The Effects of Propofol, Isoflurane, and Sevoflurane on Oxygenation and Shunt Fraction During One-Lung Ventilation

Abstract

During one-lung ventilation, the arterial partial pressure of oxygen values with propofol were greater than those with isoflurane and sevoflurane, and shunt fraction values with propofol were lower than those with both volatile anesthetics. Propofol improved oxygenation and shunt fraction during one-lung ventilation compared with volatile anesthetics.
