How the length of single-lung ventilation affects lung complications after chest surgery
Does Duration Matter? A Study on Single-Lung Ventilation Time and Pulmonary Complications in Thoracic Procedures
This project sees if longer single-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery increases postoperative lung complications in adults aged 18–85.

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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18–85 scheduled for thoracic surgery with planned one-lung ventilation and no prior thoracic surgery.
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.
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 performed: 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.
