“…The team used data from CT scans to develop the three-dimensional airway printing and converted it into a virtual reality bronchoscopy. Following the planning and rehearsal processes, the team was able to perform successful isolation and ventilation of the patient’s left lung [ 155 ]. More single-patient case studies were reported in the literature and focused on the management of the difficult pediatric airway in Jarcho–Levin syndrome [ 156 ] and pre-anesthesia planning in the patient after total laryngectomy [ 157 ].…”

Medicine is a rapidly-evolving discipline, with progress picking up pace with each passing decade. This constant evolution results in the introduction of new tools and methods, which in turn occasionally leads to paradigm shifts across the affected medical fields. The following review attempts to showcase how 3D printing has begun to reshape and improve processes across various medical specialties and where it has the potential to make a significant impact. The current state-of-the-art, as well as real-life clinical applications of 3D printing, are reflected in the perspectives of specialists practicing in the selected disciplines, with a focus on pre-procedural planning, simulation (rehearsal) of non-routine procedures, and on medical education and training. A review of the latest multidisciplinary literature on the subject offers a general summary of the advances enabled by 3D printing. Numerous advantages and applications were found, such as gaining better insight into patient-specific anatomy, better pre-operative planning, mock simulated surgeries, simulation-based training and education, development of surgical guides and other tools, patient-specific implants, bioprinted organs or structures, and counseling of patients. It was evident that pre-procedural planning and rehearsing of unusual or difficult procedures and training of medical professionals in these procedures are extremely useful and transformative.

“…A previous study reported the use of 3D printing and virtual reality to develop a personalized airway plan for a 7.5-year-old child [ 193 ], which allowed accurate elucidation of the child’s airway structure and improved the safety and success of the procedure. Three-dimensional printing allows visualization of the oral nerve alignment and anesthetization of specific oral regions, which could reduce patient discomfort, the risk of nerve injury, mandibular anesthesia failure, and the total anesthetic dose [ 194 ].…”

There has been increasing interest and rapid developments in precision medicine, which is a new medical concept and model based on individualized medicine with the joint application of genomics, bioinformatics engineering, and big data science. By applying numerous emerging medical frontier technologies, precision medicine could allow individualized and precise treatment for specific diseases and patients. This article reviews the application and progress of advanced technologies in the anesthesiology field, in which nanotechnology and genomics can provide more personalized anesthesia protocols, while 3D printing can yield more patient-friendly anesthesia supplies and technical training materials to improve the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making in anesthesiology. The objective of this manuscript is to analyze the recent scientific evidence on the application of nanotechnology in anesthesiology. It specifically focuses on nanomedicine, precision medicine, and clinical anesthesia. In addition, it also includes genomics and 3D printing. By studying the current research and advancements in these advanced technologies, this review aims to provide a deeper understanding of the potential impact of these advanced technologies on improving anesthesia techniques, personalized pain management, and advancing precision medicine in the field of anesthesia.

“…4 Virtual reality simulators and 3-dimensional (3D) airway model printout can be useful in planning airway management in cases with suspected difficulties to avoid unnecessary trial and error in choosing airway equipment. [27][28][29][30] Auscultation to confirm appropriate positioning of equipment used for OLV (DLT, BB) should be avoided. It may be difficult to use a stethoscope when wearing full PPE.…”

Anesthesia for thoracic surgery requires specialist intervention to provide adequate operating conditions and one-lung ventilation. The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndromeÀassociated coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted by aerosol and droplet spread. Because of its virulence, there is a risk of transmission to healthcare workers if appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may show no clinical signs at the early stages of the disease or even remain asymptomatic for the whole course of the disease. Despite the lack of symptoms, they may be able to transfer the virus. Unfortunately, during current COVID-19 testing procedures, about 30% of tests are associated with a false-negative result. For these reasons, standard practice is to assume all patients are COVID-19 positive regardless of swab results. Here, the authors present the recommendations produced by the Israeli Society of Anesthesiologists for use in thoracic anesthesia for elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic for both the general population and COVID-19Àconfirmed patients. The objective of these recommendations is to make changes to some routine techniques in thoracic anesthesia to augment patients' and the medical staff's safety.
