INTRODUCTION
-One-lung ventilation, OLV, means separation of
the two lungs and each lung functioning
independently by preparation of the airway
- It is the intentional collapse of a lung on the
operative side of the patient which facilitates most
thoracic procedures.
-Requires much skill of the anesthesia team
because of:
• Difficult to place lung isolation equipment
• Ability to overcome hypoxic pulmonary
vasoconstriction
• Patient population is comparably
• OLV provides:
• Protection of healthy lung from infected/bleeding one
• Diversion of ventilation from damaged airway or lung
• Improved exposure of surgical field
• OLV causes:
• More manipulation of airway, more damage
• Significant physiologic change and easily development of
hypoxemia
• Dependent Lung or Down Lung
- The lung that is ventilated
• Non-dependent Lung or Up Lung
- The lung that is collapsed to facilitate
the surgery
ABSOLUTE INDICATION FOR
OLV
•Isolation of one lung from the other
to avoid spillage or contamination
• Infection
• Massive hemorrhage
•Control of the distribution of
ventilation
• Bronchopleural / - cutaneous fistula
• Surgical opening of a major conducting airway
• giant unilateral lung cyst or bulla
• Tracheobronchial tree disruption
• Life-threatening hypoxemia due to unilateral lung disease
•Unilateral bronchopulmonary lavage
RELATIVE INDICATION
• Surgical exposure ( high priority)
• Thoracic aortic aneurysm
• Pneumonectomy
• Upper lobectomy
• Mediastinal exposure
• Thoracoscopy
• Surgical exposure (low priority)
• Middle and lower lobectomies and subsegmental resections
• Esophageal surgery
• Thoracic spine procedure

• Postcardiopulmonary bypass status after removal of
totally occluding chronic unilateral pulmonary emboli
• Severe hypoxemia due to unilateral lung disease
OLV is achieved by either:
-Bronchial blocker
• Type:
• Carlens, a left-sided + a carinal hook
• White, a right-sided Carlens tube
• Bryce-Smith, no hook but a slotted cuff/Rt
• Robertshaw, most widely used
• All have two lumina/cuffs

Major Malpositions of a Lt- DLT
DLT
Placement
* the chest rises and falls in accordance with the breath sounds
*respiratory gas moisture appears and disappears with each tidal ventilation
FOB picture of Lt - DLT
FOB picture of Rt DLT
Other Methods to Check DLT Position
* Chest radiograph ;
may be more useful than conventional auscultation and clamping in some
patients, but it is always less precise than FOB. The DLT must have
radiopaque markers at the end of Rt and Lt lumina.
*Comparison of capnography;
waveform and ETCO2 from each lumen may reveal a marked discrepancy
(different degree of ventilation).
* Surgeon ;
may be able to palpate, redirect or assist in changing DLT position from
within the chest (by deflecting the DLT away from the wrong lung, etc..).
Adequacy for Sealing (air Bubble test )
Complications of DLT
* small patients;
*extremely critically ill patients who have a single-lumen tube already in place and
who will not tolerate being taken off mechanical ventilation and PEEP even for a
short time;
3.No need to change the tube when turning from the supine to
prone position or for postoperative mechanical ventilation.
LIMITATION SOLUTION
1. Slow inflation time (a)Deflate BB cuff and administer +ve pressure breath
through the main single lumen;
(b)carefully administer one short high pressure (20–30
psi) jet ventilation
2. Slow deflation time (c) Deflate BB cuff and compress and evacuate the lung
through the main single lumen;
(b)apply suction to BB lumen
3.Blockage of BB Suction, stylet, and then
lumen suction
( blood, pus,..)
4. High-pressure Use just-seal volume of air
cuff Make sure BB cuff is subcarinal, increase inflation volume,
5. Leak in BB cuff rearrange surgical field

