An interventional study of AirGoTM system in Respiratory Monitoring, Thoracic Surgery and Lung Resection Surgery, sponsored by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia. Recruiting at 1 site in Italy. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-24.

Patients undergoing lung resection surgery may experience changes in respiratory function during the perioperative period. Current monitoring methods provide important clinical information but are often limited to specific time points and may not allow continuous assessment of ventilation. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of the AirGo™ wearable respiratory monitoring system in patients undergoing anatomical lung resection (lobectomy or segmentectomy). AirGo™ is a non-invasive, CE-marked device that continuously measures respiratory parameters, including minute ventilation and respiratory rate, through a chest-worn sensor. Participants will wear the AirGo™ device before surgery and during the postoperative period. Respiratory parameters collected by AirGo™ will be analyzed at predefined time points and compared with standard clinical monitoring methods routinely used in postoperative care, including pulse oximetry and telemetry. The primary objective is to assess changes in mean minute ventilation from the preoperative period to the first postoperative day. Secondary objectives include evaluating perioperative respiratory trends, patient comfort and compliance with the device, and the agreement between AirGo™ measurements and standard monitoring systems. The results of this study may help determine whether continuous non-invasive respiratory monitoring can improve the assessment and management of patients undergoing lung surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Participants undergoing minimally invasive anatomical lung resection (VATS, lobectomy or segmentectomy) will undergo perioperative respiratory monitoring using the AirGo™ device in addition to standard clinical care. Respiratory parameters, including minute ventilation and respiratory rate, will be assessed at predefined timepoints before and after surgery.
Device: AirGoTM system
AirGo™ is a non-invasive wireless wearable respiratory monitoring system used for continuous measurement of respiratory parameters, including minute ventilation and respiratory rate, during the perioperative period.
Change in Mean Minute Ventilation
Difference in mean minute ventilation (L/min), measured by the AirGo™ system during a 60-minute resting recording, between the preoperative assessment and the first postoperative day.
Time frame: From preoperative baseline to the first postoperative day
Change in Mean Minute Ventilation Over Perioperative Timepoints
Change in mean minute ventilation (L/min) measured by the AirGo™ system at preoperative baseline, first postoperative day, second postoperative day, and one month after surgery
Time frame: Preoperative baseline, first postoperative day, second postoperative day, and one month after intervention
Change in Mean Resting Respiratory Rate
Change in mean resting respiratory rate (breaths/min) measured by continuous AirGo™ monitoring at preoperative baseline, first postoperative day, second postoperative day, and one month after surgery.
Time frame: Preoperative baseline, first postoperative day, second postoperative day, and one month after intervention
Patient-Reported Comfort With AirGo™ Monitoring
Patient-reported comfort during AirGo™ monitoring assessed using a standardized Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time frame: During the postoperative period
Agreement Between AirGo™ and Standard Postoperative Monitoring for Respiratory Rate
Agreement between respiratory rate measured by the AirGo™ system and respiratory rate obtained from standard postoperative monitoring, including pulse oximetry and telemetry, during overlapping observation periods.
Time frame: During the postoperative monitoring period on postoperative days 1 and 2
AirGo™ Device-Related Adverse Events
Number of participants experiencing device-related adverse events, including skin irritation, discomfort, interference with surgical wounds, and premature discontinuation of monitoring.
Time frame: From device application through 1 month after intervention
