Preoperative anemia is frequent and is associated with poor patient outcomes and higher transfusion rates. Perioperative blood transfusion is also associated with poor outcomes. These observations justify efforts to increase hemoglobin levels in anemic patients before surgeries with a moderate to high bleeding risk.

Patients with cancer who receive allogeneic red blood cell transfusions are at risk of adverse reactions of varying severity. One of these reactions is immunomodulation, also known as transfusion-related immunomodulation. With the exact mechanism of transfusion related immunomodulation being unclear, storage lesions (both the cellular and cytokine component) are considered a major contributor.

The utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in complex thoracic surgery has become more frequent in recent years due to advances in technology, increased availability, and improved outcomes. ECMO has emerged as a vital tool to facilitate thoracic surgery for patients who would have otherwise been deemed unsuitable candidates. It has redefined the boundaries of surgical possibility where conventional methods fall short.

Innovations and challenges for lung separation or isolation have evolved during the last few years. In this chapter, we present the up-to-date, robust evidence available during the previous five years supporting the positions of the different devices, techniques, and tricks for their use in adult and pediatric patients undergoing various thoracic surgical interventions. Additionally, we presented an update on lung isolation in patients with airway difficulty and the suggested training level to master these techniques.
