[Anesthetic management for partial lobectomy in a postpneumonectomy patient].
We report a postpneumonectomy patient who underwent partial lobectomy. A 74-year-old man was scheduled for right partial lobectomy because of metastatic lung cancer. He had undergone left pneumonectomy 19 months before because of lung cancer. Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous propofol and thoracic epidural block. During surgery, respiration was maintained with mechanical and intermittent manual ventilation. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support and high frequency jet ventilation were at hand but were not needed. There was no intraoperative hypoxia and the postoperative course was uneventful.
