NCT06848751
Some patients with impaired lung function require minimally invasive surgical treatment, including those with lung cancer, benign lung tumors, pneumothorax, or lung volume reduction surgery. Patients with borderline lung function often cannot be extubated immediately postoperatively under conventional treatment models. These patients typically need to be transferred to the surgical ICU for close monitoring. However, positive-pressure mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal tube carries risks of further airway injury and persistent air leakage from the lung surface, leading to a high incidence of postoperative respiratory failure. Non-intubated minimally invasive surgery (tubeless), which preserves spontaneous breathing without endotracheal intubation, avoids the physical stimulation of intubation and the airway damage caused by mechanical ventilation. This approach may reduce the incidence of postoperative airway injury and respiratory failure, potentially expanding the indications for minimally invasive lung surgery, lowering postoperative complication and mortality rates. The aim is to further clarify the surgical indications for non-intubated single-port minimally invasive surgery in patients with impaired lung function, the decision-making criteria for postoperative ICU transfer, and the safety and feasibility of this comprehensive management approach.
NCT05246930
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted in subjects with vocal cord disorders and whether these measurements are different when compared to subjects with asthma.
NCT06407986
To evaluate the demographic characteristics of normal one-second rates population in patients with pulmonary function tests recommended by outpatient physicians. To investigate whether EIT can identify spatial and temporal heterogeneity of lung ventilation in individuals with normal one-second rates during pulmonary function testing. To investigate the distribution patterns of lung ventilation in individuals with normal one-second rates using this technique, and provide references and evidence for early screening, diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and prognostic evaluation.
NCT05339048
Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are the first and third cause of death, respectively. Cardiovascular risk is known to increase in groups with impaired lung function; however, the mechanisms behind this association are not fully understood. The aim of CaReS is to elucidate the shared pathophysiology of impaired lung function and cardiovascular risk, and to investigate the risk factors associated with them. The CaReS Cohort Study includes adults (18-80 years old) from Cartagena de Indias, a tropical city on Colombian Caribbean Coast, where recent population admixture settled a three-hybrid genetic structure (European, African and Ameridian ancestry). At baseline, the cohort will generate extensive data on -omics (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics), socio-economic wellbeing, lifestyle, medical history, cardiometabolic, inflammatory and liver function markers, as well as objective measures of ventilatory and cardiovascular performance. The cohort will collect data every three years, for a total period of ten years. Prospective risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will be investigated, and their risk factors. Throughout the study period, changes in prevalence, and interactions of various risk factors with these changes will also be ascertained. A predictive risk score for cardiovascular and chronic respiratory disability will be built, using cross-sectional and longitudinal data.

Roflumilast compare with placebo for decrease infected exacerbation in non-cystic Bronchiectasis
NCT03471884
A novel nonintubated thoracoscopic technique is promising to enhance recovery after thoracic surgery. However, the effects of nonintubated technique on specific organ protection in not clear yet. In this randomized trial, the effect of nonintubated technique on lung function protection will be evaluated via PaO2/FiO2 ratio, oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines serially in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.
NCT03054675
Aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the correlation between postoperative spirometry values and pulmonary complications after anatomic lung resections. In addition, the investigators compared postoperative pulmonary function changes between open and minimally invasive approaches.
