Abstract:
The potential for intraoperative bleeding is inherent to the practice of thoracic surgery due to the presence of multiple vital vascular structures, complex anatomy, and constant cardiorespiratory motion. Careful and detailed preoperative evaluation and planning, comprehensive review of imaging studies, and a thorough knowledge of the operative procedure, anatomic relationships, and potential complications are of the highest importance in prevention and avoidance of bleeding complications. Preparation with a clear crisis management plan ensures an effective and expedited response when intraoperative bleeding occurs.
