Hypoxia on OLV
“1)Declare emergency, get help
2) Machine to pt, hypoxia difffernetial, especially cuff herniation
3) Hand ventilate, check for compliance
4) 100% FiO2, recruitment breaths
5) Check other monitors - ischemia
6) Auscultate
7) Suction
8) CPAP to operative lung
9) PEEP to non-operative lung
10) 2 lung vent
11) Clamp PA”
ARDS Definition
“1)Acute onset
2) PaO2/FiO2 <200 - significant gradient
3) B/L infiltrates
4) PCWP <18, absence of signs of volume overload”
