Predicting breathing problems after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tracks people having video or robot-assisted lung surgery to learn how to better predict and prevent serious breathing problems after the operation. By understanding your health before surgery, doctors hope to reduce complications and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your overall health is rated as good, fair, or serious but stable (ASA score 3 or lower).
- You are having a scheduled, minimally invasive lung surgery (video or robot-assisted) to remove a lobe, two lobes, or a segment of a lung.
- You understand the research and don't object to taking part.
- If you're a woman who could become pregnant, you are using effective birth control.
- You are covered by a social security scheme (health insurance).
