Comparative StudyTwo-lung high-frequency jet ventilation as an alternative ventilation technique during transthoracic esophagectomy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate two-lung high-frequency jet ventilation during esophagectomy and evaluate the influence of high-frequency jet ventilation on pulmonary complications as compared with one-lung ventilation. ⋯ High-frequency jet ventilation to 2 lungs, using a single-lumen tube, is a safe and adequate ventilation technique for use during esophagectomy. High-frequency jet ventilation had no influence on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications but reduced perioperative blood loss and led to a decreased need for fluid replacement.

The impact of lung recruitment on hemodynamics during one-lung ventilation.
The objective of the present study was to investigate respiratory and hemodynamic changes by measuring continuous cardiac output, cardiac filling, and stroke volume variation after lung recruitment in thoracic surgery. ⋯ The authors concluded that during open-chest surgery with OLV, an ARM effectively improved oxygenation without inducing important circulatory changes.
