About this study

Patients who agree to receive pneumonectomy will be arranged to measure the distance from the incisors to the corresponding anatomical landmarks, including the cardia, the inferior pulmonary vein, the carina, the azygos vein, the lower edge of the aortic arch, the upper edge of the aortic arch, and the cupula of pleura through " fiber measurement method within nasogastric tube " . After building regression equations with the above data, the distance from the incisors to these corresponding anatomical landmarks could be inferred by means of indexes including height and so on.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the distance from the incisors to the corresponding anatomical landmarks

    The distance from the thoracic anatomical landmarks (the lower edge of the cardia, the inferior pulmonary vein, the condyle, the lower edge of the azygous vein, the lower edge of the aortic arch, the upper edge of the aortic arch, and the pleural apex) to the incisors.

    Measured: 1 hour

What does the primary outcome measure?

the distance from the incisors to the corresponding anatomical landmarks (time frame: 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03720405, which also lists 11 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
