New lung monitoring technique aims to reduce surgery complications

NCT ID NCT06446544

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether using a special ventilator monitor to track lung volume during one-lung surgery, combined with lung-opening maneuvers, can prevent lung collapse after surgery. 44 adults having lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the monitoring plus maneuvers. The goal is to see if this approach reduces post-surgery lung problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

alveolar recruitment maneuvers guided by VPFE monitoring

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a standard way to prevent lung collapse during one-lung surgery, reducing complications like pneumonia.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is a procedure, not a drug, and benefits may be modest.
