The book educates readers on advances that have increased the safety of surgery in the open thorax and allowed surgeons to accept higher-risk patients. Topics covered include preoperative assessment for lung cancer surgery, lung isolation for chest surgery, management of one-lung ventilation, anesthesia for new thoracic endoscopic procedures, the future of lung transplantation, airway stents, postthoracotomy analgesia, and anesthesiological considerations for lung volume reduction surgery.
