Preemptive one lung ventilation enhances lung collapse during thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Thoracic Cancer, 2019 In routine practice, one lung ventilation (OLV) is initiated upon pleural opening. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare lung collapse after preemptive OLV versus conventional OLV in thoracoscopic surgery.

Preconditioning lung collapse: effects of early recruitment maneuvers on lung deflation dynamics during one-lung ventilation [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundRapid and adequate lung collapse is essential for optimal surgical exposure during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Although recruitment maneuvers (RMs) are widely used to improve alveolar aeration, whether their application ...

A case of unilateral lung collapse [PDF]
The Pan African Medical Journal, 2023 A 10-month-old infant was brought to our emergency department with complaints of acute respiratory distress for the past half an hour with no significant family, birth, or history. On examination, pulse rate (PR) was 130 beats/min, saturation 75% on room air, respiratory rate (RR) of 32 breaths/min, blood pressure of 100/70mmhg, and on auscultation ...

Rapid progression from croup to complete lung collapse: a case report of central airway obstruction by mucopurulent cast in influenza A (H3N2) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa coinfection in a toddler [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsCroup is a common presentation in pediatric emergency settings, most often caused by viral infections. However, when influenza A virus co-occurs with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, it can lead to rare and lethal complications. We report a case of a 13-

Targeted lateral positioning decreases lung collapse and overdistension in COVID-19-associated ARDS [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021 Background Among the challenges for personalizing the management of mechanically ventilated patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are the effects of different positive end-expiratory pressure ...

Expanding unilateral lung collapse using airway pressure release ventilation applied independently to the collapsed lung through the double-lumen endotracheal tube [PDF]
Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2022 Unilateral lung collapse (ULC) is a clinical challenge in the intensive care unit and requires sophisticated treatment approaches, especially if the collapse continued over several hours.

The fraction of nitrous oxide in oxygen for facilitating lung collapse during one-lung ventilation with double lumen tube [PDF]
BMC Anesthesiology, 2020 Background The ideal fraction of nitrous oxide (N2O) in oxygen (O2) for rapid lung collapse remains unclear. Accordingly, this prospective trial aimed to determine the 50% effective concentration (EC50) and 95% effective concentration (EC95) of N2O in O2

Complete lung collapse as a rare complication of sarcoidosis‐associated mediastinal lymphadenopathy [PDF]
Respirology Case Reports, 2021 Key message Complete lung collapse associated with sarcoidosis is exceedingly rare. Although lymphoma should be ruled out when patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy develop lung collapse, sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential ...

Effects of the disconnection technique and preemptive one-lung ventilation on lung collapse during one-lung ventilation in thoracoscopic surgery [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground During thoracoscopic surgery with one-lung ventilation (OLV), achieving lung collapse is critical for providing surgeons with a good visibility of the surgical field and to minimise tissue compression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
