Video-assisted thoracic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax under two-lung ventilation and single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated the feasibility of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) performed under two-lung ventilation (TLV) and single-lumen endotracheal tube (SLET) intubation in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax.

Methods

From January 2016 to December 2019, 344 patients who underwent VATS with spontaneous pneumothorax, whether primary or secondary, were enrolled. The surgery was performed through TLV using SLET intubation or one-lung ventilation (OLV) using double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLET) intubation. Patient data were collected retrospectively from medical records and compared with an emphasis on the time required for anesthesia and surgery.

Results

The average anesthesia time was 72.6±17.8 min for TLV and 89.9±24.3 min for OLV (P<0.001). The a
