Trial summary

One-lung ventilation is commonly used during thoracic surgery but is frequently associated with impaired oxygenation and altered respiratory mechanics. Traditional oxygenation indices require arterial blood gas analysis and do not fully reflect the mechanical stress applied to the lungs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Oxygenation Indices (OI and Their Derivatives) and Oxygen Saturation Indices (OSI and Their Derivatives) During One-Lung Ventilation in Thoracic Surgery

One-lung ventilation is commonly used during thoracic surgery but is frequently associated with impaired oxygenation and altered respiratory mechanics. Traditional oxygenation indices require arterial blood gas analysis and do not fully reflect the mechanical stress applied to the lungs.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the correlation between oxygenation indices and oxygen saturation indices during one-lung ventilation in adult patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery. Modified indices incorporating driving pressure and mechanical power will also be assessed.

No intervention beyond standard clinical care will be applied. The findings of this study may help clarify the clinical utility of non-invasive oxygenation indices for intraoperative monitoring during one-lung ventilation.

Read the detailed description

One-lung ventilation induces complex changes in pulmonary physiology, including increased intrapulmonary shunt and altered respiratory mechanics, which may challenge conventional approaches to intraoperative oxygenation assessment. While invasive oxygenation indices are widely used, their applicability during one-lung ventilation is limited by the need for arterial blood gas sampling and the lack of integration of mechanical ventilation-related stress.

Non-invasive oxygen saturation-based indices have been proposed as alternatives; however, data regarding their performance under the dynamic physiological conditions of one-lung ventilation remain scarce. Furthermore, emerging concepts in lung-protective ventilation emphasize the importance of driving pressure and mechanical power as determinants of ventilator-induced lung injury, yet these parameters are not incorporated into traditional oxygenation metrics.

In this prospective observational study, invasive and non-invasive oxygenation indices, including modified forms incorporating driving pressure and mechanical power, will be recorded simultaneously during one-lung ventilation in adult patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery. The relationships and agreement between these indices will be analyzed to assess their comparability across different levels of mechanical respiratory load.

No intervention beyond standard clinical care will be applied. Ventilatory settings and perioperative management will be determined solely by routine clinical practice. This study is designed to provide methodological insight into the intraoperative applicability of non-invasive oxygenation indices during one-lung ventilation.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between oxygenation indices and oxygen saturation indices (time frame: During intraoperative one-lung ventilation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07381517, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2026.
