Synthesizes current best practices for esophagectomy management; leaves open whether standardized implementation of these per.
Esophagectomy is a distinctive and technically demanding operation. Perioperative care in patients to be submitted to esophagectomy should be individualized since intraoperative course may influence morbidity and mortality. W e reviewed esophagectomy-related concepts of interest to the anesthesiologist. Surgical technique, Perianesthetic monitoring, intubation, ventilation, aspiration prevention and extubation, fluid management, pain control, and intraoperative complications are discussed from a surgeon’s perspective. Important Esophagectomy-related concepts of interest to the anesthesiologist from a surgeon’s perspective are: (a) close communication between surgeons and anesthesiologists, especially during the mediastinal dissection, (b) fluid restriction, (c) thoracic epidural analgesia, and (d) extubation in the operating room.
