*3.1.3 Preimplantation*

Management strategies:

i.An early trial of one-lung ventilation is advisable to see if acceptable gas exchange (pO2, pCO2, pH) and cardiac function can be maintained.

	- The FiO2 should be minimized as tolerated during lung and bronchial dissection.
	- On isolation of the lung for explantation, the appropriate lumen of the double-lumen endotracheal tube is suctioned with a flexible suction catheter to entrain room air when the bronchus is divided.
