New video tube aims to make repeat lung surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07467005
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a special breathing tube with a built-in camera for people undergoing repeat lung surgery. The tube helps doctors see exactly where it is placed, which may reduce problems like mispositioning. The trial will compare this video tube to the standard tube in 500 patients to see if it improves first-attempt success and reduces complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- video double-lumen tube (a device for breathing tube placement during surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make repeat lung surgery safer and more efficient by reducing breathing tube misplacement and related complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no results yet. The device may not significantly improve outcomes over standard methods, and individual patient anatomy may still cause difficulties.
