Negative-Pressure Lung Re-expansion After One-Lung Ventilation for Pulmonary Resection: A Retrospective Study
Authors' conclusion
Negative-pressure lung re-expansion was not associated with increased adverse events compared with conventional positive-pressure re-expansion after one-lung ventilation for minimally invasive lung resection.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing OLV for minimally invasive lung resection, single tertiary care hospital
- Participants

- Exposure
- Negative- vs positive-pressure lung re-expansion after OLV
- Negative-pressure re-expansionn = 242

- Outcome
- Early postoperative atelectasis, lung contusion, pulmonary edema
