All recruiting trials (7)
-
AI-assisted chest CT report drafting to save radiologist time
This study tests whether an AI draft report can help experienced chest radiologists write chest CT reports faster without sacrificing quality.
-
Manual chest wall vibration to help breathing and remove chest tubes after thoracic surgery
This trial tests whether manual vibration of the chest wall helps clear secretions and shortens chest tube time for people recovering from thoracic surgery.
-
Perioperative high-dose nicotine patch for pain sensitivity in male smokers undergoing thoracic surgery
We will try a high-dose nicotine patch around the time of surgery to see if it reduces pain sensitivity in adult male smokers having thoracoscopic lung surgery.
-
Ciprofol to reduce heart injury after VATS lung surgery
This trial tests whether using ciprofol instead of propofol during general anesthesia for adults having VATS lung or mediastinal surgery can lower the chance of postoperative heart injury (MINS).
-
Erector spinae block for pain management in thoracic surgery
This study is testing if a special pain relief technique using erector spinae blocks can help patients having lung surgery feel less pain and need fewer pain medications after their operation.
-
Tracking daily steps in older thoracic surgery patients
This study tests whether older patients having thoracic surgery are willing to wear a Fitbit to track their daily steps in the week before their surgery.
-
Registry for thoracic disease specimens
This study is collecting samples from patients with lung diseases like lung cancer to help researchers learn more about these conditions and find better treatments.
