WHO needs high FIO2?
2017
World Health Organization and the United States Center for Disease Control have recently recommended the use of 0.8 FIO2 in all adult surgical patients undergoing general anaesthesia, to prevent surgical site infections. This recommendation has arisen several discussions: As a matter of fact, there are numerous studies with different results about the effect of FIO2 on surgical site infection. Moreover, the clinical effects of FIO2 are not limited to infection control. We asked some prominent authors about their comments regarding the recent recommendations.
Thoracic Surgery in Patients with Previous Lung Resection
2020
Thoracic surgery in patients with a previous lung resection is a very difficult challenge for thoracic surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Correction to: Protective ventilation with high versus low positive end-expiratory pressure during one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery (PROTHOR…
2019
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) may result in longer duration of in-hospital stay and even mortality. Both thoracic surgery and intraoperative mechanical ventilation settings add considerably to the risk of PPC. It is unclear if one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery with a strategy of intraoperative high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers (RM) reduces PPC, compared to low PEEP without RM. Methods PROTHOR is an international, multicenter, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded, two-arm trial initiated by investigators of the PROtective VEntilation NETwork. In total, 2378 patients will be randomly assigned to one of two differe…
Thoracic Anesthesia during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Infection Pandemic: 2021 Updated Recommendations for Airway Management by the EACTAIC Thoracic …
2021
Contains fulltext : 244115.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The novel coronavirus pandemic has radically changed the landscape of normal surgical practice. Lifesaving cancer surgery, however, remains a clinical priority, and there is an increasing need to fully define the optimal oncologic management of patients with varying stages of lung cancer, allowing prioritization of which thoracic procedures should be performed in the current era. Healthcare providers and managers should not ignore the risk of a bimodal peak of mortality in patients with lung cancer; an imminent spike due to mortality from acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, and a secondary peak reflecting…
General Aspects of Thoracic Anesthesia
2020
Thoracic anesthesia, a fascinating subspecialty, provides perioperative medicine for a spectrum of dynamically evolving surgical procedures ranging from classical thoracotomies to minimally invasive and ultra-minimally invasive video or robotically assisted procedures. Its core mission is to provide optimal surgical conditions by deflating the operative lung while providing adequate oxygenation and avoiding injury to the ventilated lung. Thoracic anesthesia also provides preoperative care to achieve best possible health status before surgery and improves postoperative recovery by providing means of pain therapy and enhanced recovery following some of the most painful procedures in patients …
