Which airway method is safer for Single-Lung ventilation during heart surgery?
NCT ID NCT06299735
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at two ways to manage breathing during heart surgery that requires one lung to be deflated. Researchers compared using a double-lumen tube versus a bronchial blocker in 66 patients. They checked for lung problems after surgery, how long it took to place the device, and how well the lung collapsed. The goal is to find which method leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If one method proves better, it could guide anesthesiologists in choosing the safest airway technique for patients needing single-lung ventilation during heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It compares techniques, not a new treatment, so no major breakthrough is expected.
