A2 - Grichnik, Katherine Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Thoracic Anesthesia AB - Optimal operating conditions for many cardiothoracic procedures require collapse of one lung, producing a challenge for the anesthesiologist who must maintain arterial PO2, PCO2, and hemodynamics within tolerable levels while ventilating the single remaining lung. One-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery is usually performed while the patient is in the lateral decubitus position, with the nondependent lung collapsed. For other types of procedures, for example whole lung lavage, the patient may be in the supine position and the nonventilated lung remains inflated with saline resulting in different physiologic consequences. Therefore, a thorough understanding of pulmonary physiology will help facilitate the delivery of anesthesia for procedures requiring OLV.
