Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication after thoracic surgery, especially after complex surgeries involving general anesthesia, such as lung transplantation. Improving anesthetic strategies may offer an effective approach to reducing the incidence of POCD. Non-intubated anesthesia has emerged as a transformative advancement in thoracic surgery and anesthesia.

However, the safety and feasibility of ESL after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy remain unclear.
Methods: Between 2019 and 2023, 94 patients with central non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, followed by pneumonectomy, ESL, or SSL, in 2 high-volume centers.
Non-intubated tracheal resection and reconstruction for a tracheal tumor in an 8-year-old child.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Article Synopsis
- Non-intubated anesthesia can be effectively used for tracheal reconstruction in children, as demonstrated in a case involving an 8-year-old with a benign tumor.
- The procedure involved the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and a bilateral cervical plexus block to manage anesthesia while allowing the patient to breathe spontaneously.
- The results showed successful reconstruction with proper oxygenation throughout the surgery, suggesting this approach could be a viable alternative for similar pediatric surgeries.
