New Fast-Track Concepts in Thoracic Surgery: Anesthetic Implications

Authors: Morgan Le Guen, Bernard Cholley, Marc Fischler

Published in: Current Anesthesiology Reports | Issue 2/2016

Abstract

Fast-track anesthesia has become the standard of care for many surgical procedures, especially for colectomy. Its practice in cardiac surgery has been extensive mainly for economic reasons. On the other hand, fast-track is less practiced after lung surgery probably because of continuous debate on pleural drainage.
