Breathing easier: tubeless lung surgery may speed recovery and cut emissions
Symptom relief CompletedThis study looked at two ways to do lung cancer surgery: with a breathing tube (intubated) or without (tubeless). The goal was to see if tubeless surgery causes less lung damage, helps patients recover faster, and reduces carbon emissions. 73 adults with early-stage lung cancer t…

New clues to spot lung transplant trouble early
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 80 people who had a lung transplant to see if two simple tests could warn doctors early when a patient's health starts to get worse. The tests measured breathing effort (neural respiratory drive) and a heart-related protein (Pro-BNP) in the blood. The goal wa…
