Ventilatory protective strategies during thoracic surgery: effects of alveolar recruitment maneuver and low-tidal volume ventilation on lung density distribution. Anesthesiology. 2011;114(5):1025–35. This experimental study examines whether alveolar recruitment maneuvers and low tidal volume ventilation may influence tidal recruitment and lung density distribution. A single recruitment maneuver before OLV has beneficial effects on respiratory mechanics and aeration of the ventilated lung. Subsequent one-lung ventilation with low tidal volumes does not reinforce tidal recruitment, indicating decreased mechanical stress.

Alveolar recruitment maneuvers and standard ventilation do not extend inflammation in healthy porcine lungs. Desflurane anesthesia attenuates both pulmonary and systemic cytokine release, but less than propofol, and does not modulate mRNA expression.

This comprehensive review presents the current available data regarding the perioperative risks associated with fluid management in thoracic surgery and its implications on the development of acute lung injury as well as acute kidney injury. Alternative fluid regimens to the traditional restrictive protocols used during thoracic surgery are being explored. These include normovolemic and goal-directed therapy protocols and the use of newer colloid solutions.

Chest. 2011;139(3):530–7. This clinical study was undertaken to examine whether protective ventilatory settings would attenuate lung impairment during one-lung ventilation compared with conventional ventilation in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. It was established that in comparison with the traditional ventilation approaches, application of small tidal volumes and PEEP through pressure-controlled ventilation was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative lung dysfunction.

This trial was conducted to determine whether an alveolar recruitment strategy applied just before starting one-lung ventilation improves ventilatory efficiency. It was found that recruitment of both lungs before instituting OLV not only decreased alveolar dead space, but also improved arterial oxygenation and the efficiency of ventilation.

Effects of volatile and intravenous anesthesia on the alveolar and systemic inflammatory response in thoracic surgical patients. Anesthesiology. 2011;115(1):65–74. This clinical study demonstrates that OLV induces release of proinflammatory substances into the alveoli of the ventilated lung in patients undergoing open thoracic surgery. The administration of halogenated volatile anesthetics, such as desflurane or sevoflurane, suppresses pulmonary cytokine release, but not the immediate systemic inflammatory response to OLV and thoracic surgery.

However, only small evidence from randomized controlled trials suggests differences in participant outcomes with anaesthesia maintained by intravenous versus inhalational anaesthesia during one-lung ventilation.
