Background: Nonintubated anesthesia avoids invasive tracheal intubation operations and reduces trauma. in addition, it has advantages in lung surgery in some patients with poor lung function, in line with the concept of rapid recovery. However, few studies have discussed the clinical significance of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) combined with nonintubated anesthesia in single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We conducted a retrospective study to examine the safety and availability of nonintubated anesthesia single-port video-assisted lung surgery (NI-SP-VALS) combined with ERAS programs in patients.

Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study. All patients were preoperatively diagnosed with lung nodules and underwent NI-SP-VALS or intubated anesthesia SP-VALS (I-SP-VALS) combined with ERAS programs between July 2021 and March 2022. Short-term postoperative outcomes were compared in 2 cohorts.

Results: In total, 272 patients were included. Among them, 91 patients received NI-SP-VALS combined with ERAS programs (observation group), and 181 underwent intubation anesthesia (control group). Baseline data were statistically different between the two groups, and 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) matching was used. A total of 73 patients remained in each group after PSM, and baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the 2 cohorts. The time of hospital stay [4.00 (4.00-5.00) 44.50 (0.00-5.75) d; P=0.029] and catheter stay [0.50 (0.20-2.00) 2.00 (2.00-2.00) d; P<0.001] were significantly shorter, the white blood cell count (WBC) [9.45 (8.08-11.30) 11 (8.50-12.80)/L; P=0.009] and the lowest SpO in operation [96.00 (94.00-97.50) 97.00 (95.00-98.50); P=0.035] were also lower in the nonintubated group than those of the intubated group. No differences were observed in variables of intraoperation, other routine blood indexes, postoperative drainage, postoperative medicine use, postoperative symptoms, complications, hospitalization expenses, postoperative follow-up index, or self-assessment of anxiety.

Conclusions: The data after PSM shows that compared with intubated anesthesia, NI-SP-VALS combined with ERAS programs is safe and effective. Nonintubated anesthesia promotes rapid recovery of patients and reduces postoperative inflammatory reactions. Hence, nonintubated anesthesia may conform to the idea of ERAS and has application value in thoracic surgery.

Nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery: myth or reality?

Curr Opin Anaesthesiol

February 2025

Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Emergency, A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino, Torino, Italy.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) by presenting its physiological, technical aspects and recent clinical data from the literature.

Recent Findings: In the last two decades, NIVATS has gained traction as an alternative to traditional intubated thoracic surgery, offering potential benefits in terms of reduced complications, faster recovery times, and improved patient satisfaction. Several approaches to this technique have been described in the literature, mainly divided into the awake patient technique (awake-NIVATS) and the asleep patient technique (asleep-NIVATS).

Background: A proposed new global definition of ARDS seeks to update the Berlin definition and account for nonintubated ARDS and ARDS diagnoses in resource-variable settings.

Research Question: How do ARDS epidemiologic characteristics change with operationalizing the new global definition of ARDS in a resource-limited setting?

Study Design And Methods: We performed a real-use retrospective cohort study among adult patients meeting criteria for the Berlin definition of ARDS or the global definition of ARDS at ICU admission in two public hospitals in the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health, South Africa, from January 2017 through June 2022.

Results: Among 5,760 adults (aged ≥ 18 years) admitted to the ICU, 2,027 patients (35.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the guidance effect of the bispectral index (BIS) on the target plasma concentration (TPC) of propofol required for deep sedation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Second, to identify propofol consumption, recovery time, and adverse events.

Methods: A total of 42 consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis and 43 consecutive patients with healthy livers were enrolled.

Background: The benefit of Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy in the setting of COVID-19-related ARDS is obscure. We performed a multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the impact of iNO on patients with COVID-19 who require respiratory support.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included COVID-19 patients enrolled in the SCCM VIRUS COVID-19 registry who were admitted to different Mayo Clinic sites between March 2020 and June 2022 and required high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), non-invasive ventilation (NIV), or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).
