Background. Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) guided by functional parameters of preload, such as stroke volume variation (SVV), seems to optimize hemodynamics and possibly improves clinical outcome. However, this strategy is believed to be rather fluid aggressive, and, furthermore, during surgery requiring thoracotomy, the ability of SVV to predict volume responsiveness has raised some controversy. So far it is not known whether GDT is associated with pulmonary fluid overload and a deleterious reduction in pulmonary function in thoracic surgery requiring one-lung-ventilation (OLV). Therefore, we assessed the perioperative course of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and -ratio during and after thoracic surgery requiring lateral thoracotomy and OLV to evaluate the hypothesis that fluid therapy guided by SVV results in pulmonary fluid overload.Methods. A total of 27 patients (group T) were enrolled in this prospective study with 11 patients undergoing lung surgery (group L) and 16 patients undergoing esophagectomy (group E). Goal-directed fluid management was guided by SVV (SVV < 10%). Measurements were performed directly after induction of anesthesia (baseline—BL), 15 minutes after implementation OLV (OLVimpl15), and 15 minutes after termination of OLV (OLVterm15). In addition, postoperative measurements were performed at 6 (6postop), 12 (12postop), and 24 (24postop) hours after surgery. EVLWI was measured at all predefined steps. The -ratio was determined at each point during mechanical ventilation (group L: BL-OLVterm15; group E: BL-24postop).Results. In all patients (group T), there was no significant change in EVLWI during the observation period (BL: 7.8 ± 2.5, 24postop: 8.1 ± 2.4 mL/kg). A subgroup analysis for group L and group E also did not reveal significant changes of EVLWI. The -ratio decreased significantly during the observation period (group L: BL: 462 ± 140, OLVterm15: 338 ± 112 mmHg; group E: BL: 389 ± 101, 24postop: 303 ± 74 mmHg) but remained >300 mmHg except during OLV.Conclusions. SVV-guided fluid management in thoracic surgery requiring lateral thoracotomy and one-lung ventilation does not result in pulmonary fluid overload. Although oxygenation was reduced, pulmonary function remained within a clinically acceptable range.

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Background: In the last years thoracic surgery developed in greater extent with equipments and techniques in one lung ventilation. Still general anesthesia in one lung ventilation approved as gold standard. In thoracic surgery most performed surgeries are plerural decortication and lung biopsy. Avoidance of intubation in Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) procedures gains us some advantages in postoperative period; a better respiratory parameters, survival and morbidity mortality rates, reduced hospitalization time and costs, reduced early stress hormone and immune response.  Methods: In this study, we reported our experience of 24 consecutive patients undergoing VATS with Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia (TEA) between December 2015 through July 2016 to evaluate the feasibility, safety and indication of this innovative technique whether it will be a gold standart in thoracic surgeries or not in the future.Results: Operation procedures included wedge resection in 11 (46%) patients (eight of them for pneumothorax, three of them for diagnosis), in 10 (42%) patients pleural biopsy (eight of them used talc pleurodesis), in two (8%) patients air leak control with fibrin glue and in one (4%) patient bilateral thoracal sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis.  We used T4-5 TEA space for 17 (72%) of patients, while we used T4-6 TEA space for 7 (28%) of patients. TEA block reached the desired level after the mean 26.4±4.3 minutes (range 21-34 min). There was no occurrence of hypotension and bradycardia during and after TEA. One (4%) patient required conversion to general anesthesia and tracheal intubation because of significant diaphragmatic contractions and hyperpne. Conversion to thoracotomy was not needed in any patient.Conclusions: We conclude that nVATS procedure with aid of TEA is feasibile and safety with minimal adverse events. The procedure can have such advantages as early mobilization, opening of early oral intake, early discharge, patient satisfaction, low pain level. Nevertheless, there is a need for randomized controlled trials involving wider case series on the subject.
