There continues to be a debate on the indications for and value of the emergency department thoracotomy, especially with regard to the subject of thoracotomy performed by the emergency physician. The current literature does not deal specifically with thoracotomies performed in the emergency department by an emergency physician on trauma patients.

Emergency department thoracotomy
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982The charts of 33 consecutive patients undergoing emergency department thoracotomies between July 1, 1979 and June 30, 1980 were reviewed. Thoracotomies were performed in victims of both blunt and penetrating trauma who had suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and were refractory to the usual methods of resuscitation. Overall survival was 12.1% (4/33). There

Emergency department thoracotomy
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1981Emergency thoracotomy has become a mainstay in the resuscitation of patients with major thoracic injuries. It also is occasionally useful in several other life-threatening conditions. The specific indications for emergency thoracotomy are reviewed, and expeditious thoracotomy in the emergency department, when necessary, is advocated.

Thoracotomy is one the most painful surgical incisions. Surgical exposure to the thoracic cavity causes damage to multiple nociceptive structures in the chest wall and cardiopulmonary viscera. There is a high incidence of both acute and chronic postoperative pain, which can delay recovery and cause long-term disability.

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2016
This article reviews and summarizes the pathophysiology, risk factors, and the management of arrhythmias in patients undergoing noncardiac thoracic surgery.Cardiac arrhythmias are common findings in the perioperative period, particularly with increasing age. They often complicate the course of the patient's recovery after operation.

Pneumocephalus after thoracotomy
Surgical Neurology, 1995Pneumocephalus is a well-known phenomenon in which a fistula between the thoracic cavity and the subarachnoid space is one of its rare etiologies.We report a new case of pneumocephalus after thoracotomy and review eight similar cases in the literature.In all cases, an operation was carried out for an intrathoracic neoplasm located at the apex with ...

Emergency thoracotomy for injury
Injury, 1986Emergency thoracotomy is required in 10-15 per cent of all patients with thoracic injury. Nine specific indications for emergency thoracotomy have been described for injured persons. A variety of incisions is available to the surgeon, and selection of the appropriate incision is based on radiographic and clinical findings.

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Lateral thoracotomies include many different variants with a common final pathway, consisting of an intercostal incision. They are the most frequent incisions in daily thoracic procedures. We will describe the lateral muscle-sparing thoracotomy in the Weissmuller's position which is, according to us, the universal thoracotomy.

Lateral thoracotomies include many different variants with a common final pathway, consisting of an intercostal incision. They are the most frequent incisions in daily thoracic procedures. We will describe the antero-lateral thoracotomy. Although these incisions are seldom used, it should be part of the surgeon's 'general culture'. Surgical techniques,

Anesthetic Management of Thoracotomy
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1987Successful anesthesia for thoracic surgery requires an understanding of the clinical disease and the physiologic changes accompanying the disease, as well as anesthetic agents available for use. The authors discuss selection of appropriate anesthetic drugs, perioperative management considerations, pharmacologic support, intraoperative monitoring and ...
