The effects of incremental continuous positive airway pressure on arterial oxygenation and pulmonary shunt during one-lung ventilation

BackgroundAlthough one lung ventilation (OLV) is frequently used for facilitating thoracic surgical procedures, arterial hypoxemia can occur while using one lung anesthesia. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in 5 or 10 cmH2O to the non-ventilating lung is commonly recommended to prevent hyp...
