Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for lung resection surgery (part of your lung removed).
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to give permission for the study.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you cannot join.
- You cannot have had surgery on the opposite side of your chest before.
- You have not had a blood transfusion in the past 10 days or taken certain immune-suppressing medicines in the last 3 months.
- Your lungs should not have any large air-filled blisters (bullae).

This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
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.
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 study looks at whether giving extra oxygen during recovery from general anesthesia changes how you breathe after surgery. You may be offered different oxygen levels around the time you wake up to see what helps your breathing most comfortably.
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.
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.
