    Preoperatiewe spesiale ondersoeke en intraoperatiewe arteriele suurstofspanning tydens eenlongnarkose
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1990) Hattingh, P.; Coetzee, A.; McGregor, L.; Klopper, J. F.
    The value of preoperative lung function tests was examined in 11 patients as a method to predict changes in intraoperative PaO2 (dPaO2) during one-lung ventilation in pulmonary surgery. Ventilation (Kr-81m and Xe-133) and perfusion (Tc-99m microspheres) to the lung to be operated upon significantly predicted the intra-operative decrease in PaO2. The correlation between ventilation percentage to the diseased lung and dPaO2 was 0,87 (SEE = 9,99) and between perfusion and dPaO2 0,84 (SEE = 9,51).
