Video-guided tube placement for lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. One method uses a video to guide the tube, while the other is the standard approach. The goal is to see if the video method works better or is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for lung surgery that requires a special breathing tube.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I-III).
- You do not have any conditions that would make placing the tube unsafe, like abnormalities in your airway or recent chest surgery.
- You are not having emergency surgery or have severe breathing problems.

This trial compares two ways of placing a breathing tube for lung surgery. It tests whether using a video to guide the tube placement works better than the standard method. If you are having keyhole chest surgery that needs one lung collapsed, this study may help improve your care.
This trial tests a special breathing tube with a camera, called a video double-lumen tube, for people having a second lung surgery. The tube helps the doctor see and place it correctly, which may make the surgery safer and easier.
This study compares two ways to place the special breathing tube used for one-lung ventilation during surgery. If you are having surgery that needs this tube, you may be randomly assigned to one of the two methods to see which works better.
This trial tests whether using a 3D model of your airway helps doctors place a breathing tube more precisely during video-assisted lung surgery. It may improve safety and accuracy.
This study compares two methods for choosing the right size breathing tube for lung surgery: one uses a CT scan beforehand, the other uses standard sizing. The goal is to see which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This study tests a new way to recover from lung surgery without using a breathing tube during the operation. It is designed for small lung nodules (2 cm or less) to help you recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.
