Thoracoscopy for Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Although the optimal surgical technique is uncertain, bullous resection using staplers in combination with mechanical pleurodesis, chemical pleurodesis and/or staple line coverage is usually undertaken. Currently, patient satisfaction, post- operative pain and other perioperative parameters have significantly improved with advancements in thoracoscopic technology, which include uniportal, needlescopic and nonintubated VATS variants. Ipsilateral recurrences after VATS occur in less than 5% of patients, in which case a redo-VATS is a feasible therapeutical option. Randomized controlled trials are urgently needed to shed light on the best definitive management of SP.

Department of Surgery, National Taiwan University Hospital, No. 7, Chung Shan South Road, Taipei, Taiwan. Email: [email protected]. Objective: Thoracoscopic surgery without endotracheal intubation is a novel technique for diagnosis and treatment of thoracic diseases. This study reported the experience of nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery in a tertiary medical center in Taiwan. Methods: From August 2009 through August 2013, 446 consecutive patients with lung or pleural diseases were treated by nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery. Regional anesthesia was achieved by thoracic epidural anesthesia or internal intercostal blockade. Targeted sedation was performed with propofol infusion to achieve a bispectral index value between 40 and 60. The demographic data and clinical outcomes were evaluated by retrospective chart review. Results: Thoracic epidural anesthesia was used in 290 patients (65.0%) while internal intercostal blockade was used in 156 patients (35.0%). The final diagnosis were primary lung cancer in 263 patients (59.0%), metastatic lung cancer in 38 (8.5%), benign lung tumor in 140 (31.4%), and pneumothorax in 5 (1.1%). The median anesthetic induction time was 30 minutes by thoracic epidural anesthesia and was 10 minutes by internal intercostal blockade. -

Phenotype definition for the Vanderbilt Genome-Electronic Records project Identifying genetics determinants of normal QRS duration (QRSd) Patient population: • Patients with DNA whose first electrocardiogram (ECG) is designated as “normal” and lacking an exclusion criteria. • For this study, case and control are drawn from the same population and analyzed via continuous trait analysis. The only difference will be the QRSd. Hypothetical timeline for a single patient: Notes: • The study ECG is the first normal ECG. • The “Mildly abnormal” ECG cannot be abnormal by presence of heart disease. It can have abnormal rate, be recorded in the presence of Na-channel blocking meds, etc. For instance, a HR >100 is OK but not a bundle branch block. • Y duration = from first entry in the electronic medical record (EMR) until one month following normal ECG • Z duration = most recent clinic visit or problem list (if present) to one week following the normal ECG. Labs values, though, must be +/- 48h from the ECG time Criteria to be included in the analysis: Criteria Source/Method “Normal” ECG must be: • QRSd between 65-120ms ECG calculations • ECG designed as “NORMAL” ECG classification • Heart Rate between 50-100 ECG calculations • ECG Impression must not contain Natural Language Processing (NLP) on evidence of heart disease concepts (see ECG impression. Will exclude all but list below) negated terms (e.g., exclude those with possible, probable, or asserted bundle branch blocks). Should also exclude normalization negations like “LBBB no longer present.” -
