Summary

Intraoperative protective ventilation with low tidal volumes (TV), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and possibly lung recruitment maneuvers (RMs) reduces postoperative pulmonary complications. In thoracic surgery, in one-lung ventilation (OLV), the evidence is lacking. However, in this context protective ventilation with PEEP titration is related to better intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory mechanics. It is not clear whether this strategy is associated also with better postoperative oxygenation and less postoperative pulmonary complications.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • One-lung Ventilation
  • Respiratory Mechanics
  • Artificial Respiration

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Best PEEP

In OLV, the investigator will perform a PEEP decremental titration trial, decreasing PEEP from 16 to 4 cmH2O (steps of 2-cmH2O, lasting 1 minute). At the end of every step driving pressure (Pplat-PEEP) will be calculated, and the PEEP corresponding to the lowest driving pressure + 2cmH2O will be set.

PROCEDURE

Standard PEEP

In OLV, a PEEP of 5 cm H2O will be set.
