Abstract: Background Hypoxemia is one of the most common complications during one lung ventilation(OLV). Hypoxemia pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV) is a reflex contraction of vascular smooth muscle in the pulmonary circulation in response to low regional partial pressure of oxygen. It can decrease pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) and improve oxygenation. Objective To discuss the effects of drugs during anesthesia with OLV on Qs/Qt. Content Many drugs during anesthesia have an effect on HPV, Qs/Qt and oxygenation. Trend Drugs during anesthesia with OLV can inhibit or enhance the response of HPV, increase or decrease the Qs/Qt. We should avoid of drugs that inhibit the response of HPV and increase Qs/Qt. It can help patients to avoid of hypoxia.
