Previously a report has suggested that administration of lung protective strategy for one-lung ventilation(OLV) results in oxygen desaturation of the brain parenchyma. The aim of our work was to confirm that the maintenance of normocapnia during protective OLV strategy results in alteration of cerebral blood fl ow and cerebral oxygen saturation as compared to double-lung ventilation. ⋯ OLV does not result in clinically relevant decreases in cerebral blood fl ow and cerebral oxygen saturation during application of lung protective ventilation if normocapnia is maintained.
