3D airway imaging to guide breathing tube placement during lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a 3D model of your airway helps doctors place a breathing tube more precisely during video-assisted lung surgery. It may improve safety and accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective lung surgery using a video camera (VATS).
- Your surgery requires a special breathing tube called a double-lumen tube.
- Your health status is classified as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to mild/moderate disease).
- You have a recent chest CT scan available for creating a 3D airway model.
- You do not have severe lung disease like serious COPD, active pneumonia, or asthma flare-up.

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 study tests a new way to recover from lung surgery without using a breathing tube during the operation. It is designed for small lung nodules (2 cm or less) to help you recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.
This study tests an AI tool that uses your head and neck CT scan images to help doctors predict whether placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. This could help them plan safer anesthesia for you.
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 uses 3D models from your CT scan to help doctors predict how well your lungs will work after surgery. It is for people having a certain type of lung surgery (VATS) to remove part of a lung.
This study tests if using ultrasound with routine checks can better predict the best way to place a breathing tube during surgery. It aims to make intubation safer and more successful.
