Regarding the gas exchange indices, at the completion of one-lung ventilation titration (T2), PaO in group O was significantly higher than that in group C (202.28±59.66 mmHg vs 112.23±8.74 mmHg). Compared with time of bilateral ventilation (T1), T2, and 10 min after the resumption of bilateral ventilation after intubation (T3) decreased significantly in both groups. The value of void volume/tidal volume ratio (VD/VT) in group C was significantly higher than that in group O at T2 and T3 (0.09±0.03 vs 0.07±0.02 and 0.13±0.04 vs 0.11±0.04, respectively). Compared with at T1, the VD/VT of the 2 groups were significantly higher at T3.
