The Effects of Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Its Combination with Intravenous Almitrine on PaO2 During One-Lung Ventilation in Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Procedures

Abstract: Decrease in oxygenation during one-lung ventilation is quite common. Our study showed that inhaled nitric oxide alone did not influence Pao2 evolution. We then tried adding intravenous almitrine to nitric oxide with amazingly good results on Pao2. This nonventilatory technique should be of great use during special thoracic acts, such as thoracoscopic procedures.

“…The calculation of sample size of the study, with two-tailed α error of 5 % and β error of 20 %, was done based on PaO 2 measured during OLV under propofol anaesthesia in a published study [123.7 (54.7) mmHg] (3). Based on this measurement, thirty patients per group were required to detect a difference of 39.7 mmHg in the lowest PaO2 between two groups.…”

“…Accepted for publication: April 12, 2005 Peroperative hypoxaemia frequently occurs during one-lung ventilation (OLV), [1][2][3][4] even in patients with healthy lungs. [5][6][7] Mechanisms involved in OLV-related hypoxaemia (OLV-RH) include the persistence of perfusion in the non-dependent non-ventilated lung 8 and ventilation to perfusion mismatch in the ventilated lung. 9 Indeed, the dependent lung is prone to collapse during expiration, with consequent worsening in ventilation to perfusion mismatching.…”

“…75 As NO distributes directly into the alveoli, it is a selective microvasodilator only of those capillaries adjacent to ventilated alveoli, and therefore improve V/Q matching. 78,79 These results may be important for patients with a marginal respiratory reserve who are unable to maintain oxygenation on OLV. There was no beneficial effect of NO in the absence of hypoxemia, pulmonary vasoconstriction, and elevated pulmonary pressure during OLV.…”
