Monitoring blood flow during lung surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during lung surgery using small incisions. By monitoring blood flow in a neck artery, doctors hope to improve safety during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have lung surgery using a thoracoscope (a tiny camera through small cuts).
- You do not have narrowing or an unusual shape of the main artery in your neck.
- You do not have emphysema (a lung condition that damages air sacs).
- You do not have an irregular heartbeat.

This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
This trial checks whether blood pressure readings from a standard arm cuff are as accurate as readings from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) during lung surgery with one lung collapsed. If the cuff is reliable, patients may need fewer invasive monitoring methods in the future.
This trial studies how your heart and blood flow react during surgery to remove your esophagus. It aims to help doctors keep your blood pressure and circulation stable during the operation, which could lead to a safer recovery.
This trial looks at how a heart-lung machine affects tiny blood vessels in the heart and under the tongue during valve or aorta surgery. It may help doctors understand how to improve blood flow and recovery after surgery.
This study checks whether a device that measures carbon dioxide in your breath (capnography) can reliably reflect the carbon dioxide level in your blood during lung surgery when only one lung is being used. This could help doctors monitor you more safely without extra blood tests.
This trial compares a neck ultrasound test (carotid Doppler) with a heart monitoring method (thermodilution) to see if they give consistent blood-flow readings. It may help clinicians measure circulation more reliably in people having heart surgery.
