Visual bronchial blocker for lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing tube device that helps keep one lung working during chest surgery. It may help the surgeon see better and make the procedure safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for chest surgery that requires one lung to be temporarily collapsed.
- You are in generally good health (or have mild to moderate health conditions).
- You do not have major airway blockages or unusual anatomy in your windpipe.
- You have not had previous chest surgery that changed your airway structure.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

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 study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. One method uses a video to guide the tube, while the other is the standard approach. The goal is to see if the video method works better or is safer.
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.
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 uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
