What Happens to the Lung During Mechanical Ventilation and One-Lung Ventilation?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Postoperative Care in Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation can cause morphological and functional changes. Thoracic surgery and one-lung ventilation can accentuate these changes resulting in atelectasis due to high fraction of inspired oxygen and surgical manipulation.
