A Comparative Study Between Regional Anesthesia in Thoracoscopes and the Conventional General Anesthesia

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2020-01-15

Plain-language summary

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is usually performed with general anesthesia and single lung ventilation. However, performing thoracic surgery under awake regional anesthesia has several potential advantages including avoidance of airway trauma and ventilator dependence associated with endotracheal intubation, besides promoting enhanced recovery after surgery and shorter mean hospital stay.
