NCT ID NCT05022446
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study surveys pulmonologists across the US to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic changed their lung procedure practices, staffing, and operations. Researchers hope the findings will help guide future pandemic responses and improve care. About 250 doctors who are members of professional lung associations will participate.
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 successful, this study could help hospitals and doctors better prepare for future pandemics by understanding what worked and what didn't in pulmonary care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a survey study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly help patients. Results depend on honest and complete responses from doctors, which may not reflect all experiences.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pulmonologists that are members of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) and/or the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) * These organizations were chosen because their member databases are composed of pulmonologists in the United States (U.S.) that perform the pulmonary procedures described in this survey. Letters of approval will be obtained from these organizations and provided to the MD Anderson Institutional Review Board (IRB). Once the MD Anderson IRB approves this survey study, the survey will be sent to the relevant subcommittees of these organizations for their electronic dissemination to their membership Exclusion Criteria: None
