Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the local cytokine inflammatory response during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy or wedge resection. We compare two different ventilation strategies: a conventional strategy with a protective strategy.

Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury Inflammatory Response Respiratory Complication | Other: Conventional One-Lung Ventilation Other: Protective One-lung ventilation | Not Applicable |
One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a ventilation procedure used for pulmonary resection often causing lung injury. International guidelines have recommended for years the use of conventional ventilation (CV) with high tidal volume (VT) (8-10 ml\kg).A body of recent evidences have shown that conventional ventilation can reduce systemic oxygenation, increase inflammatory products and cause lung tissue damage. In this study we compare the conventional strategy , consisted of Vt 10 mL/kg, with the protective strategy, consisted of Vt 5 mL/kg. Both Vt were based on predicted body weight (PBW). Broncho-alveolar lavages (BAL) are selectively performed in the dependent (ventilated) lung before and at the end of the OLV. The levels of pro-inflammatory (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF) and anti-inflammatory (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, INFγ) cytokines are evaluated. We also evaluate patients clinical outcomes in terms of incidence of postoperative respiratory complications and length of stay.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- local cytokine inflammatory response in the two study groups [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline cytokines level and the end of surgery (about 60 minutes) ]The levels of cytokines were evaluated in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL)
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- incidence of postoperative respiratory in the two study groups [ Time Frame: within 48 hours of the operation ]PaO2 /FIO 2 <300 mm Hg and /or the presence of newly developed lung lesions (lung infi ltration and atelectasis)
- lenght of stay in the two study groups [ Time Frame: 1 month ]lenght of hospital stay expressed in days
