Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing lung resection are at risk of perioperative complications, many of which necessitate unplanned critical care unit admission in the postoperative period. We sought to characterize this population, providing an up-to-date estimate of the incidence of unplanned critical care admission, and to assess critical care and hospital stay, resource use, mortality, and outcomes. METHODS A multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing lung resection in participating UK hospitals over 2 years. A comprehensive dataset was recorded for each critical care admission (defined as the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation and/or renal replacement therapy), in addition to a simplified dataset in all patients undergoing lung resection during the study period. Multivariable regression analysis was used to identify factors independently associated with critical care outcome. RESULTS A total of 11,208 patients underwent lung resection in 16 collaborating centers during the study period, and 253 patients (2.3%) required unplanned critical care admission with a median duration of stay of 13 (4-28) days. The predominant indication for admission was respiratory failure (68.1%), with 77.8% of patients admitted during the first 7 days following surgery. Eighty-seven (34.4%) died in critical care. On multivariable regression, only the diagnosis of right ventricular dysfunction and the need for both mechanical ventilation and renal-replacement therapy were independently associated with critical care survival; this model, however, had poor predictive value. CONCLUSIONS Although resource-intensive and subject to prolonged stay, following unplanned admission to critical care after lung resection outcomes are good for many patients; 65.6% of patients survived to hospital discharge, and 62.7% were discharged to their own home.

Abstract
The introduction of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) techniques has led to a new approach in thoracic surgery. VATS is performed by inserting a thoracoscope through a small incisions in the chest wall, thus maximizing the preservation of muscle and tissue. Because of its low rate of morbidity and mortality, VATS is currently the technique of choice in most thoracic procedures. Lung resection by VATS reduces prolonged air leaks, arrhythmia, pneumonia, postoperative pain and inflammatory markers. This reduction in postoperative complications shortens hospital length of stay, and is particularly beneficial in high-risk patients with low tolerance to thoracotomy. Compared with conventional thoracotomy, the oncological results of VATS surgery are similar or even superior to those of open surgery. This aim of this multidisciplinary position statement produced by the thoracic surgery working group of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation (SEDAR), the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), and the Spanish Association of Physiotherapy (AEF) is to standardize and disseminate a series of perioperative anaesthesia management guidelines for patients undergoing VATS lung resection surgery. Each recommendation is based on an in-depth review of the available literature by the authors. In this document, the care of patients undergoing VATS surgery is organized in sections, starting with the surgical approach, and followed by the three pillars of anaesthesia management: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anaesthesia.

Abstract
Introduction Anesthetic care in patients undergoing thoracic surgery presents specific challenges that require a multidisciplinary approach to management. There remains a need for standardized, evidence-based, continuously updated guidelines for perioperative care in these patients. Methods A multidisciplinary expert group, the Perioperative Anesthesia in Thoracic Surgery (PACTS) group, was established to develop recommendations for anesthesia practice in patients undergoing elective lung resection for lung cancer. The project addressed three key areas: preoperative patient assessment and preparation, intraoperative management (surgical and anesthesiologic care), and postoperative care and discharge. A series of clinical questions was developed, and literature searches were performed to inform discussions around these areas, leading to the development of 69 recommendations. The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were graded using the United States Preventive Services Task Force criteria. Results Recommendations for intraoperative care focus on airway management, and monitoring of vital signs, hemodynamics, blood gases, neuromuscular blockade, and depth of anesthesia. Recommendations for postoperative care focus on the provision of multimodal analgesia, intensive care unit (ICU) care, and specific measures such as chest drainage, mobilization, noninvasive ventilation, and atrial fibrillation prophylaxis. Conclusions These recommendations should help clinicians to improve intraoperative and postoperative management, and thereby achieve better postoperative outcomes in thoracic surgery patients. Further refinement of the recommendations can be anticipated as the literature continues to evolve.

