Effect of Iloprost on Pulmonary Oxygenation in Patients With Low Diffusing Capacity During One-lung Ventilation

June 19, 2018 updated by: Yonsei University
One lung ventilation (OLV) is essential during thoracic surgery. During OLV, intrapulmonary shunt can be increased resulting hypoxemia. Although OLV technique had been advanced so far, hypoxemia during OLV reaches about 10% in spite of inspired oxygen fraction 100%. Iloprost is a prostaglandin analogue used for pulmonary hypertension, which can decrease pulmonary artery resistance by selectively dilating pulmonary artery. In this prospective, randomized, double blind study, investigators are planning to investigate the effects of iloprost on respiratory physiology (intrapulmonary shunt, deadspace, oxygenation, etc).

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: iloprost group
iloprost inhalation group
Drug: iloprost

20μg(2ml) of inhaled iloprost (Ventavis®)

When anesthesia induction finishes, change patients' position from supine to lateral position and measure arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA), venous blood gas analysis (VBGA) while two lung is ventilated. After 20 minutes of applying one lung ventilation, measure ABGA. Apply iloprost or normal saline inhalation for each iloprost and control group and measure ABGA at the time of 20 min and 40 min after iloprost (or normal saline) inhalation has finished.
Placebo Comparator: control group
normal saline inhalation group
Drug: normal saline

20μg(2ml) of inhaled normal saline

When anesthesia induction finishes, change patients' position from supine to lateral position and measure ABGA, VBGA while two lung is ventilated. After 20 minutes of applying one lung ventilation, measure ABGA. Apply iloprost or normal saline inhalation for each iloprost and control group and measure ABGA at the time of 20 min and 40 min after iloprost (or normal saline) inhalation has finished.
