Clinical Trial Summary

Volume controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) are the common ventilatory modes during OLV undergoing thoracic surgery. A controversy regarding which ventilation mode is better for oxygenation during OLV with PCV enhances oxygenation more than VCV ;given its initial high peak inspiratory flow rates and its rapidly decelerating flow pattern. However, this high peak inspiratory flow rate might also provoke lung injury via shearing and traction forces on the alveoli. Extravascular lung water describes water within the lungs but outside pulmonary vasculature. Lung ultrasound (LUS) assessment of EVLW by B-lines provides a reliable and easy alternative.
