Official title
Does Duration Matter? A Study on Single-Lung Ventilation Time and Pulmonary Complications in Thoracic Procedures
Overview
This observational study investigates the relationship between the duration of single-lung ventilation (SLV) and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, hemothorax, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adult patients undergoing thoracic surgery. A total of 134 patients aged 18-85 years, scheduled for thoracic surgery requiring SLV, will be monitored. Data including SLV duration, perioperative parameters, and postoperative pulmonary outcomes will be analyzed.
Interventions
- Procedure One-Lung ventilation
In this observational study, the naturally occurring duration of intraoperative single-lung ventilation (SLV) during thoracic surgery will be recorded. No intervention is applied or modified for research purposes. The exposure of interest is the total duration (in minutes) of SLV, which will be timed from initiation to termination during surgery. This variable will be analyzed in relation to postoperative pulmonary complications.
Primary outcome measures
- Postopertive Pulmonary Complications [Time frame: postoperative 7 days]
