Comparative Analysis of the Lung Inflammatory Response After Thoracic Surgery With Single or Double Lung Ventilation: a Randomized, Pilot, Trial

The intervention do not involve a drug or device. It will be compared two different approaches to ventilate the lungs during the procedure . In this arm both lungs will be ventilated inserting a disposable trocar into the pleural cavity, and insufflating CO2 into the thoracic cavity via an insufflator. The insufflation pressure and the flow rate will be set as 8 mmHg and 10 l.min-1, of the cavity with CO2. The insufflator will be adjusted for cavity pressure in 8mmHg and flow of 10L/min.

In this arm only one lung (the contralateral lung) will be ventilated using a Carlens type orotracheal tube
