Which breathing tube size works best for lung surgery?
NCT ID NCT07373171
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two different sizes of double-lumen breathing tubes used during lung surgery. It aims to see if a smaller 35 Fr tube is easier to insert, keeps oxygen levels stable, and causes less sore throat afterward. About 60 adults having lung surgery will take part, and their results will be compared based on the tube size they receive.
