Effectiveness of Ventilation of Nondependent Lung for a Brief Period in Improving Arterial Oxygenation during One-lung Ventilation: A Prospective Study

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 small tidal volumes in improving the oxygenat...
