The utility of gradient of end-tidal carbon dioxide between two lungs in lateral decubitus position in predicting a drop in oxygenation during one-lung ventilation in elective thoracic surgery- A prospective observational study
Background and Aims: Baseline difference in the perfusion of two lungs is the cause of intra-operative shunt during one-lung ventilation (OLV). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the gradient of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) between two lungs in lateral position (D-EtCO2lateral) would p...
