Anesthesia for Lung Surgery

Anesthesia for lung surgery ensures that patients remain pain-free and unconscious during the procedure. It typically involves administering medications through an IV and inhaled gases that block pain and awareness. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient's vital signs and adjusts the anesthesia as needed. Since lung surgeries can affect breathing, special attention is given to maintaining adequate oxygen levels. Sometimes, a breathing tube is inserted to help with ventilation. The goal is to provide a safe and comfortable experience, allowing surgeons to focus on the complex work necessary for lung health.
