Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy Using Pulse Pressure Variation in Thoracic Surgery Requiring One-Lung Ventilation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

: Intraoperative fluid management based on pulse pressure variation has shown potential to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and improve clinical outcomes in various surgical settings. However, its efficacy and safety have not been assessed in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation. : Patients scheduled for pulmonary lobectomy using uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery approach were randomly assigned to two groups.

Difficult intubation in ENT patient: Simultaneous videolaryngoscopy with flexible bronchoscopy. A combined approach. Case report.

Introduction: Difficult intubation is the situation when a skilled anesthetist has difficulties to manage airway using face mask, laryngoscopy, supraglottic device, tracheal intubation, surgery. Videolaryngoscope and flexible fibroscope (FFS) represent valid alternatives for difficult airway management, with some limitations. However, literature lacks of studies about the efficacy of the combined use of videolaryngoscope and FFS.

The Efficacy of Continuous Serratus Anterior and Erector Spinae Plane Blocks vs Intercostal Nerve Block in Uniportal-Vats Surgery: A Propensity-Matched Prospective Trial.

Background: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of continuous erector spinae plane block(c-ESPB) and serratus anterior plane block(c-SAPB) versus the intercostal nerve block (ICNB) in Uniportal-VATS in terms of pain control, drug consumption, and complications.

Methods: Ninety-three consecutive patients, undergone one of the three peripheral nerve blocks after Uniportal-VATS, were prospectively enrolled. A 1:1 propensity score matching was used to minimize bias.
