The Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum is commonly associated with severe postoperative pain. belief that thoracic epidural offers the best pain control has recently come under scrutiny after several studies have shown patient controlled anaesthesia (PCA) to be just as effective. Nevertheless, centres who shifted an exclusively PCA regime exist in minority. We conducted a retrospective survey all patients underwent at Heart Hospital, London, where are managed using PCA. study...

Abstract Introduction Respiratory failure has historically been the major cause of mortality after elective lung resections. With improved intubation using fiber-optic scopes, better preoperative respiratory risk assessment, more advanced anesthetic single ventilation, and minimally invasive surgical technique, this may have changed. Our objective was to assess main causes over past 10 years in patients undergoing surgery a UK center. Materials Methods A retrospective unit data search made...

Abstract As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most institutions have changed way patients are assessed or investigated. Using novel non-contact technology, it is possible to continuously monitor lung function peri-operative undergoing cardiothoracic procedures. Primarily, this results in increased patient surveillance, and therefore, safety. Many centres, globally, starting use structured light plethysmography (SLP) providing non-aerosol generating procedure place traditional spirometry....

We present a case of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) in 56-year-old woman, who presented to our emergency department with 7-day history exertional dyspnoea. Due profound haemodynamic compromise, embolism (PE) was suspected, and the patient underwent thrombolysis on admission. A subsequent computerized tomography angiogram revealed extensive bilateral PE. Incidentally, 1.3 cm lesion within right upper lobe, associated pleural tethering, identified....
