Airway collapse hinders recovery in bronchoscopy therapy for postintubation tracheal stenosis patients
ConclusionThe presence of malacia or collapse in patients with PITS was associated with increased perioperative complications following bronchoscopic interventional therapy, and significantly reduced the long-term cure rate compared to patients with pure tracheal stenosis.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry on 06/12/2021.

A case report and anesthetic implications of situs inversus totalis in video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection
CONCLUSION: Patients with rare clinical conditions and backgrounds may require surgical and anesthetic intervention. The authors describe important anesthetic considerations of preoperative evaluation, airway management, cardiac monitoring, and vascular access that should be noted and taken into account for patients with SIT. Proper preparation, planning, and communication allow for patients with SIT to safely undergo surgical procedures.PMID:38576975 | PMC:PMC10990401 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001895 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
