Published	12/13/2023	A {{c2::low::high/low}} FiO2 {{c1::decreases::increase/decrease}} blood flow in one-lung ventilation.
Published	12/13/2023	What is the technique most often used for one-lung ventilation?{{c1::Double-lumen tubes}}
Published	12/13/2023	Which double-lumen tube is preferred in most surgical procedures (irrespective of operative side)?{{c1::Left-sided tubes}}
Published	12/13/2023	What is the most common complication of double-lumen tubes?{{c1::Hypoxemia}}
Published	12/13/2023	One lung ventilation (lung separation) can be accomplished with a single lumen endotracheal tube and a {{c1::bronchial blocker}}.
Published	12/13/2023	The advantage to using a bronchial blocker with a single-lumen tube is that it eliminates the need for {{c1::tube exchange}} postoperatively.
Published	12/13/2023	Bronchial blockers have a {{c1::high::high/low}}-volume {{c1::low::high/low}}-pressure cuff with either an elliptical or spherical shape
Published	12/13/2023	Mortality and morbidity are significantly increased if FEV1 is < {{c1::40}}% of normal
Published	12/13/2023	What is the first step in the management of hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation?{{c1::Ensure adequate position of the bronchial tube (or bronch…
Published	12/13/2023	What is the next step in management of hypoxia during one-lung anesthesia after confirming the positioning of the bronchial tube and FiO2 has bee…
Published	12/13/2023	{{c1::Two-lung ventilation}} should be instituted for severe, refractory hypoxemia during one-lung anesthesia
Published	12/13/2023	What type of IV access is required in patients undergoing mediastinoscopy?{{c1::Large-bore IV in lower extremity}}
Published	12/13/2023	What arm should the BP cuff be placed on during a mediastinoscopy?{{c1::Left}}
Published	12/13/2023	Bronchoalveolar lavage may be employed for patients with {{c1::pulmonary alveolar proteinosis}}.
Published	12/13/2023	For pneumonectomy patients, {{c1::clamping of the pulmonary artery}} may improve hypoxemia (reduces shunt flow to non-dependent lungs).
Published	12/13/2023	During a mediastinoscopy, a pulse oximeter must be placed on the {{c1::right}} extremity to evaluate for perfusion.
