Extradural pain relief in labour: bupivacaine sparing by extradural fentanyl is dose dependent.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Double-lumen tubes (DLTs) are frequently used to establish one-lung ventilation (OLV). Their correct placement is crucial. We hypothesized that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) reliably displays distribution of ventilation between left and right lung and may thus be used to verify correct DLT placement ...
