Abstract Editor's Perspective What We Already Know about This Topic After pulmonary
artery occlusion (mimicking a pulmonary embolism), perfusion is redistributed to the rest of …

Background Previous studies have suggested that pulmonary embolism (PE) and
pulmonary artery occlusion result in a shift in alveolar ventilation away from unperfused …

Background During one-lung ventilation (OLV), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can
improve lung aeration but might overdistend lung units and increase intrapulmonary shunt …

Background: The incidence of hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) is as high as
10%. It is also partially determined by the distribution of perfusion. During thoracic surgery …

To explore mechanisms of hypoxemia after acute pulmonary embolism, we measured
regional pulmonary blood flow and alveolar ventilation before and after embolization with …

Objective To assess and compare the effect of intraoperative stepwise alveolar recruitment
manoeuvres (ARMs), followed by individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) …

Objective: To test the hypothesis that reperfusion of the canine lung after 1 week of vascular
occlusion results in acute injury of the reperfused lung with concurrent impairment in gas …

Background One-lung ventilation (OLV) increases mechanical stress in the lung and affects
ventilation and perfusion (V, Q). There are no data on the effects of OLV on postoperative …

Background. Arterial oxygenation can change during one‐lung ventilation for reasons that
are not fully understood. Methods. We studied patients during anaesthesia and one‐lung …

Background One-lung ventilation (OLV) exposes the dependent lung to increased
mechanical stress which may affect the postoperative course. This study evaluates regional …
