Heart strain during lung surgery: new study investigates One-Lung breathing risks

NCT ID NCT07302243

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at 39 adults having chest surgery with one-lung ventilation to see if it causes heart muscle injury. Researchers measured troponin levels before and 6-12 hours after surgery. The goal is to understand how this common breathing technique affects the heart, which could lead to safer anesthesia practices.

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 the results show a clear link, this could help anesthesiologists adjust techniques to reduce heart strain during lung surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-group study with only 39 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It only measured markers at one time point, so long-term effects are unknown.
