  • Title: Physiological changes associated with unilateral pulmonary ventilation during operations on the lung.
    Author: Bachand R, Audet J, Meloche R, Denis R.
    Journal: Can Anaesth Soc J; 1975 Nov; 22(6):659-64. PubMed ID: 1059495.
    Abstract:
    No important changes in the respiratory parameters were observed during one-lung anaesthesia. However, this kind of thoracic intervention can be accompanied by a dramatic fall in arterial oxygen tension. Methods to avoid tissue hypoxia have been described. In our series no complications whatever occurred in the operative and post-operative periods which could be related to the oxygenation of the patient.
