Anesthesia for selected procedures.
This article reviews selected procedures for which a particularly close working relationship between the surgeon and the anesthesiologist is essential for patient safety. Anesthetic considerations for upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies, bronchoscopy for aspirated foreign bodies, resection of mediastinal masses, thoracotomies for procedures requiring one-lung anesthesia, and surgery for burn patients are reviewed.
