Breathing settings during surgery and lung recovery after
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are in generally good health and can tolerate surgery.
- Your risk of lung complications after surgery is considered elevated (based on a scoring tool called ARISCAT).
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, severe organ problems, or allergies to anesthesia medications.
- You are able to consent and are willing to participate.

This study tests different breathing settings during lung surgery to see which one helps keep your lungs healthy. It may help you breathe better after surgery.
This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
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 compares two different ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one works better. If you are having lung surgery with a small camera (video-assisted), this study might help improve your recovery.
This study looks at different ways to use a breathing machine during lung surgery to see which method helps keep oxygen levels stable and lowers the chance of lung problems after surgery. You might benefit from taking part if the right breathing method could help you recover better.
