Handbook of Perioperative Care in General Thoracic Surgery > General Surgery

Here's quick, portable guidance on the most common perioperative problems encountered in thoracic surgery. Succinct discussions explore preoperative assessment, intraoperative care, post-operative care, complications, management of surgical challenges, and more. An outline format, with abundant tables and original illustra-tions, makes essential clinical knowledge easy to find and apply.

1. Multidisciplinary care of the thoracic surgical patient
2. Preoperative assessment
Assessment of pulmonary reserve Assessment of cardiac function Assessment of
esophageal function
3. Specific preoperative assessment
Assessment of technical resectability of lung cancer Assessment of the patient
with a mediastinal mass Assessment of the patient with a chest wall mass
Assessment of the patient with an elevated hemidiaphragm Management of the
patient with possible airway obstruction Assessment of the patient with a
pleural disorder Assessment of technical resectability of esophageal cancer
Assessment of the patient with a solitary pulmonary module Assessment of the
patient with pulmonary metastases
4. Rehabilitation and preparation for a general thoracic surgical procedure
5. Intraoperative care
Bronchoscopy by surgeons Principles of anesthesia for pulmonary resection
Principles of anesthesia for the patient with an anterior mediastinal mass
Airway management during tracheal resection Thoracic Anatomy Positioning &
Incisions Principles of videothoracoscopy Prevention of postoperative
complications after pulmonary surgery Prevention of postoperative complications
after esophageal surgery Pleural drainage after thoracic procedures
6. Principles of postoperative care
Monitoring Pain control Fluid management Use of bronchodilators, antibiotics,
anticoagulants, and other drugs
7. Management of postoperative complications after pulmonary surgery
Atelectasis, pneumonia Respiratory failure Management of the patient under
