Intraoperative Warmth and Moisture for VATS: Do Humidified Gases Help After Thoracic Surgery?
This observational study looks at whether using heated, humidified gases during VATS with one-lung ventilation helps reduce lung-related postoperative problems.

High-dose dexamethasone to reduce pain after VATS lung surgery
This trial will test whether a single high IV dose of dexamethasone given at anesthesia induction reduces morning coughing pain after VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy for patients who score high on the Pain Catastrophizing Scale.
