Lung Collapse, One-Lung Ventilation
Physiology of Lung Collapse Under One-Lung Ventilation: Underlying Mechanisms
Lung isolation technique and one-lung ventilation (OLV) are the mainstays of thoracic anesthesia. Two principal lung isolation techniques are mainly use by clinicians, the double lumen tubes (DLT) and the bronchial blockers (BB).
