Q

CO2 elimination is not affected by one lung ventilation except for when?

A

Changes in Minute Ventilation

&

Preexisiting CO2 Retention

21
Q

What should the Tidal Volumes be for One Lung Ventilation?

A

Same as Two Lung - 7-8cc/kg

22
Q

How long can Ventilation be stopped for?

A

As long as O2 supplied is more than consumed

250-300cc/min

23
Q

How fast does PCO2 increase during Apnea?

A

5 mmHg for first minute

then

3 mmHg for each minute after

24
Q

What happens after 10-20 minutes of Apneic Oxygenation?

A

Progressive Respiratory Acidosis

25
Q

How should you intubate to ensure proper ETT placement for one lung ventilation?

A

Use Fiberoptic Scope

26
Q

What do you do for Hypoxia during One Lung Ventilation?

A
  • 80-100% FIO2
  • Check TV & ETT Placement
  • Keep PaCO2 @ 40 mmHg
  • Add 5cm CPAP to Upper Lung & 5cm PEEP to Lower Lung Slowly
  • Clamp Upper PA
  • Return to 2 Lung
27
