Video double-lumen tube for repeat lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a video-guided double-lumen tube for people having a second lung surgery. It aims to make the breathing tube placement safer and more precise for those who have already had part of a lung removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had part of a lung removed before.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) lung surgery.
- You are expected to receive a left-sided double-lumen tube (a special breathing tube for the procedure).
- Your overall health status is rated as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to stable chronic disease).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of lung surgery for people with lung nodules or lung cancer: one with a breathing tube (standard) and one without (non-intubated). The goal is to see if the non-intubated approach is safer and helps you recover faster.
This study tests whether it is safe to avoid placing a chest tube after lung surgery when a special air-leak test shows no leak. If you are having a small lung removal (wedge resection) through one small cut, you may be able to leave the hospital without a tube, which could mean less pain and a faster recovery.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
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 trial is testing different sizes of left-sided double-lumen tubes used to help people breathe during surgery on one lung. It aims to find the best tube size for adults having thoracic surgery.
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.
