NCT ID NCT06457763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using ultrasound to select the right breathing tube for one-lung ventilation could reduce complications like sore throat and coughing after surgery. 74 adults having lung surgery were randomly assigned to either ultrasound guidance or the standard method. The goal was to see if ultrasound leads to fewer post-operative throat problems.

What this could lead to
If successful, using ultrasound could make tube placement more accurate and reduce post-operative throat pain and coughing for patients undergoing lung surgery.
