Summary

With the increasing acceptance of routine computed tomography (CT) screenings, early-stage lung cancer detection is becoming more frequent. For ground glass opacity predominant early-stage lung cancer, segmentectomy can get the same oncological benefits as lobectomy. In addition, lung nodules that are highly suspected to be metastases can also be performed by segmentectomy to preserve more lung function. During the surgery, the rapid and precise identification of the intersegmental plane is one of the challenges. The improved inflation-deflation method is currently the most widely used method in clinical practice. According to the dispersion coefficient of the gas, the rapid diffusion properties of carbon dioxide would be expected to speed lung collapse and so facilitate surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of carbon dioxide on the appearance time of satisfactory and ideal planes during segmentectomy.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

100% oxygen

During one-lung ventilation with an open chest, the non-ventilated lung collapses initially due to the inherent elastic recoil properties of the lung. Once passive venting has ceased, further collapse will then be wholly dependent on ongoing gaseous uptake and absorption atelectasis. Improved inflation-deflation method is currently the most widely used method in clinical practice. After dividing all the targeted vascular and bronchial structures, the lung of the operating side was re-inflated with 100% oxygen. After the operative lungs is completely expanded, perform pure oxygen mechanical single lung ventilation for the healthy lung, waiting for clear presentation of the plane between the targeted segment and the other segments.

PROCEDURE

Carbon dioxide

During one-lung ventilation with an open chest, the non-ventilated lung collapses initially due to the inherent elastic recoil properties of the lung. Once passive venting has ceased, further collapse will then be wholly dependent on ongoing gaseous uptake and absorption atelectasis. The solubility coefficient for carbon dioxide is 0.57. The rapid diffusion properties of carbon dioxide would be expected to speed lung collapse and so facilitate surgery. After the targeted segment structures were successfully dissected, the collapsed intraoperative lung was completely re-expanded with carbon dioxide. After the operative lungs is completely expanded, perform pure oxygen mechanical single lung ventilation for the healthy lung, waiting for clear presentation of the plane between the targeted segment and the other segments.
