Nowadays, lung isolation techniques are an essential part of thoracic anesthesia. The two principal devices used in order to achieve one-lung ventilation (OLV) are the double lumen tube (DLT) and the bronchial blocker (BB). Even though DLT and BB have always been considered equally effective in lung isolation, a study recently published by Bussières et al. demonstrated the clear superiority of BB over DLT in terms of rapidity and quality of lung collapse. In order to explain this result, a physiologic study was recently conducted. During this project, some interesting discoveries were made. In fact, during lung isolation, while the chest is closed, there is a buildup of negative pressure in the NVL until pleural opening. Moreover, an absorption of ambient air through the lumen of the DLT or through the internal channel of the BB is observed. Putting all these elements together, a possible explanation for the superiority of BB over DLT was obtained. Indeed, in the first study of Bussières, the internal channel of BB was occluded. By doing so, there were no possible aspiration of ambient air in the NVL. This condition may have accelerated the absorption atelectasis of the NVL that occurs during lung collapse by reducing NVL volume and by conserving a higher alveolar partial pressure of oxygen in it. The hypothesis is that when using a DLT in OLV, occluding the non-ventilated lung (NVL) lumen will reproduce the BB physiology by accelerating the second phase of lung deflation and giving a better quality of lung collapse compared to usual practice of keeping the non-ventilated lung opened to ambient air. The main objective is to compare the speed and quality of complete lung deflation occurring during OLV with a DLT when the non-ventilated DLT lumen is occluded vs not occluded. This randomized study will include a total of 30 patients scheduled for lung resection using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Fifteen patients will compose the experimental group (NVL lumen occluded) and 15 other patients will be part of the control group (NVL lumen opened to ambient air).
During one-lung ventilation in thoracic surgery, the intensity of neuromuscular blockade may change the compliance and resistance of ventilated lung, thereby affecting postoperative atelectasis. The present study investigated the effect of the intensity of intraoperative neuromuscular blockade on the postoperative atelectasis using chest computerized tomography in patients receiving thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation.
The study contains the result from a comparison of diagnostic outcomes about lung collapse by using lung ultrasonography as a new diagnostic test compares to fiberoptic bronchoscopy as the standard test.
This study compares two ventilatory techniques (continuous positive airway pressure vs high frequency jet ventilation) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). All patients were ventilated with both ventilatory techniques and parameters of gas exchange were determined through arterial blood gas test.
To observe the effect of one-lung ventilation (OLV) preconditioning on perioperative oxygenation during thoracic surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find a proper ventilation strategy for one-lung ventilation to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications
It is controversial as to which ventilation mode is better in one-lung ventilation(OLV), volume controlled ventilation(VCV) or pressure controlled ventilation(PCV). This study was designed to figure out if there was any difference between these two modes on oxygenation and postoperative complications under the condition of protective ventilation(PV).
The purpose of this study is to find a novel method for placing endobronchial blockers without fiberoptic guidance to provide one-lung isolation during anesthesia for thoracic surgery.
One-lung ventilation (OLV) with resting of the contralateral lung may be required to allow or facilitate thoracic surgery. However, OLV can result in severe hypoxemia, requiring a mechanical ventilation approach that is able to maintain adequate gas exchange, while protecting the lungs against postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). During OLV, the use of lower tidal volumes is helpful to avoid over-distension, but can result in increased atelectasis and repetitive collapse-and-reopening of lung units, particularly at low levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Anesthesiologists inconsistently use PEEP and recruitment maneuvers (RM) in the hope that this may improve oxygenation and protect against PPC. Up to now, it is not known whether high levels of PEEP combined with RM are superior to lower PEEP without RM for protection against PPCs during OLV. Hypothesis: An intra-operative ventilation strategy using higher levels of PEEP and recruitment maneuvers, as compared to ventilation with lower levels of PEEP without recruitment maneuvers, prevents postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery under standardized one-lung ventilation.
