Abstract
Non-intubated thoracic surgery is a recently reintroduced concept as an alternative for general anaesthesia, muscle relaxation and one-lung positive pressure ventilation. This concept is gaining popularity because there are data suggesting that non-intubated anaesthesia is safe and can be used with growing experience not only for young and fit, but also for higher risk patients.
The purpose of the presentation is to describe a short history of non-intubated anaesthesia at our hospital. We would like to share with the audience our first experiences and encountered difficulties following completion of ten cases.
At the end of the presentation there is our updated non-intubated anaesthesia manual. The update was made following our participation in clinical training program at National Taiwan University Hospital. Because non-intubated anaesthesia for thoracic surgery is a new procedure in our practise the crisis resource management is also attached.

Abstract
Nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery (NITS) has been extensively used in the
recent decade to ensure acceptable postoperative outcomes with preserved
respiratory function and without residual muscle relaxation and airway trauma.
In contrast to the potential adverse effects of intubated general anaesthesia,
NITS may result in a more complete physiological, immunological and
neuromuscular recovery after surgery, reducing morbidity, and shortening
hospital stay. Perioperative anaesthetic management presents itself as a fresh
issue for the iatrogenic open pneumothorax, which is intended for ipsilateral
lung collapse to create a steady surgical field, and the ensuing physiologic
consequences involving both ventilatory and hemodynamic perspectives. With
appropriate monitoring, meticulous employment of regional anaesthesia, targeted
sedation, vagal block, and ventilatory support, NITS is proved to be a safe
alternative to the conventional intubated general anaesthesia as an ideal
treatment of choice for early lung cancer patients.

Introduction: Video assisted thoracoscopic
surgery (VATS) has became frequently used and widely accepted procedure in the
thoracic surgery. Conventionally, isolated lung ventilation has been performed
by the aid of double lumen tubes (DLT) or bronchial blockers (BB) [1].
Nevertheless, a novel anaesthetic approach has developed during the last decade,
when intravenous anaesthesia combined with regional anaesthetic techniques was
used without intubation (NITS) and with the maintenance of spontaneous
breathing, applied mainly for biopsy, small anatomical resections and
mediastinal tumour removal. The theoretical benefit of this technique is
avoiding the potential harmful effect of mechanical ventilation [2].
Methods:
The NITS method has been used in out institute as a routine for complete
anatomical resections since January 2017. Anaesthesia is induced and maintained
with target control infusion of propofol. Depth of anaesthesia is monitored by
Bispectral Index targeting a value of 40-60. Spontaneous breathing was preserved
and airway secured by laryngeal mask during NITS procedure. Unilateral vagal
blockade and paravertebral blockade were performed by the surgeon.
Results
and Discussion: Over a period of 16 months 123 patients were involved, 106
undergone NITS and 17 patients had conversion (planned and unplanned) to OLV or
non intubated thoracotomy. According to our experience if conversion is needed
due to surgical not anaesthetical problems, intubation is not the only way to
continue the operation. The other option is the non intubated thoracotomy added
with extra regional truncal block.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that
NITS is at least a non-inferior alternative of OLV and may also provide benefits
for patients undergoing lobectomy or other major pulmonary resections.
