Heat and moisture during lung surgery: a study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special device that adds heat and moisture to the air you breathe during surgery can help people who have lung surgery through small incisions (VATS). If you are having planned lung surgery that requires one-lung ventilation, you may be able to join.
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 a planned video-assisted lung surgery (VATS) to remove part of your lung.
- Your surgery will use general anesthesia and require that only one lung is ventilated at a time.
- You are not having an emergency surgery.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not on a breathing machine before surgery.

This study tracks your body temperature during video-assisted lung or chest tumor surgery to see if staying warmer reduces complications and pain afterward. If you are having this type of surgery and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
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 tests different ventilator (breathing machine) settings during and after surgery to help your lungs work better and stay healthy. Researchers will use ultrasound pictures of your lungs to find the best settings for you.
This trial tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen after surgery helps patients breathe easier and recover better in the recovery room. It might reduce breathing problems after waking up from anesthesia.
This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
This study looks at different ways of giving breathing support during laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find the safest settings for the ventilator (breathing machine) to protect your lungs during the procedure.
