Comparison of the effect of sevoflurane and propofol on oxygenation during gradual transition to one-lung ventilation

Background: It is known that hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction increases as a result of intermittent regional hypoxic challenges. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on oxygenation and shunt fraction during one-lung ventilation in a novel model of hypoxic pr...
