Personalized breathing support during lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a customized breathing method during surgery reduces breathing problems after the operation. Patients having minimally invasive lung surgery with one-lung ventilation for more than an hour might benefit from this personalized approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 75 years old.
- General health status of ASA I, II, or III (roughly healthy to moderate illness).
- Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30.
- Scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS, a type of keyhole lung surgery).
- Surgery will need one-lung breathing for more than 1 hour.
- No severe lung disease like COPD, emphysema, or asthma that is not well controlled.

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 trial tests a new way to deliver oxygen during chest surgery using a special breathing tube. Researchers believe this method may help your lungs recover better after surgery and reduce breathing complications.
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
This trial compares two different breathing settings (tidal volumes) during surgery to see which one better prevents lung complications in older adults who are at higher risk. The goal is to find the safest way to ventilate the lungs during an operation.
This study tests whether giving gentle breathing support before and during major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications after the operation. It is for adults at medium to high risk for breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests a brief suction method during keyhole lung surgery to help the lung collapse better, making it easier for surgeons to operate. It may benefit adults having planned single-port lung surgery.
