Significance of Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Bypass Support for Volume Reduction Surgery with Severe Hypercapnia

: In patients with reduced respiratory function, lung resection is associated with high risk because separate ventilation is generally needed for safe management. For patients with end‐stage emphysema, intraoperative respiratory management is important and particularly difficult because neither incomplete oxygenation nor selective ventilation can be performed, so the operation may be interrupted. In this study, we assess the effectiveness of the...
