Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are undergoing non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with pre-existing diaphragmatic dysfunction or those not affiliated with the French social security system may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This prospective longitudinal study aims to assess the incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients undergoing non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NIVATS). Participants will be evaluated during the surgery and again at 2 hours and 24 hours post-operation to monitor any changes in diaphragmatic function. The study focuses on patients undergoing procedures such as wedge resections, pneumothorax repair, and pleural biopsies. Data will be meticulously recorded by physicians in an electronic case report form (CRF).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of diaphragmatic dysfunction following thoracic surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: While there may be studies on diaphragmatic function post-surgery, this specific approach focusing on non-intubated techniques is relatively novel.
