Study tests whether standard formulas accurately place breathing tubes in turkish patients
NCT ID NCT07191002
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 30 patients having lung surgery to see if six common formulas correctly predict how deep a double-lumen breathing tube should go. Doctors will use their usual methods and check placement with a camera. The goal is to improve safety and reduce complications like tube misplacement.
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 formula for placing breathing tubes during lung surgery, reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or settings.
