Abstract

For patients requiring mechanical ventilation during surgery, anesthesia practitioners generally choose between one of two approaches, lung-protective ventilation (LPV) or traditional individual parameter manipulation. The advantages of LPV are well documented and often recommended for routine two-lung mechanical ventilation, especially for patients with significant pulmonary comorbidities. However, during one-lung ventilation (OLV), oxygenation and ventilation are often compromised. As a result, some practitioners abandon LPV strategies in favor of non-protective individual parameter manipulation believed to be superior at optimizing oxygenation and ventilation.