Abstract
Postoperative management after major lung surgery is critical. This study evaluates risk factors for predicting mandatory intensive care unit (ICU) admission immediately after major lung resection. We retrospectively reviewed patients for whom the surgeon requested an ICU bed before major lung resection surgery. Patients were classified into three groups. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, and a clinical nomogram was constructed. Among 340 patients, 269, 50, and 21 were classified into the no need for ICU, mandatory ICU admission, and late-onset complication groups, respectively. Predictive postoperative diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (47.2 (interquartile range (IQR) 43.3–65.7)% versus vs. 67.8 (57.1–79.7)%; p = 0.003, odds ratio (OR) 0.969, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95–0.99), intraoperative blood loss (400.00 (250.00–775.00) mL vs. 100.00 (50.00–250.00) mL; p = 0.040, OR 1.001, 95% CI 1.000–1.002), and open thoracotomy (p = 0.030, OR 2.794, 95% CI 1.11–7.07) were significant predictors for mandatory ICU admission. The risk estimation nomogram demonstrated good accuracy in estimating the risk of mandatory ICU admission (concordance index 83.53%). In order to predict the need for intensive care after major lung resection, preoperative and intraoperative factors need to be considered.

Association between anaesthetic technique and unplanned admission to intensive care after thoracic lung resection surgery: the second Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care (ACTACC) National Audit. Anaesthesia 2019; 74:1121-1129.

Abstract
Unplanned intensive care admission is a devastating complication of lung resection and is associated with significantly increased mortality. We carried out a two-year retrospective national multicentre cohort study to investigate the influence of anaesthetic and analgesic technique on the need for unplanned postoperative intensive care admission. All patients undergoing lung resection surgery in 16 thoracic surgical centres in the UK in the calendar years 2013 and 2014 were included. We defined critical care admission as the unplanned need for either tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or renal replacement therapy, and sought an association between mode of anaesthesia (total intravenous anaesthesia vs. volatile) and analgesic technique (epidural vs. paravertebral) and need for intensive care admission. A total of 253 out of 11,208 patients undergoing lung resection in the study period had an unplanned admission to intensive care in the postoperative period, giving an incidence of intensive care unit admission of 2.3% (95%CI 2.0-2.6%). Patients who had an unplanned admission to intensive care unit had a higher mortality (29.00% vs. 0.03%, p < 0.001), and hospital length of stay was increased (26 vs. 6 days, p < 0.001). Across univariate, complete case and multiple imputation (multivariate) models, there was a strong and significant effect of both anaesthetic and analgesic technique on the need for intensive care admission. Patients receiving total intravenous anaesthesia (OR 0.50 (95%CI 0.34-0.70)), and patients receiving epidural analgesia (OR 0.56 (95%CI 0.41-0.78)) were less likely to have an unplanned admission to intensive care after thoracic surgery. This large retrospective study suggests a significant effect of both anaesthetic and analgesic technique on outcome in patients undergoing lung resection. We must emphasise that the observed association does not directly imply causation, and suggest that well-conducted, large-scale randomised controlled trials are required to address these fundamental questions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this retrospective case-control study was to investigate preoperative risk factors for unexpected postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in patients undergoing non-emergent surgical procedures in a tertiary medical centre. METHODS A medical record review of adult patients undergoing elective non-cardiac and non-transplant major surgical procedures during the period of January 2011 through December 2015 in the operating rooms of a large university hospital was carried out. The primary outcome assessed was unexpected ICU admission, with mortality as a secondary outcome. Demographic data, length of hospital and ICU stay and preoperative comorbidities were also obtained as exposure variables. Propensity score matching was then employed to yield a study and control group. RESULTS The group of patients who met inclusion criteria in the study and the control group that did not require ICU admission were obtained, each containing 1191 patients after propensity matching. Patients with acute and/or chronic kidney injury (odds ratio (OR) 2.20 [1.75-2.76]), valvular heart disease (OR: 1.94 [1.33-2.85]), peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (OR: 1.41 [1.02-1.94]) and congestive heart failure (CHF) (OR: 1.80 [1.31-2.46]) were all associated with increased unexpected ICU admission. History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) (OR: 3.03 [1.31-7.01]) and acute and/or chronic kidney injury (OR: 1.62 [1.12-2.35]) were associated with increased mortality in all patients; CVA was also associated with increased mortality (OR: 3.15 [1.21-8.20]) specifically in the ICU population. CONCLUSIONS CHF, acute/chronic kidney injury, PVD and valve disease were significantly associated with increased unexpected ICU admission; patients with CVA suffered increased mortality when admitted to the ICU.
