Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in patients undergoing thoracic procedures the lung inflammatory response in on one-lung ventilation and two-lung ventilation strategies The main question to answer is: • Lung inflammation differs when comparing one to two-lung ventilation strategies during the procedure? Participants will be divided in the classic one lung ventilation or two lung ventilation (using pneumothorax with CO2) and different biomarkers of lung inflammation will be measured after procedures.

Interventions

PROCEDUREtwo lung ventilation

The intervention do not involve a drug or device. It will be compared two different approaches to ventilate the lungs during the procedure . In this arm both lungs will be ventilated inserting a disposable trocar into the pleural cavity, and insufflating CO2 into the thoracic cavity via an insufflator. The insufflation pressure and the flow rate will be set as 8 mmHg and 10 l.min-1, of the cavity with CO2. The insufflator will be adjusted for cavity pressure in 8mmHg and flow of 10L/min.

PROCEDUREone lung ventilation

In this arm only one lung (the contralateral lung) will be ventilated using a Carlens type orotracheal tube

Inclusion criteria

* A diagnosis of pleural or mediastinal pathology that requires diagnostic or therapeutic surgical intervention; * Written consent to participate

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant women; * Patients on mechanical ventilation prior to the procedure; * Patients classified by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) as class 4; * Patients with subpulmonary or diaphragmatic pathologies, where it is believed that the two pulmonary technique is superior; * Impossibility of using a double-lumen tube or difficult intubation; * Patient does not support one-lung ventilation; * Patient with previous lung resection surgery
