Comparing three airway tools for double-lumen tube placement in lung surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares three methods for placing a special breathing tube that helps doctors collapse one lung during chest surgery. The goal is to find which method works best and is safest for patients having elective lung procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for non-emergency chest surgery that requires one lung to be collapsed
- You are in overall good health or have mild controlled medical conditions (ASA I–III)
- You do not have a history of difficult airways, recent throat surgery, or significant breathing blockage
- You are not pregnant

This trial compares a new video laryngoscope to a standard one for placing a special breathing tube used in lung surgeries. It aims to see which device works better for patients having planned chest operations.
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 compares two types of breathing tubes used during robot-assisted esophageal cancer surgery. One tube blocks one lung (double-lumen tube) and the other tube uses a smaller blocker (bronchial blocker); researchers want to see which causes fewer voice box nerve injuries after surgery.
This trial compares two types of video laryngoscopes (Laringocel® and C-MAC®) to see which one works better for placing a breathing tube in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. If you are 18 or older and scheduled for elective surgery, you may be able to join.
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 two ways to place the special breathing tube used for one-lung ventilation during surgery. If you are having surgery that needs this tube, you may be randomly assigned to one of the two methods to see which works better.
