Simple test may predict dangerous oxygen drops during lung surgery
NCT ID NCT06376123
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new tool to predict oxygen drops during one-lung ventilation, a common problem in lung surgery. Researchers collected patient data before surgery and used it to create a prediction chart. The goal is to help doctors prepare and prevent low oxygen levels. The study involved 40 adults undergoing elective lung surgery.
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 tool could help anesthesiologists anticipate and prevent low oxygen levels during lung surgery, making the procedure safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. The prediction tool needs much larger testing before it can be used in routine care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study includes patients with pulmonary diseases, indicated for surgery. Among them are pulmonectomy, segmentectomy, lobectomy or wedge resections. All these types of surgery require one-lung (non-operating lung) ventilation. The patients should be electively operated, aged more that 18 years and must have no other pulmonary conditions (like fibrosis, pneumonia, lung oedema or interstitial lung disease) that could interfere with Alveolo-arterial gradient calculations.
