One-lung ventilation is indicated during thoracic operations for bronchopleural fistula, pulmonary abscess, and pulmonary hemorrhage in spite of the possibility of the development of severe hypoxemia. To evaluate methods for improving oxygen transport during one-lung ventilation, we applied high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to the nondependent lung following deflation to atmospheric pressure in each procedure, and measured the effects on cardiac output and arterial oxygenation. In each case, the dependent lung was ventilated with conventional intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV).

Eight patients were studied during posterolateral thoracotomy using double-lumen endobronchial tubes. HFJV or CPAP to the nondependent lung improved arterial oxygenation significantly during both closed and open stages of the surgical procedures (p > 0.008). When the chest was open, HFJV maintained satisfactory cardiac output, whereas CPAP usually decreased cardiac output (p > 0.008). There were no significant differences in mean partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide between HFJV, CPAP, and deflation to atmospheric pressure.

In conclusion, HFJV to the nondependent lung provides not only satisfactory oxygenation but also good cardiac output, thereby maintaining better oxygen transport than CPAP or deflation to atmospheric pressure, while the dependent lung is ventilated with IPPV during one-lung ventilation for thoracotomy.
