Comparing breathing settings during surgery in older adults
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different breathing settings (tidal volumes) during surgery to see which one better prevents lung complications in older adults who are at higher risk. The goal is to find the safest way to ventilate the lungs during an operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 50 years old.
- You are generally healthy (ASA I or II) and can handle surgery.
- You have a high risk score (more than 26) for lung problems after surgery.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- You do not have severe mental illness or allergy to anesthesia medicines.

This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
This trial tests if a customized breathing method during surgery reduces breathing problems after the operation. Patients having minimally invasive lung surgery with one-lung ventilation for more than an hour might benefit from this personalized approach.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one keeps your oxygen levels more stable. You will be randomly assigned to breathe either normally or with a special mode during the one-lung part of the surgery.
This study looks at how the length of time one lung is used for breathing during surgery affects thinking and memory after the operation, as well as pain levels. It may help older adults understand the risks of lung surgery and how to better manage recovery.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
