Improving lung re-expansion after keyhole lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a keyhole (video-assisted or robot-assisted) surgery to remove part or all of a lung lobe.
- You are in generally stable health, with a limited number of other medical conditions (classified as ASA score 3 or less).
- You have not had lung surgery in the past.
- You have no severe heart failure, severe chronic lung disease, or severe kidney problems.
- If you could become pregnant, you must use effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test before the trial.
