Abstract

The value of preoperative lung function tests was examined in 11 patients as a method to predict changes in intraoperative Pa02 (dPa02) during one-lung ventilation in pulmonary surgery. Ventilation (Kr-81m and Xe-133) and perfusion (Tc-99m microspheres) to the lung to be operated upon significantly predicted the intra-operative decrease in Pa02. The correlation between ventilation percentage to the diseased lung and dPa02 was 0,87 (SEE = 9,99) and between perlusion and dPa020,84 (SEE = 9,51).
