Predicting breathing problems after lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to predict breathing-related complications after lung surgery. By participating, you may help doctors better identify who might need extra care after surgery, which could lead to better recovery and safety for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in fairly good health (no severe heart or lung problems).
- You are scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery (using small incisions and a camera) to remove part or all of a lung lobe.
- Your surgery is not scheduled for a Friday.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you are using effective birth control or are past menopause, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study uses lung ultrasound before surgery to see if it can help predict breathing complications after major non-chest surgery. If you are having a long surgery under general anesthesia, this could help your care team better monitor and protect your lungs.
This study looks at whether your physical fitness before lung surgery can predict breathing problems after surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better prepare patients for recovery.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support before, during, and after major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications like pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The goal is to help patients recover more smoothly.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
