    A unilateral white lung case was successfully treated using differential lung ventilation. This innovative approach involved high continuous positive airway pressure and high frequency positive pressure ventilation for the affected lung.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • A 53-year-old female presented with a unilateral "white lung" three weeks post-injury.
    • Initial clinical presentation suggested a pleural or extra-pleural hematoma, necessitating two surgical interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of unilateral white lung of known etiology.
    • To present a successful treatment strategy involving differential lung ventilation.

    Main Methods:

    • The patient underwent two thoracotomies, with the second revealing intraparenchymal lung pathology.
    • Treatment involved differential lung ventilation: high continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applied to the diseased lung, followed by high frequency positive pressure ventilation (HFPPV) of the diseased lung and low-frequency CPAP to the contralateral lung.

    Main Results:

    • The described differential lung ventilation technique was found to be simple and effective.
    • Successful management of the unilateral white lung condition was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Differential lung ventilation, incorporating HFPPV and CPAP, offers a viable and straightforward treatment option for unilateral white lung.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering intraparenchymal lesions and advanced ventilatory strategies in managing complex lung conditions post-injury.
