Summary
One-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery may affect systemic oxygenation and peripheral
microcirculation by hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Both intravenous and inhalational
anesthetics can be used during one-lung ventilation. However, there is still a controversy
which anesthetic would be more appropriate during one-lung ventilation in the perspective of
oxygenation and microcirculation. The investigators hypothesized that intravenous and
inhalational anesthetics may affect oxygenation and microcirculation differently during
one-lung ventilation.
