About this trial
This study investigates the effect of apneic oxygenation of the non-ventilated lung on local and systemic inflammatory response during lung cancer surgery.
Patients undergoing surgical resection of lung cancer often require one-lung ventilation during anaesthesia. This results in alveolar hypoxia accompanied by upregulated expression of inflammatory markers. Apneic oxygenation of the non-ventiladed lung may influence inflammatory processes and oxygenation during surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether apneic oxygenation affects inflammatory markers in lung tissue and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. The study is conducted at a single center and includes adult patients scheduled for elective lung cancer surgery. Data will be collected durig the perioperative period. The results of this study may contribute to improved anaesthetic management and patient outcomes during thoracic surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial
Apnoeic Oxygenation
Procedure/SurgeryApneic oxygenation of the non-ventilated lung is applied during lung cancer surgery to maintain oxygenation and decrease inflammatory response while the lung is not mechanically ventilated.
Standard Ventilation
Procedure/SurgeryStandard ventilation is applied during lung cancer surgery according to routine clinical practice.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Expression of HIF -1α in lung tissue
Expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF 1α ) in lung tissue will be assessed to evaluate tissue hypoxia in patients receiving apneic oxygenation of the non-ventilated lung compared with those receiving standard ventilation during lung cancer surgery.
Expression of IL-6 in lung tissue
Expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in lung tissue will be assessed to evaluate the local inflammatory response in patients receiving apneic oxygenation of the non-ventilated lung compared with those receiving standard ventilation during lung cancer surgery.
Secondary outcomes
Changes in leukocyte count
Changes in peripheral blood leukocyte count from preoperative baseline will be measured to assess systemic inflammatory response associated with apneic oxygenation compared with standard ventilation.
Changes in neutrophile count
Changes in peripheral blood neutrophil count from preoperative baseline will be measured to asses systemic inflammatory response associated with apneic oxygenation compared with standard ventilation.
Changes in arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)
Changes in arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) from preoperative baseline will be measured to assess respiratory effects associated with apneic oxygenation compared with standard ventilation.
Changes in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2)
Changes in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) will be measured to assess respiratory effects associated with apneic oxygenation compared with standard ventilation.
