Cerebral oxygen desaturation during one-lung ventilation: correlation with hemodynamic variables.
Cerebral desaturation occurs frequently in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery. The mechanism of this desaturation is unclear regarding its etiology. The objective of this study was to investigate whether or not decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation associated with one-lung ventilation were a consequence of decreased cardiac output. ⋯ Cerebral oxygen desaturation was universal during one-lung ventilation in this study. There was no correlation between cerebral desaturation and cardiac output or other hemodynamic variables.
