• Participant gender: All

Summary

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential during mediastinal mass excision. However, OLV induces a drastic increase of intrapulmonary shunt due to maintained pulmonary perfusion through the nonventilated lung. In addition, it is reported that supine positioning of patient during OLV, which is required during mediastinal mass excision, results in worse oxygenation than lateral decubitus positioning.

Iloprost is a prostaglandin analogue and when inhaled during OLV, it acts selectively on the pulmonary vasculature, reducing pulmonary vascular resistance of well-ventilated lung and thereby alleviating ventilation-perfusion mismatch. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled iloprost on oxygenation during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing mediastinal mass excision.
