Keeping body temperature steady during lung surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study checks if keeping your body temperature steady during lung surgery (using a special monitor) helps reduce pain after the operation. It may also lower the risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to remove a lung or mediastinal tumor, and the surgery is expected to last at least 1 hour.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.
- Your overall health is classified as ASA I, II, or III – meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to severe but stable medical conditions.
- You will receive general anesthesia along with a nerve block to numb the area around your ribs and chest during surgery.
- You do not have conditions like chronic pain (using opioids for over 3 months), immunosuppression, thyroid problems, or a neurological condition that affects pain perception.
- You do not currently have a fever or low body temperature, and your surgery is not an emergency.

This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This study looks at whether a special device that adds heat and moisture to the air you breathe during surgery can help people who have lung surgery through small incisions (VATS). If you are having planned lung surgery that requires one-lung ventilation, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
This study tests a method to keep the body temperature stable during long abdominal surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether carefully managing a patient's body temperature during cancer surgery can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium and improve long-term survival. It is for older adults undergoing major cancer surgery.
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
