flow–controlled ventilation in thoracic surgery – improving intraoperative ventilation and outcomes
these international multicenter randomized clinical trials will compare flow–controlled ventilation with conventional ventilation in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery
STUDIES of the THORACic Series
In an international multicenter randomized clinical pilot trial, intraoperative FCV will be compared with conventional ventilation in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery.
This pilot trial is designed to test the feasibility of FCV, and to inform the design of the PROFLOW-THORACic main trial.
