Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18–85 scheduled for thoracic surgery with planned one-lung ventilation and no prior thoracic surgery.

Probably not a fit

Pediatric patients, people who do not require one-lung ventilation, and those with previous thoracic surgery (who are excluded) are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study follows 134 adults undergoing thoracic surgery with planned one-lung ventilation to examine whether the duration of single-lung ventilation is linked to postoperative pulmonary complications. Perioperative data including exact SLV duration and other anesthesia and surgical parameters will be recorded. Postoperative outcomes tracked include pneumonia, pneumothorax, hemothorax, acute lung injury, ARDS, and atelectasis, and the data will be analyzed for associations. The study is single-center at Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital and excludes pediatric patients and those with prior thoracic surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If a clear link is found, clinicians could limit or modify single-lung ventilation time to reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.

How similar studies have gone: Previous observational and retrospective studies have suggested an association between longer single-lung ventilation and higher rates of pulmonary complications, but findings are mixed and prospective data are limited.
