Does Duration Matter? A Study on Single-Lung Ventilation Time and Pulmonary Complications in Thoracic Procedures
This observational study investigates the relationship between the duration of single-lung ventilation (SLV) and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, hemothorax, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adult patients undergoing thoracic surgery. A total of 134 patients aged 18-85 years, scheduled for thoracic surgery requiring SLV, will be monitored. Data including SLV duration, perioperative parameters, and postoperative pulmonary outcomes will be analyzed.
Inclusion Criteria:
Age ≥18 years Undergoing thoracic surgery OLV planned during the procedure
Exclusion Criteria:
