Tiny study explores better lung monitoring during surgery
NCT ID NCT04725318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special pressure measurement (esophageal pressure) can be used during surgeries where only one lung is ventilated. Six adults having non-cardiac surgery participated. Researchers compared the pressure readings to lung collapse images from a device called electrical impedance tomography. The goal was to see if this method is feasible and valid for guiding ventilator settings.
