Detailed explanation-1: -Our findings suggest that avoiding the supine positioning after pneumonectomy may facilitate improvements in hemodynamics and a decreased risk of hypoxemia. The optimal position for gas exchange after pneumonectomy is a lateral position, with the remaining lung in the uppermost position.
Detailed explanation-2: -Management of the post pneumonectomy patient Avoid positive pressure ventilation. Chest drains OFF suction. C: Monitor invasively; do not react to hypotension with fluid boluses, as pulmonary oedema may result. Liverpool ICU fluid-restrict their patients to 1500ml from Day 3.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once resectability is confirmed, the first step of a right pneumonectomy is to expose the lower pulmonary vein. The pulmonary ligament is divided, using monopolar or bipolar cautery for small bronchial vessels. Mediastinal pleura is then divided around the hilum to expose the vascular and bronchial elements.
