Effects of Recruitment Maneuvers on Lung Collapse Dynamics in Thoracic Surgery

A randomized controlled trial of 60 adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) evaluated the impact of immediate post-intubation recruitment maneuvers. Results show the maneuver group had a significantly shorter time to complete lung collapse (14.4 minutes vs. 16.9 minutes) and higher early collapse quality scores. The dataset, authored by Jie Zhu and last updated in May 2026, contains the trial results supporting this clinical finding.

Use Cases

• Comparing time to lung collapse between intervention and control groups based on the reported mean times and standard deviations.
• Analyzing the relationship between early recruitment maneuvers and surgeon-rated satisfaction scores mentioned in the results.
• Modeling the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications based on the 7-day follow-up data collected.
• Correlating Campos lung collapse quality scores with arterial blood gas measurements taken during one-lung ventilation.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial (ChiCTR2300075148), a strong study design for causal inference.
• Includes specific, reported quantitative results such as time to collapse (14.4 ± 3.3 min vs. 16.9 ± 3.7 min) and p-values (p=0.008).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 32.0 KB, suggesting it contains summary results rather than individual patient-level data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the description after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for machine learning tasks.
