Background: Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction has an important role in human one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the lateral decubitus position under general anesthesia. During OLV, inhalational anesthesia may inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and the decrease in arterial oxygenation. We studied the effect of isoflurane administration on arterial oxygen tension in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
Methods: Ten patients who had thoracoscopic laser ablation of bullous emphysema were studied. Patients received 2% isoflurane in oxygen from induction until the first 20 min of OLV in the lateral decubitus position, then were switched to 1% isoflurane lasting 20 min and next were switched to 0.5% isoflurane lasting 20 min. After each 20-min inhalation, pulmonary and hemodynamic parameters were measured. The given concentrations for isoflurane were merely vapor meter concentrations.
Results: PaO2/FIO2, Qs/Qt respiratory rate peak inspiratory pressure and PaCO2 showed no significant changes at each point of isoflurane. Expiratory tidal volume significantly decreased (P < 0.05) with 0.5% isoflurane compared to that with 2% isoflurane. Cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary vascular resistance showed no significant changes at each point of isoflurane.
Conclusions: In patients with pulmonary emphysema, arterial oxygenation is not affected by low isoflurane concentration during OLV in the lateral decubitus position.

One-lung ventilation is commonly used in lateral open chest surgery; however, it can increase pulmonary vascular resistance, which negatively affects Fontan circulation. Nevertheless, one-lung ventilation has a positive indication in post-Fontan patients. It allows surgery with lateral minimally invasive thoracotomy, which does not require a median sternotomy.

Background: Hypoxemia occurs with relative frequency during one-lung ventilation (OLV) despite advances in airway management. Lung perfusion scans are thought to be one of the most accurate methods to predict hypoxemia during OLV, but their complexity and costs are well-known limitations. There is a lack of preoperative stratification models to estimate the risk of intraoperative hypoxemia among patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Background: Left bundle branch block (LBBB) causes left atrial (LA) dyssynchrony. It is unknown if LA dyssynchrony impacts long-term prognosis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine mechanisms of LA dyssynchrony in LBBB and if LA dyssynchrony impacts long-term prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to evaluate the impact of thoracic epidural blockade (TEB) combined with general anesthesia on lung function during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
- Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either a control group or a TEB group, where EIT measurements and blood gas analysis were performed to assess pulmonary perfusion distribution and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) matching at different stages of the procedure.
- Results indicated that TEB significantly decreased mean arterial pressure and worsened arterial oxygen levels and shunt percentages during OLV, suggesting it adversely affected respiratory function in these patients.

Background: Minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques require effective lung isolation using one-lung ventilation (OLV). Verification of lung isolation may be confirmed by auscultation, visual confirmation using fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), or more recently, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). The aim of this study was to prospectively compare lung ultrasound with clinical auscultation to confirm OLV before thoracic surgery in pediatric patients.
