About this trial
This study aims to investigate whether using 50% FiO₂ during one-lung ventilation, compared with 100% FiO₂, reduces postoperative atelectasis in the non-dependent (healthy) lung of patients undergoing VATS pulmonary lobectomy, based on individualized PEEP titration. This is a single-center, prospective, assessor- and patient-blinded randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 patients (50 per group, including a pilot phase of 10 per group) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to the high-oxygen group (FiO₂=100%) and the low-oxygen group (FiO₂=50%). The primary endpoint is the percentage of atelectasis volume in the non-operated lung relative to the total non-operated lung volume, assessed by CT at 60±10 minutes after tracheal extubation.

Treatments tested in this trial
Low inspired oxygen concentration (FiO₂=50%) during one-lung ventilation
Procedure/SurgeryVentilation with initial FiO₂=50% during one-lung ventilation, combined with individualized PEEP titration. Oxygen concentration is dynamically adjusted based on SpO₂; ventilation duration at each FiO₂ level and total oxygen exposure burden are recorded.
High inspired oxygen concentration (FiO₂=100%) during one-lung ventilaion
Procedure/SurgeryVentilation with FiO₂=100% throughout one-lung ventilation, combined with individualized PEEP titration (decremental PEEP titration selecting the highest PEEP corresponding to the lowest driving pressure).
