Can a simple oxygen trick make lung surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07461779
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen or gentle air pressure to the lung that is not being used during lung surgery can lower the risk of problems after the operation. About 177 adults having lung surgery will be randomly assigned to standard care, extra oxygen alone, or extra oxygen with mild pressure. Researchers will track complications, inflammation, and recovery for 30 days after surgery.
