Perioperative Hemodynamic Monitoring Through Collaborative Approaches Among Surgeons and Anaesthetists to Minimize Surgical Complications in Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Background: Perioperative hemodynamic monitoring is crucial in reducing surgical complications, particularly in thoracic surgery where collaboration among surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other specialists is essential. Effective management during the perioperative period can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Methods: This narrative review synthesizes recent advancements in perioperative management, focusing on collaborative approaches between surgical and anesthetic teams. Key areas examined include double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation techniques, postoperative pain management strategies, delirium prevention, and the formation of cohesive perioperative teams.

Results: Innovations in DLT intubation, including the use of video-assisted laryngoscopes, have improved success rates and minimized airway injuries. The review highlights the importance of multimodal analgesia techniques, such as epidural analgesia and regional nerve blocks, in enhancing postoperative recovery and reducing complications. Emphasis is placed on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, which advocate for early mobilization and efficient pain management to optimize patient recovery.

Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach to perioperative care, integrating advanced monitoring techniques and collaborative strategies, is vital for improving outcomes in thoracic surgery. Continued research and implementation of best practices are essential for enhancing patient safety and recovery.