Catheters
Fogarty Embolectomy
Catheter
• Single-lumen balloon tipped catheter with a
removable stylet
• In the parallel fashion, the Fogarty catheter is
inserted prior to intubation
• In the co-axial fashion, the Fogarty catheter is
placed through the endotracheal tube
• Both techniques require fiberoptic bronchoscopy to
direct the Fogarty catheter into the correct pulmonary
segment
• sealing
Once the the airwayis in place, the balloon is inflated,
catheter
• Clinical limitations to the Fogarty technique
• Difficult to direct and cannot be coupled to a fiberoptic bronchoscope
• No accessory lumen for either removal of gas from the blocked segment
or insufflation of oxygen to reverse hypoxemia
• Ventilate w/ 100% O2 prior to balloon inflation to aid in gas removal
Cohen Flexitip Endobronchial Blocker
Independent
Single-Lumenof a
Tube
Adults
-Fogarty (embolectomy) catheter with a 3 ml balloon.
It includes a stylet so that it is possible to place a curvature at the distal tip to facilitate entry into the
larynx and either mainstem bronchus .
-balloon-tipped luminal catheters (such as Foley type) may be used as bronchial blockers.
* these catheters have to be positioned under direct vision; a FOB method is perfectly acceptable; the FOB outside
diameter must be approximately 2 mm to fit inside the endotracheal tube (3 mm internal diameter or greater).
Otherwise, the bronchial blocker must be situated with a rigid bronchoscope.
* Paediatric patients of intermediate size require intermediate size occlusion catheters and judgment on the mode of
placement (i.e., via rigid versus FOB).
Lung separation with a single-lumen tube, FOB, and Rt
lung bronchial blocker
Single-Lumen Tubes
* In adults, is often the easiest, quickest way for lung separation in patients
presenting with haemoptysis , either
-blind, or
-FOB , or
-guidance by surgeon from within chest
Disadvantages
-inability to do suctioning or ventilation of operative side.
-difficult positioning bronchial cuff with inadequate ventilation of
Rt upper lobe after Rt endobronchial intubation.
Complications of One Lung
Ventilation
• All difficult airway complications
• Injury to lips, mouth, teeth
• Injury to airway mucosa from
stylet
• Bronchial Rupture
• Decreased saturation
• HPV
• Inability to isolate lung
Complications - Bronchial
Rupture
Comparing Up Right & Lateral
Decubitus Position
05/21/15
• Distribution of blood flow and ventilation is similar to that in the
upright position but turned by 90 degrees.
• Blood flow and ventilation to the dependent lung are significantly
greater than to the nondependent lung.
• Good V/Q matching at the level of the dependent lung results in
adequate oxygenation in the awake patient breathing
spontaneously.

2) Ldp/ awake/ Spont Breath/ open Chest
2 complications
1. Mediastinal shift, occurring during inspiration.
Negative pressure more in intact hemithorax
cause the mediastinum to move vertically
downward and push into the dependent
hemithorax.
• create circulatory & reflex changes, result in a clinical
picture similar to that of shock and respiratory distress.
• Eg. Thoracoscopy LA, pt may need intubated
immediately, with initiation of positive-pressure
ventilation
Ldp/ awake/ Spont Breath/ open Chest
2. Paradoxical breathing:
• During inspiration, movement of gas from the exposed
lung into the intact lung and movement of air from the
environment into the open hemithorax cause collapse
of the exposed lung.
• During expiration, the reverse occurs, and the exposed
lung expands

Physiology of OLV
(Arterial Oxygenation and Carbon Dioxide Elimination)
05/21/15 HSNZ KT
Factors that might determine the amount of regional HPV
1. Distribution of the alveolar hypoxia is probably not a determinant of the amount of HPV; all regions of the lung
respond to alveolar hypoxia with vasoconstriction.
2. Atelectasis, most of blood flow reduction in acutely atelectatic lung is due to HPV and none of it to passive
mechanical factors (such as vessel tortuosity).
4. Anaesthetic drugs
7. FIO2 selectively decreasing the FIO2in the normoxic compartment causes an increase in normoxic lung vascular
tone, thereby decreasing blood flow diversion from hypoxic to normoxic lung.
8. Vasoconstrictor drugs constrict normoxic lung vessels preferentially, thereby disproportionately increasing
normoxic lung PVR causing decrease normoxic lung blood flow and increase atelectatic lung blood flow.
10. PEEP
Other Causes of Hypoxaemia During OLV
saturations are OK
• Manual ventilation for the first few minutes of OLV to
get a sense of pulmonary compliance / resistance
• Be attentive to inspiratory pressures and tidal volumes
and adjust the ventilator to optimize oxygenation and
alveolar ventilation, with minimal barotrauma
• Look at the surgical field to see if the non-dependent
lung is collapsed
...Management of OLV
• If flow of O is relatively low (<0.1 L/kg/min) almost all CO produced is retained, and
2 2
PaCO2 rises approximately 6 mmHg in the 1st minute and then 3 - 4 mmHg
each minute thereafter .
