Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with high-risk profiles undergoing elective lung resection surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients undergoing emergency surgeries or those with specific exclusion criteria such as pleural or mediastinal resection surgery will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the use of chest bioreactance technology to monitor stroke volume and cardiac output in high-risk patients undergoing lung resection surgery. The study aims to implement individualized goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) based on real-time monitoring, contrasting it with standard care practices. By utilizing a non-invasive and continuous monitoring approach, the trial seeks to enhance perioperative management and outcomes for patients facing complex thoracic surgeries.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved fluid management and better surgical outcomes for high-risk lung surgery patients.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of chest bioreactance is a relatively novel approach in this context, other studies have shown promise in utilizing non-invasive monitoring techniques for fluid management.
