Employing sole epidural or local anaesthesia in fully awake patients renders many thoracic surgical procedures doable with less invasiveness and general anaesthesia related adverse effects can be avoided. This, in turn, facilitates fast track surgery and improves cost-effectiveness of treatment procedures. The book explains issues relevant to awake thoracic surgery including postoperative immunologic and stress-hormone responses, lung volume reduction surgery, pulmonary resections and thymectomy.ChestSurgeryChestSurgery.617.9/6617.96Pompeo Eugenio1508902MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790163903321Awake thoracic surgery3740423UNINA
