Ultrasonic Energy for Pulmonary Artery Branch Sealing During VATS Lobectomy No Locations

This research program consists of a prospective, multi-institutional Phase 2 trial and an economic cost-effectiveness analysis for the use of ACE+7 in VATS lobectomy/segmentectomy compared to traditional techniques. It will be left up to the study credentialed surgeon investigator to decide the suitability of PA branches for sealing. This will be decided intra-operatively based on anatomy, vascular dissection and length as well as patient specific factors.
A Study of the Presence of Viral Pathogens in Culture-Negative, Non-Specific Pleuritis Rochester, MN

The purpose of this study is to find the presence of virus pathogens in the pleural fluid of patients diagnosed with culture-negative, non-specific pleuritis using the FilmArray Respiratory Panel lab test.
A Study to Evaluate Protective Ventilation with High versus Low PEEP During One-lung Ventilation for Thoracic Surgery Jacksonville, FL

The purpose of this study is to compare a strategy using high PEEP (10 cmH2O) with recruitment maneuvers versus low PEEP (5 cmH2O) without recruitment maneuvers, during thoracic surgery under standardized one lung ventilation with low VT (5 mL/kg predicted body weight – PBW) in adults.
