Abstract

Ventilation and perfusion matching is optimized for gas exchange. Induction of anesthesia, one-lung ventilation (OLV), and opening of the chest progressively uncouple ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) homeostasis. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) improves V/Q matching during OLV but can be impaired by anesthetic interventions.
