One-lung ventilation during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using only one lung for breathing during heart surgery can reduce lung complications after the operation. It may help patients at higher risk, such as those over 65 or having longer surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You are scheduled for major, non-emergency heart surgery
- You are expected to be on a heart-lung machine for a long time
- You do not have lung disease or a recent pneumonia
- You do not have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator
- You do not need extra mechanical support for your heart or lungs before surgery

This study is testing a special way of breathing during lung surgery to help protect your lungs and reduce complications. If you are having a lobectomy, this approach might help you recover better.
This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This study looks at how a special breathing machine setting affects patients during chest surgery when only one lung is used for breathing. It may help doctors improve care for people having lung or chest operations.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
This study is looking at how well certain risk scores predict lung problems after chest surgery. It involves patients who will have surgery using one-lung breathing, and the goal is to learn which scores are most useful.
