A Randomized Controlled Trial of 3D Airway Reconstruction for Precise Double-Lumen Bronchial Intubation

174 participantsStarted 2026-07

Plain-language summary

This is a very safe and beneficial clinical study. We hope to obtain near-real airway anatomical parameters of patients before surgery through airway three-dimensional reconstruction technology, to assist anesthesiologists in matching the most suitable double-lumen bronchial tube size for each patient, thereby reducing the rate of intubation failure and the occurrence of perioperative adverse events to a certain extent.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * ①Aged 18-75 years, undergoing elective VATS thoracic surgery, with DLT during the procedure; ②ASA physical status I-III; ③ Preoperative chest CT data available for 3D reconstruction; ④ Agree to participate in this study and voluntarily sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * ① Preoperative presence of severe respiratory diseases, such as severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary infection, and asthma exacerbation; ② Clinically assessed as a difficult airway, such as limited head tilt, spinal deformity, airway or head and neck masses, significant abnormalities in airway anatomy, etc.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
