Gentle lung ventilation during lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a lobectomy (a surgery to remove a lobe of your lung) while under general anesthesia and with one lung collapsed.
- You must be in relatively good health before surgery, as classified by your anesthesiologist (ASA I, II, or III).
- You must not have had previous chest surgery.
- Your surgery must not be an emergency.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether using only one lung for breathing during heart surgery can reduce lung complications after the operation. It may help patients at higher risk, such as those over 65 or having longer surgeries.
This study tests whether adjusting breathing machine settings during lung surgery improves oxygen levels and recovery. If you're having lung surgery, this trial may help doctors keep you safer during the procedure.
This study tests whether opening both lungs or just one lung during surgery helps improve oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery through small incisions. It may help doctors choose the best method to keep patients safe during the procedure.
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 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 study looks at different ways to use a breathing machine during lung surgery to see which method helps keep oxygen levels stable and lowers the chance of lung problems after surgery. You might benefit from taking part if the right breathing method could help you recover better.
