Application of dexmedetomidine for lung injury in elderly patients undergoing one-lung ventilation
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on lung injury, the oxygenation index and perioperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients who underwent thoracotomy with one-lung ventilation (OLV).

Background: Hypoxemia is common during one-lung ventilation(OLV), predominantly due to transpulmonary shunt. None of the strategies tried showed consistent results. We evaluated the effectiveness of ventilating the operated, non-dependent lung (NDL) with

The effects on arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation and on shunt of increasing cardiac output with dopamine or dobutamine during one-lung ventilation [PDF]
Publisher's copy made available with the permission of the publisher © Australian Society of AnaesthetistsTheoretically, if the cardiac output were increased in the presence of a given intrapulmonary shunt, the arterial saturation should improve as the ...

High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Both high tidal volume (VT) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung injury in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage.

A comparative study of two lung ventilation versus one lung ventilation for video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in semiprone position (airway management for thoracoscopic esophagectomy) [PDF]
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy is a complex procedure used for the treatment of esophageal cancer in which One Lung Ventilation (OLV) anesthesia is often used with several disadvantages associated mainly with respiratory system.

From state-of-the-art ventilation to closed loop ventilation
Recent emphasis on energy load delivered during each ventilatory breath has opened a new insight to reduce harmful ventilatory induced lung injury, but no robust clinical evidence of patient benefit produced yet. Closed loop ventilation is a strategy to

Mechanical power and Power Compliance Index in independent lung ventilation. New insight
Background Unilateral lung disease (ULD) requiring mechanical ventilation is a unique challenge due to individual and interactive lung mechanics. The distribution of volume and pressure may not be even due to inequities in compliance and resistance ...
