Clinical Trial
How often should we perform arterial blood gas analysis during thoracoscopic surgery?
To continuously measure arterial blood gases (ABGs), to calculate the percentage of anticipated changes over time, and to develop recommendations for sampling frequencies of arterial blood gases in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. ⋯ Current standards to monitor arterial blood gases are not sufficient to detect and prevent hypoxemic events during thoracoscopic surgery with one-lung ventilation. Intermittent arterial blood gas analyses must be performed more frequently, up to every 10 minutes, to detect changes of 20% in arterial partial pressure of oxygen.
