Breathing monitor during lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new monitor (AirGo™) that tracks breathing during surgery to remove part of the lung. It may help doctors watch your breathing more closely and could lead to safer procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive lung removal (removing part or all of a lobe) using video-assisted techniques.
- You are able to perform a breathing test (spirometry).
- You do not have active chest or back pain, are not pregnant, and your body mass index is 30 or less.
- You have not had major surgery or trauma in the past year, and you do not have air or fluid around your lungs.
- You can follow study procedures, understand Italian, and give your consent.

This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
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 study tests a new way to monitor your body's fluid levels during lung surgery, especially for patients who are at higher risk for complications. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce problems after surgery.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive breathing monitor to help doctors decide when it's safe to remove the breathing tube after upper abdominal surgery. It aims to reduce complications by predicting who will breathe well on their own.
This study tests a new way to manage breathing during lung surgery that might reduce lung complications after the operation. It could help patients recover better and avoid problems like infection or fluid buildup in the lungs.
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
