[Improvement of oxygenation in thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation using a new intraoperative CPAP device].
For thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation, the use of CPAP for the non-ventilated lung can improve oxygenation. We studied the use of a newly developed CPAP device in 28 patients undergoing single-lung ventilation. This device was easy to use, in particular because the components are familiar to every anesthesiologist. The use of +5 mbar CPAP improved oxygenation by an average of 39.5 mm Hg; +10 mbar CPAP brought about an improvement of 89 mm Hg. Pulse oximetry proved useful in monitoring adequate oxygenation.
