Meta AnalysisImpact of Lower Tidal Volumes During One-Lung Ventilation: A 2022 Update of the Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
To clarify the influence of lower tidal volume (4-7 mL/kg) compared with higher tidal volume (8-15 mL/kg) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) on gas exchange and postoperative clinical outcome. ⋯ The use of lower tidal volume, a component of protective OLV, increases the PaO2/FIO2 ratio, reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, and should be considered strongly in daily practice.
