ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of helping patients breathe during certain heart surgeries where only one lung needs to be used. The researchers want to see how well a double-lumen tube (a special breathing tube) compares to a bronchial blocker (a device that helps collapse one lung) in terms of how well patients’ lungs function after the surgery. They are also looking at how long each method takes, how effectively each method collapses the lung, and how many times the doctors need to adjust the devices during the procedure.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be at least 18 years old and scheduled for a specific type of heart surgery that requires one-lung ventilation. They should also be in relatively good health, with a body mass index (BMI) under 40 and not have serious organ failures or advanced lung diseases. If you decide to join the study, you will receive either the double-lumen tube or the bronchial blocker during your surgery, and the medical team will monitor your recovery to gather important information about your lung function afterwards. Your participation will help improve care for future patients undergoing similar surgeries.
