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 is testing a special way of breathing during lung surgery to help protect your lungs and reduce complications. If you are having a lobectomy, this approach might help you recover better.
This study is testing how different ventilator settings (the machine that breathes for you during surgery) affect your lungs after surgery. They will use ultrasound to check for lung problems in the first 2 hours after surgery to see which setting is best for recovery.
This study checks if keeping your body temperature steady during lung surgery (using a special monitor) helps reduce pain after the operation. It may also lower the risk of complications.
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during laparoscopic surgery affect the lungs. It will help doctors make ventilation safer for patients, especially those with lung issues.
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 ways of helping you breathe during lung surgery to see which one works better. If you are having lung surgery with a small camera (video-assisted), this study might help improve your recovery.
