Vanishing lung
syndrome is a rare disease that could be treated successfully in selected cases with bullectomy. Protective ventilation is very important during surgery to achieve optimal post-operative results and to prevent complications.
Hypercapnia
and respiratory acidosis are the main disadvantages of this ventilator strategy. The use of extracorporeal CO
2
removal device has been introduced to support protective and ultra-protective ventilation during respiratory failure in complex cases. In thoracic surgery the intraoperative use of this device is still not widespread. We report a successful case of a giant left lung bullectomy with intraoperative support with Pro-Lung CO
2
removal device for the management of
hypercapnia
during single lung ventilation.
