Brief suction during lung surgery to improve lung collapse
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a short suction step during keyhole lung surgery helps the lung collapse better, which may make the surgery easier and safer. It is for adults having planned single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery) at Siriraj Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA status I to III).
- You are scheduled for single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery (a type of keyhole surgery) at Siriraj Hospital.
- You need one-lung ventilation, where one lung is collapsed during surgery using a special tube.
- You are having surgery while lying on your side.
- You can give written consent.
- You have not had chest surgery before.
- You do not have severe scar tissue in the chest (pleural adhesions) or unusual airway structure.

This study tests a personalized way of ventilating (breathing support) the lungs during chest surgery to see if it reduces breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients recover more smoothly after a minimally invasive chest operation.
This study compares two different oxygen levels used during lung surgery to see if one helps prevent the lung from partially collapsing afterward. It may help you recover better after your operation.
This study looks at how a special breathing machine setting affects patients during chest surgery when only one lung is used for breathing. It may help doctors improve care for people having lung or chest operations.
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 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 study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
