Gravity is an important determinant of Oxygenation during One-Lung Ventilation

| Zusammenfassung: | The role of gravity in the redistribution of pulmonary blood flow during one-lung ventilation (OLV) has recently been
questioned. To address this controversial but clinically important issue we used an experimental approach that allowed
us to differentiate the effects of gravity from the effects of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction on arterial oxygenation
during OLV in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery |
