Fast-tracking pulmonary resections

Abstract: Most patients who undergo elective pulmonary resection can be extubated immediately after the operation, go directly to their room and avoid the intensive care unit, be discharged on postoperative day 3 or 4, and have minimal morbidity and mortality with high satisfaction both at discharge and at the 2-week follow-up contact. Techniques that seem to accomplish this include the following: the use of a water seal, removal of epidural catheters on postoperative day 2, early chest tube management, treatment of per… Show more

“…In order to decrease the incidence of ALI after OLV and to prevent the respiratory complications after thoracic surgery, protective ventilation [PV; mainly including VTs of 6 mL/predicted body weight (PBW) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH 2 O] is recommended during OLV (2,3).…”

“…[17,19] As "fast-track" operative managements and discharges are gaining popularity lately, researchers are concentrating more on shortening the postoperative fasting period, some even advocating that immediate oral intake increases postoperative comfort, without causing extra nausea or vomiting. [20][21][22] Latest meta-analyses give grade A recommendation for similar early postoperative resuming of drinking, both for adults and children with evidence level of 1++. [23,24] In regard of these findings, we attempted to create a routine postoperative schedule for thoracotomy patients.…”

“…O uso seletivo da UTI foi um aspecto destacado como medida fundamental para o sucesso do protocolo para redução do tempo de internação implementado por Cerfolio e colaboradores. 6 Este grupo estabeleceu um protocolo que objetivava a alta em torno do 4° ou 5° dia de pós-operatório de ressecções pulmonares, em que o paciente não apenas estava ao par dessa meta como a família foi instruída sobre as ações importantes, tal como receber o paciente no quarto oriundo diretamente do centro cirúrgico. A maioria dos pacientes prescindiu da UTI e, apesar da via de acesso rotineira tenha sido a toracotomia póstero-lateral sem preservação do grande dorsal, a média do tempo de internação foi de quatro dias -65% dos pacientes obtiveram alta no 4° dia ou mais cedo.…”
