Summary

This study looked at two ways to perform lung cancer surgery: one with a breathing tube (intubated) and one without (tubeless). The goal was to see if the tubeless method causes less lung injury, helps patients recover faster, and reduces carbon emissions. 73 adults with early-stage lung cancer took part. The results could lead to safer, more eco-friendly surgery.
