Progress in Thoracic Anesthesia

This monograph describes recent developments in anaesthesia for thoracic surgery and gives practitioners an idea of what to expect in the future, and it also educates readers on the advances that have increased the safety of surgery in the open thorax, thereby enabling surgeons to accept higher risk patients than previously.<p>Topics covered include preoperative assessment for lung cancer surgery, lung isolation for chest surgery, management of one-lung ventilation, anesthesia for new thoracic endoscopic procedures, the future of lung transplantation, airway stents, postthoracotomy analgesia, and anesthesiological considerations for lung volume reduction surgery. Other chapters discuss postpneumonectomy pulmonary edema, the right ventricular response to lung resection, postthoracotomy arrhythmias, and respiratory pharmacology.<p><br><br>
