Abstract
This chapter discusses the anaesthetic management of thoracic surgery. It begins with general principles of thoracic surgery, including isolation of the lungs, one-lung ventilation, and providing analgesia for thoracic surgery. Surgical procedures covered include rigid bronchoscopy and bronchial stent insertion; mediastinoscopy; wedge resection; lobectomy; pneumonectomy; thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS); drainage of empyema and decortications; lung volume reduction surgery and bullectomy; repair of bronchopleural fistula; pleurectomy and pleurodesis; oesophagectomy and surgical management of chest injuries.
