Lung injury is the leading cause of death after thoracic surgery. Initially recognized after
pneumonectomy, it has since been described after any period of 1-lung ventilation (OLV) …

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential for many thoracic and an increasing number of non-
thoracic minimally invasive procedures. Beyond the well-recognized disturbance of …

BACKGROUND: Although one-lung ventilation (OLV) has become an established procedure
during thoracic surgery, sparse data exist about inflammatory alterations in the deflated …

Background: One-lung ventilation (OLV) results in alveolar proinflammatory effects, whereas
their extent may depend on administration of anesthetic drugs. The current study evaluates …

Background The aim of the study was to compare robot-assisted esophagectomy (RE) with
thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) for the treatment of esophageal squamous cell …

Purpose One-lung ventilation (OLV) is commonly used during thoracic surgery. Clinical
studies using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis have demonstrated that OLV induces …

Purpose Pulmonary inflammatory reactions are affected by one-lung ventilation (OLV) and
anesthetic agents. However, the effects of anesthetic agents on pulmonary inflammatory …

Although general anesthesia still represents the standard when performing thoracic surgery,
the interest toward alternative methods is increasing. These have evolved from the employ …

OBJECTIVE: Mechanical stress during one-lung ventilation (OLV) results in lung injury. This
study compared the effects of mechanical ventilation, OLV, and surgical manipulation on …

Background Utilization of robotic-assistance for esophagectomy is increasing. The
differences in outcomes between robotic-assisted minimally-invasive esophagectomy …
