Article Abstract
Purpose: The main problem of one-lung ventilation (OLV) is hypoxemia. The use of a high tidal volume for preventing hypoxemia during OLV is controversial. We compared the effects of a high tidal volume versus a low tidal volume with or without PEEP on arterial oxygen tension (PaO(2)) and pulmonary mechanics during OLV.
Methods: Sixty patients (age range, 16-65 years; ASA I, II) who underwent wedge resection with video-assisted thoracostomy during OLV were assigned to three groups: group I received a high tidal volume (10 ml/kg) (n = 20), group II received a low tidal volume (6 ml/kg) (n = 20), and group III received a low tidal volume (6 ml/kg) with PEEP (5 cmH(2)O) (n = 20). Patient hemodynamics, pulmonary mechanics, and arterial blood gases were measured before (T(0)) OLV and 5 (T(1)), 15 (T(2)), 30 (T(3)), and 45 min (T(4)) after OLV.
Results: The PaO(2)/FiO(2) ratios of group II and III were significantly decreased and the incidence of hypoxemia was significantly higher in groups II and III than in group I (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: During OLV, mechanical ventilation with a low tidal volume with or without PEEP increased hypoxemia as compared to that when performing OLV with a high tidal volume.

The rate of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is ~1 per 1000 patients each year. Terminal events reportedly involve repeated and prolonged apnea, suggesting a failure to autoresuscitate. To better understand the mechanisms and identify novel therapeutics, standardized tests to screen for autoresuscitation efficacy are needed in preclinical SUDEP.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been thought to increase the risk of respiratory depression from opioids. The primary aim of this study was to assess whether preoperative hypoxaemia by sleep study pulse oximetry imparts greater opioid sensitivity.
Methods: A multicentre observational cohort study with in-cohort dose randomisation was performed in children 2-8 yr of age with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

Introduction: Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressures that exceed 20-30 cmHO may lead to iatrogenic adverse effects such as cough, sore throat, and tracheal edema or more serious complications including tracheal stenosis, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and tracheal rupture. The current study evaluates a novel technique, titration of the ratio of expiratory to inspiratory tidal volumes (TV), to regulate intracuff pressure.
Methods: This prospective, cross-over trial measured intracuff pressure in a cohort of pediatric patients presenting for general anesthesia with an ETT.

The differential Fick method is well established for measuring effective pulmonary blood flow (EPBF) and cardiac output (CO) but until now it has only been used for patients on mechanical ventilation. Here we present and evaluate a new approach adapted to spontaneous breathing situations. Ten healthy subjects with diverse anthropometric and respiratory parameters were studied in the sitting position.
