The Role of Awake VATS in Diagnosis and Treatment of Pleural Effusions

Abstract: AMAÇ: Video Yardımlı Torakoskopik Cerrahi (VATS) çoğunlukla genel anestezi altında ve çift lümenli endotrakeal tüplerle yapıl-maktadır. Ancak bazı plevral ve pulmoner patolojilerde hastayı genel anestezinin risklerinden korumak için sedasyon ve lokal anestezi ile VATS uygulamaları da yapılabilmektedir. Çalışmamız-da sedoanaljezi ile yaptığımız VATS operasyonlarının torasik patolojilerin tanı ve tedavisindeki rolü değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER:Bu çalışmaya Ocak 2007Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasındaki 5 yıllı… Show more

“…[16,17] In a series of 101 patients who underwent AVATS due to pleural effusion, conversion to general anesthesia was required due to refractory cough in three patients and dense pleural adhesions in one patient. [18] Pompeo et al [19] cited patient's refusal of awake anesthesia and radiologic evidence of extensive pleural adhesions with pleural scarring and calcifications as contraindications for awake bullaplasty, and reported conversion to general anesthesia in one of 39 patients due to severe adhesion. We also observed similar situations in our cases but encountered no complications because the procedure involved only pleural biopsy and all of the operating surgeons were experienced.…”
