Abstract
Unilateral flooding of the lung after intubation with a double-lumen tube m akes intraoperative sonography of the lung during video-assisted thoracosco pic surgery possible. After flooding with 15 ml/kg, the arterial partial ox ygen pressure (with FiO(2)=1.0) is higher than that in total atelectasis by about 100 mmHg, while it is only slightly less than that during bilateral lung ventilation. Compared to total atelectasis, lung flooding reduces the pulmonary right-to-left shunt volume. The pulmonary function normalizes wit hin 8 h after the operation.
