Can a See-Through tube make lung surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07362797
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study compares a new visual double-lumen tube to a standard tube for lung surgery. It aims to see if the visual tube helps doctors place it correctly on the first try and reduces complications. 500 adults having lung surgery will be randomly assigned to one tube type. The goal is to improve safety and efficiency during surgery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
\*\*Inclusion Criteria:\*\* 1. Adults aged 18 years or older. 2. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III. 3. Scheduled for elective thoracoscopic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation with a right-sided double-lumen tube. 4. Able to provide written informed consent. \*\*Exclusion Criteria:\*\* 1. Contraindication to placement of a right-sided double-lumen tube, including a lesion involving the right main bronchus that precludes its use. 2. Known tracheobronchial anatomical abnormality that may interfere with right-sided double-lumen tube placement or lung isolation. 3. Known or anticipated difficult airway. 4. Requirement for rapid-sequence induction. 5. Emergency surgery. 6. Severe respiratory instability that, in the investigator's judgement, makes participation unsafe. 7. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial that could interfere with the present study.
