one lung vent, MH Flashcards
one lung ventilation is indicated for
thoracic surgery, VATS, trauma to chest, any approach passing through the chest (mediastinm, esophagus), or need to isolate a single lung (bleeding, infection, bronchopleural fistula)
one lung vent is most often accompanied by
pneumo
most used position for thoracic surgery
lateral ducubitus
dependent lung =
lower lung
non-dependent lung =
upper lung
axillary roll is placed on
upper chest wall (not in the axilla)
in the awake and lateral position the ____ lung is better perfused and ventilated
dependent
with induction of anesthesia, with a decrease in FRC, the ____ lung ventilates more
upper
why does positive pressure vent favor upper lung
it is more compliant
muscle paralysis favors vent of the ___ lung. why?
upper. due to abd contents pushing up more on the dependent hemidiaphragm
rigid bean bag hinders movement of dependent hemidiaphragm and favors ventilation of ___ lung
upper
open pneumothorax of upper lung increases ___, favoring vent of ____
compliance, upper lung
the lower lung is ___ compliant in lateral decubitus
less
zone 1 upright
A > a > v
zone 2 upright
a > A > v
zone 3 upright
a > v > A
** best V/Q match
open pneumo causes a ____ shunt
large R to L intrapulmonary shunt (20-30%)
blood flow to the non ventilated = nondependent = upper lung is ___ by hypoxic pulm vasoconstriction
decreased
HPV ___ the r to l shunt
improves
surgical compression of the upper lung can __ blood flow, ____ the shunt
decrease, improves
3 main factors that inhibit HPV
6 total
hypocapnia, vasodilators, inhalation agents
very high or very low PA pressures
high or evry low mixed venous PO2
Pulmonary infections
4 factors that decrease blood flow to dependent lung
high mean airway pressures in ventilated lung from PEEP, hyperventilation or increased PIP
low FIO2
vasoconstrictors
intrinsic peep from short expiratory time
CO2 elimination is usually not affected by one lung ventilation provided: (2 points)
minute ventilation is unchanged and preexisting CO2 retention was not present pre-op (COPD)
tidal volumes are kept roughly the same as two lung vent, around ___
10cc/kg. (may adjust due to changes in PIP, RR, altered to maintain normocapnia
