Flow-controlled breathing during chest surgery to improve lung recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver oxygen during chest surgery using a special breathing tube. Researchers believe this method may help your lungs recover better after surgery and reduce breathing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) chest surgery that requires a special double-lumen breathing tube
- You weigh at least 40 kg (88 lbs)
- You do not have severe lung disease (advanced COPD, lung scarring, severe emphysema, or uncontrolled asthma)
- You do not have severe heart disease or heart failure
- You are able to give written informed consent

This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
This trial tests if a customized breathing method during surgery reduces breathing problems after the operation. Patients having minimally invasive lung surgery with one-lung ventilation for more than an hour might benefit from this personalized approach.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
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 study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
