Could a new anesthesia method help very underweight lung transplant patients breathe on their own after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07384572
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a new way to manage anesthesia during lung transplants for patients who are severely underweight (BMI under 16). Instead of using a breathing tube and machine, doctors will try to keep patients breathing on their own during surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover faster, need less breathing support after surgery, and have better survival. About 56 participants will be enrolled across multiple centers.
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
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce the need for breathing machines after lung transplant and shorten hospital stays for very underweight patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not apply to all patients. The strategy may not be safe or effective for everyone, and there are risks from the surgery itself.
