Extraluminal Placement of a Bronchial Blocker Compared with Carbon Dioxide Artificial Pneumothorax in Infants Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
Abstract:Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of extraluminal placement of a bronchial blocker compared with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) artificial pneumothorax in infants undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Methods: The study involved 33 infants (group A) who underwent one-lung ventilation (OLV) with extraluminal placement of a bronchial blocker and 35 other infants (group B) who underwent CO 2 artificial pneumothorax. Clinical characteristics, the degree of lung collapse, and complica… Show more
