Comparison of the efficacy of high-flow oxygen insufflations and continuous positive airway pressure during one-lung ventilation undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Abstract:Isolation of one-lung leads to ventilation-perfusion mismatch and increases intrapulmonary shunt, which in some cases may lead to clinically significant hypoxemia.The objective was to compare the efficacy of hypoxemia correction and the convenience of surgical work during one-lung ventilation with the use of high-flow oxygen insufflation (HFI) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the non-ventilated lung during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).Materials and methods. The study included 60… Show more
