This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset while waiting for a bronchoscopy (a lung exam with a thin, flexible camera) can help lower your anxiety. You will be randomly assigned to either use the headset or get standard care.
This study tests whether a special breathing technique (non-invasive ventilation) can help stabilize your breathing before you have a bronchoscopy. It aims to reduce risks during the procedure and improve how well your lungs handle the test.
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise, called pursed-lip breathing, can help reduce anxiety and improve vital signs after a bronchoscopy in people with COPD. If it works, it could make the recovery from the procedure more comfortable.
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
This study tests a special breathing tube device that helps keep one lung working during chest surgery. It may help the surgeon see better and make the procedure safer.
This study looks at how fear and anxiety change in patients having surgery for the first time. Researchers will measure your feelings before and after anesthesia to better understand and help patients manage surgical anxiety.
