Comparing breathing methods during lung surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having lung surgery that is scheduled ahead of time (not an emergency).
- Your surgery will use a small camera and small cuts (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery).
- You have chronic lung disease (COPD) that is mild or moderate (GOLD groups 1 or 2).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before this surgery.
- You are willing to take part and sign a consent form.

This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
This study looks at how doctors monitor oxygen levels in patients having lung surgery that requires one lung to be collapsed for at least an hour. The goal is to improve patient safety.
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 checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
This study compares different breathing settings used during surgery to see which may reduce lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly after surgery.
