Adjusting breathing machine for tumor ablation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine (ventilator) during a tumor-destroying procedure called thermal ablation. The goal is to find the safest pressure settings to protect your lungs while you are sedated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a thermal ablation (a procedure that uses heat or cold to destroy a tumor) in interventional radiology.
- You will be receiving high-frequency jet ventilation (a special type of breathing support) during the procedure.
- You have not had an entire lung removed (pneumonectomy).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are able to understand French and are covered by social security.

This study looks at two ways of measuring carbon dioxide levels during a special type of breathing support called jet ventilation. The goal is to see if less invasive checks work as well as standard ones for people having a procedure to treat liver tumors with heat (radiofrequency ablation).
This trial tests a procedure that uses steam (vapor) to destroy small lung tumors without surgery. It may be an option for people with early-stage lung cancer or small tumors that have spread to the lungs, when surgery is not preferred.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to treat lung cancer using microwave energy delivered through a thin tube inserted into the airway. It is for people with small, confirmed lung tumors who are already being considered for surgery, and who cannot or prefer not to have blood thinners.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to destroy lung tumors. It is for people who are already candidates for surgery but may want a less invasive option.
This trial studies two ways of using a breathing machine during a heart procedure called radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to find which method is better and safer.
This study tests a new way to treat small lung cancers during a scope procedure, followed by surgery. The treatment uses freezing and heat to destroy the tumor, and the study checks how safe and effective it is.
