Brief summary

One lung ventilation (OLV) is essential during thoracic surgery. During OLV, intrapulmonary shunt can be increased resulting hypoxemia. Although OLV technique had been advanced so far, hypoxemia during OLV reaches about 10% in spite of inspired oxygen fraction 100%. Iloprost is a prostaglandin analogue used for pulmonary hypertension, which can decrease pulmonary artery resistance by selectively dilating pulmonary artery. In this prospective, randomized, double blind study, the investigator is planning to investigate the effects of iloprost on respiratory physiology (intrapulmonary shunt, deadspace, oxygenation, etc) in obese patients.

Interventions

DRUGnormal saline inhalation

When anesthesia induction finishes, change patients' position from supine to lateral position and measure ABGA, VBGA while two lung is ventilated (T0). After 20 minutes of applying one-lung ventilation, measure ABGA and VBGA (T1). Apply normal saline inhalation for control group and measure ABGA at the time of 20 min after normal saline inhalation has finished (T2).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Result of arterial blood gas analysis : partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)20 minutes after iloprost inhalation (T2)
Result of arterial blood gas analysis : partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood(PaO2)/Fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2) ratio (P/F ratio)20 minutes after iloprost inhalation (T2)
Result of arterial blood gas analysis : Oxygen saturation in arterial blood(SaO2)20 minutes after iloprost inhalation (T2)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
deadspace20 minutes after iloprost inhalation (T2)Dead space ventilation was calculated with Paco2 and end-tidal carbon dioxide (Etco2) according to the Hardman and Aitkenhead equation \[1.14 × (Paco2- Etco2)/Paco2 - 0.005\].
intrapulmonary shunt20 minutes after iloprost inhalation (T2)-Shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) was calculated using the following formula: Qs/Qt = (CcO2-CaO2)/(CcO2-CvO2), (1) -whereby: * CaO2 = (PaO2 x 0.0031) + (Hemoglobin x 1.36 x SaO2), (2) * CvO2 = (PvO2 x 0.0031) + (Hemoglobin x 1.36 x SvO2), (3) * CcO2 = (\[FiO2 x (PB - PH2O) - PaCO2/Respiratory quotient\] x 0.0031) + (Hemoglobin x 1.36), (4) * PB is the barometric pressure (760 mmHg), the PH2O is 47 mmHg
