Background An understanding of the impact of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on the
outcomes of patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery remains …

Background Hypoxemia and fluctuations in respiratory mechanics parameters are common
during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in thoracic surgery. Additionally, the incidence of …

Background We previously demonstrated that flurbiprofen increased arterial oxygen partial
pressure and reduced intrapulmonary shunts. The present study aims to investigate whether …

Background: Both hypoxia exposure and physical exercise before ascending have been
proved to promote high altitude acclimatization, whether the combination of these two …

Background Our goal is to investigate the use of the oxygen reserve index (ORi) to detect
hypoxemia and its relation with parameters such as; peripheral oxygen saturation, perfusion …

Study objective Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), the predominant
complications following lung surgery, are closely associated with intraoperative fluid …

Purpose Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a common surgical procedure for
the treatment of prostate cancer. Although beneficial, it can lead to intraoperative hypoxia …

BACKGROUND: One-lung ventilation (OLV) is frequently applied during video-assisted
thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) airway management to collapse and isolate the …

Background Arterial oxygenation is often impaired during one-lung ventilation (OLV), due to
both pulmonary shunt and atelectasis. Lower fraction of inspiration O2 (FiO2) may reduce …

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in
combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive …
