Video-guided placement of breathing tube for chest surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be in generally good health (with or without well-controlled medical conditions).
- You must be scheduled for a thoracoscopic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery on your chest) that requires one lung to be deflated during the procedure.
- You must not have any known problem in your right main airway that would prevent using a special breathing tube on that side.
- You must not have a difficult airway or need an emergency surgery.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.

This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. One method uses a video to guide the tube, while the other is the standard approach. The goal is to see if the video method works better or is safer.
This study compares two ways to place the special breathing tube used for one-lung ventilation during surgery. If you are having surgery that needs this tube, you may be randomly assigned to one of the two methods to see which works better.
This trial compares three methods for placing a special breathing tube that helps doctors collapse one lung during chest surgery. The goal is to find which method works best and is safest for patients having elective lung procedures.
This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
This study compares two methods for choosing the right size breathing tube for lung surgery: one uses a CT scan beforehand, the other uses standard sizing. The goal is to see which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.
