27One Lung Ventilation

Double Lumen ETT

One Lung Ventilation 28

Right vs Left Double Lumen ETT

Placement

• Teaching has focused on Left Sided DLT placement for

most thoracic procedures

• Potential to block ventilation of Right upper lobe

• Potential to migrate across carina

• A challenge to conventional wisdom: placement of

Bronchiole (distal) Lumen into the non-operative lung

One Lung Ventilation 29

Right vs Left Double Lumen ETT

Placement

• Opposite Sided DLT Placement Advantages

• No interference or stapling of DLT into bronchus

during lobectomy or pneumonectomy

• Allows the trachea lumen to be clamped

• Bronchoscopy through trachea lumen to assess

distal balloon – not interrupt ventilation

• Tracheal (Proxmial) cuff damage during intubation

• One Lung Ventilation can still be achieved by the

functional bronchial (distal) balloon

Calculation of Alveolar Oxygen Level

• Example:

• ABG on Room Air (FiO2 = 0.21)

• PaO2 90

• PaCO2 40

• PAO2 = FiO2 (PB – PH2O) – PaCO2/RQ

• PAO2 = 0.21 (760 – 47) – 40/0.8

• PAO2 = 0.21 (713) = 149.7 (40/0.8 = 50)

• PAO2 = 149.7- 50 = 99.7

• PAO2 - PaO2

• 99.7 – 90 = 9.7
