Current approaches to anesthetic management in thoracic surgery-An evaluation from the German Thoracic Registry

CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that less invasive thoracic operations are associated with a reduction of invasive anesthetic procedures. As the presented data are descriptive, further studies are required to determine the impact of invasive anesthetic procedures on patient-related outcomes. This evaluation of the anesthetic management in experienced thoracic anesthesiology departments represents the next step towards establishing national quality standards and promoting structural quality in thoracic anesthesia.PMID:35507027 | DOI:10.1007/s00101-022-01093-z
