NCT ID NCT06502002
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, often used during anesthesia, can help protect the lungs after chest surgery. It involved 100 adults having lung surgery, comparing the drug to a placebo. The main goal was to see if the drug helps keep the lungs better inflated and reduces breathing problems after the operation.
