Lung isolation is being used more frequently in adult patients due to increasing incidence of thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. There are several indications for lung isolation and one-lung ventilation (OLV) during surgery. Isolation is usually achieved by double-lumen endotracheal tubes or use of some type of bronchial blocker system. The initiation of OLV frequently leads to hypoxemia, the management of which should be stepwise. Additionally, clinical outcomes are significantly improved with the use of lung protective strategies during OLV. This review covers the use of few of the most common lung isolation devices, management of OLV using lung protective ventilation strategies, and management of oxygenation and hypoxemia during OLV. This review contains 12 figures, 6 tables, and 36 references. Key Words: bronchial blockers, double-lumen tube, uninvent, hypoxemia, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, one lung ventilation, positive end expiratory pressure, tracheal anatomy, lung isolation

Abstract Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) represents a fundamental difference between the pulmonary and systemic circulations. HPV is active in utero, reducing pulmonary blood flow, and in adults helps to match regional ventilation and perfusion although it has little effect in healthy lungs. Many factors affect HPV including pH or Pco2, cardiac output, and several drugs, including antihypertensives. In patients with lung pathology and any patient having one-lung ventilation, HPV contributes to maintaining oxygenation, so anesthesiologists should be aware of the effects of anesthesia on this protective reflex. Intravenous anesthetic drugs have little effect on HPV, but it is attenuated by inhaled anesthetics, although less so with newer agents. The reflex is biphasic, and once the second phase becomes active after about an hour of hypoxia, this pulmonary vasoconstriction takes hours to reverse when normoxia returns. This has significant clinical implications for repeated periods of one-lung ventilation.
