Left-sided breathing tubes for lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing different sizes of left-sided double-lumen tubes used to help people breathe during surgery on one lung. It aims to find the best tube size for adults having thoracic surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for surgery on your chest that requires one lung to be collapsed
- You will get a left-sided double-lumen breathing tube as part of your procedure

This trial tests different formulas to predict the correct size of a double-lumen breathing tube used during lung surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more effective for patients.
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.
This trial tests a video-guided double-lumen tube for people having a second lung surgery. It aims to make the breathing tube placement safer and more precise for those who have already had part of a lung removed.
This trial compares two ways of placing a special breathing tube (called a double-lumen tube) used for surgeries where only one lung is ventilated. It uses either a video camera laryngoscope or a standard direct laryngoscope to see where the tube goes. The goal is to see which method is better.
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 study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
