Effect of single lung ventilation for pneumoresection on blood gas / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose:To study the effect of single lung ventilation for pneumoresection on blood gas. Methods:20 patients with lung cancer whose lung function were normal or reduced slightly before the operation were divided into 2 groups (A and B),of 10 cases each.The patients in group A underwent single lung ventilation with an endobronchial tube during the operation ,and two lung ventilation with an endotracheal in group B.Blood gas analysis was measured in every patient before, during and after the operation.Results:The values of blood gas analysis during the operation in all patients were normal and no significant difference was found between the two groups during the same time. Conclusions:The patients with lung cancer whose lung function were normal or reduced slightly before the operation can receive single lung ventilation safely for pneumoresection.[
