BOOK: ANESTHESIE POUR LOBECTOMIE
A French educational guide by Ady Aouili about anaesthetic care for patients undergoing surgical removal of a lung lobe. It follows the patient’s journey from preoperative assessment through surgery to postoperative recovery. The book covers: - **Foundations:** lung anatomy, respiratory physiology, and the effects of lobectomy. - **Before surgery:** assessment of operability and respiratory reserve, nutritional evaluation, and patient preparation. - **During surgery:** monitoring, general and regional anaesthesia, lung isolation, protective one-lung ventilation, and management of ventilation problems. - **After surgery:** pain control, immediate postoperative care, and early and delayed complications. Its central focus is how to anticipate the challenges of lung resection, maintain adequate oxygenation during surgery, and support recovery afterward. The content is particularly relevant to anaesthesiology residents and clinicians involved in thoracic surgery.
