Video double-lumen tube for repeat lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special breathing tube with a camera, called a video double-lumen tube, for people having a second lung surgery. The tube helps the doctor see and place it correctly, which may make the surgery safer and easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had lung surgery before.
- You are scheduled for another elective (planned) lung surgery.
- Your doctor plans to use a left-sided double-lumen tube for the surgery.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I-III).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe breathing problems or other conditions that would make the surgery unsafe.

This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. One method uses a video to guide the tube, while the other is the standard approach. The goal is to see if the video method works better or is safer.
This study tests whether removing the chest tube right after a small lung surgery (wedge resection) helps patients recover faster and with less pain. It compares the usual care with a tubeless approach.
This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
This study compares different sizes of a special breathing tube (called a double-lumen tube) used during chest surgery to help keep one lung collapsed while the other works. The goal is to find which size works best for safely and effectively supporting breathing during the operation.
This trial tests different formulas to predict the correct size of a double-lumen breathing tube used during lung surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more effective for patients.
