Purpose:
We aimed to identify the preoperative risk factors for hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection for lung cancer and to establish a prediction model.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 268 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) radical resection for lung cancer at Yunnan Cancer Hospital from October 2021 to June 2022. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent preoperative risk factors for hypoxemia during OLV. A prediction model was established, and its predictive efficacy was evaluated with the consistency index (C-index) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results:
The multivariate analysis demonstrated that the ratio of dependent lung FLV to total lung FLV (odds ratio [OR] 0.8434; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.7281-0.9623), dependent lung HU value (OR 0.9676; 95% CI 0.9419-0.9895), dependent lung LAV% (OR 1.1838; 95% CI 1.0856-1.3138), and DLCO% pred (OR 0.9632; 95% CI 0.9353-0.9864) were independent preoperative risk factors affecting OLV hypoxemia. The prediction model that was constructed by this indicator was internally validated, with a C-index of 0.963, an AUC of 0.96 (95% CI 0.94-0.99) for the training set, and an AUC of 0.92 (95% CI 0.83-1) for the test set.
Conclusion:
CT-based quantitative indicators of the dependent lung are strong predictors of hypoxemia during OLV for lung cancer patients. This prediction model helps anesthesiologists to intuitively and accurately identify patients who may experience hypoxemia during OLV before surgery and develop individualized management strategies.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
