Could keeping patients breathing naturally during lung transplant speed recovery?
NCT ID NCT07384533
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new anesthesia method that lets patients breathe on their own during lung transplant surgery, instead of using a breathing tube. Researchers want to see if this approach helps patients recover faster and need less breathing support after surgery. The study will include 40 adults with end-stage lung disease who need a rescue transplant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
spontaneous-breathing-preserving anesthesia strategy during lung transplantation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce the need for post-transplant breathing machines and shorten hospital stays, improving early recovery for critically ill lung transplant patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries standard surgical risks like infection, bleeding, or graft failure.
