NCT ID NCT07288099
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study watches 100 adults having lung surgery to see if one type of anesthesia leads to faster recovery. Patients get either a computer-controlled IV drip or inhaled gas, based on their doctor's usual practice. Researchers track how quickly patients wake up, breathe on their own, and feel pain. The goal is to find which method helps people recover better after surgery.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at our institution. In routine practice, anesthesia for these procedures is provided either with target-controlled infusion (TCI) or with inhalational agents, according to the preference of the attending anesthesiologist. Patients between 18 and 65 years of age who meet the clinical criteria for VATS and are able to give informed consent will be included. Individuals with significant cardiorespiratory instability, ASA IV or higher, or conditions that may interfere with postoperative assessment will not be enrolled.
