Can smarter ventilation during lung surgery prevent complications?
NCT ID NCT07353788
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will observe 300 adults undergoing chest surgery that requires one-lung ventilation. Researchers want to see if a measure called 'mechanical power' is linked to lung problems like pneumonia or respiratory failure in the first five days after surgery. The goal is to find safer ventilation strategies to improve patient recovery.
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 successful, this study could help doctors choose safer ventilator settings during one-lung ventilation, potentially reducing lung complications after thoracic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can show links but cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.
