Polytrauma still represents one of the leading causes of death in the first four decades of life. Septic complications represent the predominant causes of late death in polytrauma patients. Early diagnosis and treatment of infection is associated with an improved clinical outcome and reduced mortality. Several biomarkers have been evaluated for making early diagnosis of sepsis. Current evidence does not support the use of a single biomarker in diagnosing septic complications. Procalcitonin trend was found to be useful in early identification of post-traumatic sepsis.

Background: Intrapericardial pneumonectomy is a complex procedure indicated for large lung tumors where safe dissection of major vascular structures outside the pericardium is unfeasible or when the pericardium itself is invaded. Traditionally managed via open thoracotomy, recent advancements in VATS techniques now allow for intrapericardial pneumonectomy even in cases with extensive tumors or locally advanced disease. In this article, we detail the clinical outcomes and surgical considerations of six patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent VATS intrapericardial pneumonectomy.
