Oxygen levels during lung surgery and lung collapse after
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for a lung surgery where one lung is collapsed during the operation (called VATS lobectomy).
- The surgery is expected to last more than one hour with one lung collapsed.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III).
- You have not had lung surgery before.
- You do not have significant lung collapse already, severe COPD, or a BMI of 30 or higher.
- You do not have heart or brain blood vessel disease, or conditions that prevent using certain breathing support (PEEP).

This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
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 trial tests whether giving a specific level of extra oxygen during prone spine surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. It uses a simple ultrasound to check the lungs, and aims to find a better way to manage oxygen during surgery for your safety and recovery.
This study tests whether using a lower oxygen level during lung surgery with one lung collapsed is safe when guided by a brain oxygen monitor. It may help reduce lung injury while keeping the brain healthy.
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
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.
