Better breathing support during lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having lung surgery that requires removing part of your lung and special breathing support for over 1 hour
- You are in generally good health (American Society of Anesthesiologists status I–III, which most surgical patients are)
- You can function independently or with minor limitations (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status 0–2)
- You do not have large air pockets (bullae) in your lungs
- You have not been on a breathing machine before this surgery
- Your heart rate and blood pressure are stable before surgery, and your surgery does not require heart-lung bypass

This trial compares two ways of setting breathing machine pressure (PEEP) during laparoscopic surgery. It tests whether tailoring the pressure to each patient is better than using a fixed pressure for everyone. This might help people breathe easier during and after surgery.
This study compares different breathing-support methods during robotic surgery to see which approach protects your lungs best. Researchers will monitor how your lungs respond and measure the overall stress on your respiratory system.
This study tests different ventilator (breathing machine) settings during and after surgery to help your lungs work better and stay healthy. Researchers will use ultrasound pictures of your lungs to find the best settings for you.
This trial tests a new way of using a breathing machine during surgery that removes part of a lung, aiming to reduce lung damage. It may lead to a smoother recovery after surgery.
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.
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.
