NCT ID NCT02361983
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at two types of breathing tubes used during lung surgery to help patients breathe with only one lung. Researchers compared how often the tubes moved out of place and how long it took to position them correctly. Over 2,200 patients took part, and the results help doctors choose the best tube for safer surgery.
