Breathing tube-free anesthesia for lung transplant recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new anesthesia approach that avoids a breathing tube during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if it helps patients wake up faster and spend less time in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are on the waiting list for a lung transplant and scheduled for surgery.
- You are not currently on a breathing machine or heart-lung support before surgery.
- Your heart pumps at least 40% of blood out each beat, your kidneys work well, and your liver is healthy.
- You do not have an active infection, including tuberculosis, and are cleared for HIV, hepatitis B, and C.
- You are physically able to do rehab after surgery and have a family member or friend who can help care for you.

This trial tests a special way of breathing during lung transplant surgery for people aged 70 and older. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own during the procedure leads to a faster and smoother recovery.
This trial studies a new way to manage breathing during lung transplant surgery for people who are severely underweight. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing machine) helps you recover faster after surgery.
This study tests a new approach during rescue lung transplant surgery where the patient breathes on their own instead of being put on a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to see if this helps patients recover faster after surgery.
This study looks at how your breathing muscles and leg muscles work before and after a lung transplant. It may help doctors understand how to improve recovery and physical function after surgery.
This trial tests a new anesthesia method that avoids using a breathing tube during kidney transplant surgery. It might help patients recover faster and with fewer breathing problems.
This study tests whether heart transplant surgery can be done while the patient is awake and breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. If successful, it may lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
