This book covers recent advances in anesthesia for thoracic surgery, including advances in management of one-lung anesthesia, lung isolation, and lung transplantation. It includes clinical case discussions and tables of detailed anesthetic management.

Principles and Practice of Anesthesia for Thoracic Surgery will serve as an updated comprehensive review covering not only the recent advances, but also topics that haven't been covered in previously published texts: extracorporeal ventilatory support, new advances in chest imaging modalities, lung isolation with a difficult airway, pulmonary thrombo-endarterectomy, and chronic post-thoracotomy pain. Additionally, the book features clinical case discussions at the end of each clinical chapter as well as tables comprising detailed anesthetic management.

The most up-to-date text of thoracic anesthesia on the market Renowned world experts cover leading edge topics and advances not addressed in other volumes, including extracorporeal ventilatory support, new chest imaging modalities, lung isolation with a difficult airway, pulmonary thrombo-endarterectomy, chronic post-thoracotomy pain, management of one-lung anesthesia, lung isolation, lung transplantation, and pharmacologic therapy of pulmonary hypertension Chapters open with summary of Key Points covered and end with clinical case discussions that allow readers to compare their solution with the chapter authors' Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
