). It might be an option if you have small, outer-edge lung cancer and cannot or prefer not to have surgery.
This study follows patients who are having a procedure called thermal ablation to treat liver tumors. It aims to learn more about how well the procedure works and how safe it is.
This study tests a new way to measure how well your liver grows back and heals after part of it is removed. The goal is to predict and prevent complications after surgery.
This study tests new criteria for evaluating how well thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer nodules) worked in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, a type of liver cancer). It aims to improve follow-up imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or CT/MRI to see if the treatment was successful.
