- Direct arterial catheterization: detects surgical cardiac compression, sudden bleeding, serial blood gases during OLV
- Central venous pressure: may not reflect intravascular fluid volume and is no longer considered an accurate guide for fluid responsiveness
- Pulmonary artery catheterization: interpretation may be difficult during OLV, application of PEEP
- TEE: ventricular function, valvular function, motion changes reflecting ischemia
- Arterial blood gases (especially PaCO2)
OLV = one-lung ventilation; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; TEE = transesophageal echocardiography.
