Extra oxygen during lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen during surgery helps people who are having part of their lung removed for lung cancer. It may help keep oxygen levels stable while the lung is not being used for breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove one section (segment) of your lung because of lung cancer
- You are not on long-term steroid or immune-suppressing medications
- You do not have severe lung diseases like advanced COPD, severe asthma, or severe scarring of the lungs
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 2 hours, and you are not likely to have serious problems during the operation (such as low blood pressure, heart rhythm changes, or low oxygen levels)
- You have given written permission to participate

This study tests whether a slightly raised head-and-shoulders position (semi-recumbent) helps prevent low oxygen levels after lung surgery. If you are having a small-incision lung removal, it may help you breathe better after the operation.
This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This trial tests if giving extra oxygen through a special laryngoscope blade can help patients maintain oxygen levels while a breathing tube is placed during general anesthesia. It may be an option for adults having surgery with general anesthesia.
