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 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 different breathing settings during lung surgery to see which one helps keep your lungs healthy. It may help you breathe better after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of setting breathing support during laparoscopic surgery to see which one is better for your lungs. It may help you breathe more easily during and after surgery.
This study looks at how different breathing settings (called PEEP) during robotic surgery affect the lungs and overall outcomes. It aims to find the safest approach for patients undergoing this type of surgery.
This study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
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.
