Blood gas and pH measurements were made in ten patients during thoracotomy using a Carlens endobronchial catheter. Arterial oxygenation is usually adequate if (1) high concentrations of oxygen are used, (2) the pulmonary artery is ligated as soon as possible during pneumonectomy, and (3) atelectasis in the dependent lung is prevented by vigorous ventilation. Acidosis is unlikely to occur.
