Effects of hypercarbia on arterial oxygenation during one-lung ventilation: prospective randomized crossover study.

Conclusions: Hypercarbia increases PaO2 and O2 carrying capacity and improves pulmonary mechanics during OLV, suggesting that it may be helpful to manage oxygenation during OLV. Therefore, permissive hypercarbia may be a simple and valuable modality to manage arterial oxygenation during OLV. PMID: 32460465 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
