Anesthésie-réanimation en chirurgie thoracique

In addition to the essential basic concepts of this type of anaesthesia, this book describes all of the new anaesthetic and surgical developments. Over the last 15 years, thoracic surgery has seen the emergence of very low invasive techniques using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Anaesthetists therefore need to adjust their practices and techniques as a result.

Pulmonary isolation has changed greatly through the arrival of new bronchial blockers, unipulmonary ventilation is becoming increasingly “protective” and analgesia is adjusting to the mini-incisions used in VATS. The reader will find all of the necessary information for anaesthetic management in different types of surgery. The explicit description of post-operative care allows for better communication and understanding with surgeons. 

This reference written by prestigious authors from the international French-speaking community is intended for all anaesthesiologists-intensive care physicians, whether junior or senior, who are involved in thoracic surgery.
