Abstract

ANESTHESIA IN THORACIC SURGERY constitutes a far greater problem than in any other branch of surgery. This is especially true in thoracoplastic collapse of the lung for pulmonary tuberculosis. The limitation of respiratory field following the sudden and permanent collapse of an important portion of the lung, the more or less marked displacement of the mediastinum toward the healthy side which impairs the normal function of the other lung, and the compression exerted upon the heart by the collapsed chest wall produce important disturbances upon both respiratory and circulatory functions.
