Anesthesia for Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Limited options to treat hypoxemia during one-lung venti• lation (OLV) compared to open thoracotomy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) interferes with surgical exposure during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Priority on rapid and complete lung collapse. • Possibility of prolonged periods of OLV. Particularly dur• ing the learning phase of the surgical team. Decreased postoperative analgesic requirements compared • to open thoracotomy. Surgical delay in treating major intraoperative hemorrhage. • The option of doing minor VATS procedures with local or • regional anesthesia.

Comparison of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery and Intrapleural Urokinase as an Initial Treatment for Parapneumonic Effusion and Thoracic Empyema
Introduction: The treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusion (PPE) and thoracic empyema (TE) is controversial; and the choice of treatment after confirming the failure of simple drainage remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of intrapleural urokinase (UK) administration and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) as initial treatment options for PPE and...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Surgical interventions, including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries, are increasingly being performed in the neonatal and pediatric populations. Thoracic anesthesia in infants and children poses special challenges for the anesthesiologist. These include assessment of the patient's clinical condition, obtaining and maintaining single lung ventilation, and maintaining adequ...
متن کاملNonintubated thoracoscopic segmentectomy-left upper lobe trisegmentectomy.
Enhanced computed tomography screening protocols have recently identified increasing numbers of small lung tumors in patients with high surgical risks (1). Consequently there has been increasing interest in minimally invasive surgical approaches, including thoracoscopic approaches, parenchyma-sparing resection, and less invasive anesthesia for management of lung tumors (2) . The role of thoraco...
