Comparing two types of ventilation during one-lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having planned (not emergency) chest surgery where one lung needs to be temporarily deflated for at least 30 minutes.
- You do not have severe lung disease (such as advanced COPD, tuberculosis, or other serious lung problems).
- You do not have a serious heart condition (like a recent heart attack or a very weak heart pump).
- You are not severely obese (BMI less than 35).
- You are willing and able to give written permission to participate.

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 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 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.
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
