Ventilation involves the entry and exit of air from the lungs, while perfusion involves the flow of blood through alveolar pulmonary capillaries. Both are necessary for the diffusion of oxygen into and carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream. During thoracic surgery, the ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) relationship is disrupted by induction of general anesthesia, lateral decubitus positioning, one-lung ventilation, and the open chest. Despite ventilation/perfusion alterations, severe hypoxia is usually avoided with the aid of several intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This chapter will delve into the changing V/Q relationship that occurs during thoracic surgery; modifying factors, including hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and position, among others; and strategies to address hypoxia intraoperatively.","PeriodicalId":109583,"journal":{"name":"Thoracic Anesthesia Procedures","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127628676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anesthetic management of these cases depends on the individual’s risk and symptomology. Anesthesia can range from standard general to awake cannulation for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation depending on severity of presentation and extent of airway and cardiovascular compromise. It is crucial to avoid an “intubate, cannot ventilate” situation or cardiovascular collapse. Patients who present with the superior vena cava syndrome can be particularly challenging. The goal of this chapter is to describe a case-based approach to anterior mediastinal masses focused on the ABCs. By reviewing the etiology of mediastinal masses, examining the presentation of symptoms, exploring the pathophysiology and the risks to the ABCs, the authors emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to care for these patients effectively.","PeriodicalId":109583,"journal":{"name":"Thoracic Anesthesia Procedures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116748459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These diagnostic imaging techniques allow clinicians the opportunity to gain insight into a patient’s unique anatomy and, based on these findings, prepare for a more appropriate patient-centered course of treatment based on these findings. Thoracic radiology is an extensive subject with a long list of potential pathology that can occur within the chest.
