Abstract
(Abstracted from J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth, 31:411–417, 2017) Although deemed mandatory to provide safe and optimal operating conditions for surgical manipulation, general anesthesia with endobronchial intubation and 1-lung positive-pressure ventilation for thoracic surgery has been known to cause lung injury. Nonintubated thoracic anesthetic techniques for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in awake and sedated patients can be an alternate method to decrease the overall invasiveness and surgical stress.
