Unilateral Ventilation

Unilateral ventilation refers to the process of delivering air or oxygen to one lung or one side of the respiratory system, often through a specialized device or technique. This approach is used in certain medical situations to help evaluate or treat lung function, manage lung injury, or optimize oxygen delivery when one lung needs more support or is diseased. It allows healthcare providers to target airflow precisely, improving efficiency and patient outcomes, especially during procedures or in cases of lung impairment.
