CT scans could help pick the right breathing tube for lung surgery
NCT ID NCT07575763
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether using a CT scan to measure airway size helps doctors pick the correct breathing tube for lung surgery compared to standard methods based on patient height and weight. About 100 adults having elective lung surgery will be randomly assigned to either the CT-guided or traditional approach. The goal is to see which method leads to successful tube placement on the first try.
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 could lead to a more reliable method for choosing the right breathing tube size, reducing complications during lung surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The CT method may not significantly outperform traditional selection.
