This study on thoracic surgery anesthesia in Togo found high rates of intraoperative complications and postoperative mortality. Anesthetic management involved general anesthesia with one-lung ventilation, highlighting critical care needs.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Thoracic surgery requires specialized anesthetic management.
  • Anesthesia practices in thoracic surgery are emerging in Togo.
  • A multi-skilled anesthetic team is essential for this specialty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the anesthetic management for thoracic surgery.
  • To report on the morbidity associated with thoracic surgery.
  • To evaluate outcomes in a Togolese referral hospital.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, observational study of 25 patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
  • Data collection included pre-anesthetic assessment, surgical, anesthetic, and postoperative details.
  • Study period: June 1 to August 31, 2022, at the national referral hospital in Lomé.

Main Results:

  • General anesthesia with one-lung ventilation (64%) was common.
  • High rates of intraoperative complications: hypotension (80%), shock (56%), hypoxia (24%).
  • Postoperative complications included anemia (20%), pneumonia (12%), with a 12% mortality rate.

Conclusions:

  • General anesthesia with one-lung ventilation is standard for thoracic surgery.
  • Intraoperative cardiovascular complications are frequent.
  • Postoperative mortality in this cohort was notably high, underscoring the need for improved management.
