Objectives This study aimed to present a review on the general effects of different positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels during thoracic surgery by qualitatively categorizing the effects into detrimental, beneficial, and inconclusive.

Effect of external PEEP in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation with an auto-PEEP of 5 cmH2O or higher. [PDF]
In some patients with auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), application of PEEP lower than auto-PEEP maintains a constant total PEEP, therefore reducing the inspiratory threshold load without detrimental cardiovascular or respiratory effects.

Intraoperative hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation: Is it still an anesthesiologists' nightmare? (hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation) [PDF]
Lung isolation is used for various surgical and non-surgi-cal reasons. This type of ventilation carries the risk for va-rious degrees of ventilation/perfusion mismatch associa-ted with lateral decubitus position, one-lung ventilation (OLV) and opened ...

Management of traumatic pneumothorax with massive air leakage: role of a bronchial blocker: a case report [PDF]
Massive air leakage through a lacerated lung produces inadequate ventilation and hypoxemia. Tube exchange from a single to double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), and lung separation to maintain oxygenation, are challenging for seriously injured patients ...

The use of lung ultrasonography to confirm lung isolation in an infant who underwent emergent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a case report [PDF]
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pediatric patients has gained popularity due to better outcomes than open surgery. For this procedure, one-lung ventilation may be necessary to provide an adequate surgical field.

HIF1A reduces acute lung injury by optimizing carbohydrate metabolism in the alveolar epithelium [PDF]
Background: While acute lung injury (ALI) contributes significantly to critical illness, it resolves spontaneously in many instances. The majority of patients experiencing ALI require mechanical ventilation.
