Lung ventilation during chest surgery to reduce complications
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive chest surgery (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, or VATS).
- Your surgery is expected to last more than one hour with one lung collapsed.
- You do not have severe lung disease (like COPD, fibrosis, or severe emphysema) or heart disease.
- You have not had chest surgery or been on a breathing machine in the past month.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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.
This study looks at how doctors monitor oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery that requires one lung to be collapsed for at least an hour. The goal is to improve patient safety.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This trial tests whether a short suction step during keyhole lung surgery helps the lung collapse better, which may make the surgery easier and safer. It is for adults having planned single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery) at Siriraj Hospital.
