Brief suction during lung surgery to improve lung collapse
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a brief suction method during keyhole lung surgery to help the lung collapse better, making it easier for surgeons to operate. It may benefit adults having planned single-port lung surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or less
- You are in good enough health for surgery (ASA class I to III)
- You are scheduled for elective single-port video-assisted lung surgery
- You need a special breathing tube to let one lung rest during surgery
- You will be lying on your side during the surgery
- You can give written consent to take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether using a lower amount of oxygen during lung surgery helps reduce the risk of lung collapse after the operation. It may lead to better breathing and faster recovery after your surgery.
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 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 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 uses lung ultrasound to see how different positions during surgery affect lung collapse after general anesthesia. It may help find ways to reduce breathing problems after an operation.
