Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how different types of anesthesia (volatile vs. propofol-based) impact lung health after minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
- Patients were randomly assigned to receive either sevoflurane, desflurane, or propofol, with the primary focus on pulmonary complications within the week after surgery.
- Results showed that those who received volatile anesthetics experienced fewer and less severe pulmonary complications compared to those who received propofol, suggesting a potential benefit of using volatile anesthesia during this type of surgery.
