This document discusses crisis management during non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NI-VATS). It outlines several potential crisis situations including hypoxemia, respiratory acidosis, coughing, bleeding, and the need for conversion to general anesthesia or open thoracotomy. The author advocates for training in crisis resource management (CRM) principles including anticipation of issues, allocation of attention, and exercising leadership. Simulation is recommended to practice non-technical skills. Adhering to CRM processes and having experienced teams can help prevent crises during NI-VATS.

42. CRM in NI-VATS: Clinical and critical situations
Conversion to open thoracotomy and GA
Moderate to major bleeding

clamp, primary suture, reconstruction)

45. CRM in NI-VATS: Clinical and critical situations
Conversión to VATS multiportal
Adhesions lung to chest wall > 50% surface
Large tumors (central and anterior)hilar structures
Non-adequate lung collapse
Mild bleeding
Conversion to open thoracotomy
Impossibility of nodule palpation through the single-incision
46. Conclusions
NI-VATS is a potential source of crisis situations
Train and Follow the CRM principles
Simulation essential learning non-technical skills
Training the lateral intubation is necessary
Everybody “feels” as part of the team
My presentation I am anesthesiologist of Thoracic anesthesia and Surgical Critical Care. Hospital 900 beds from Alicante Spain…..We have lot of things in common…..Sunny and hot
Pensar en algo gracioso “Caer bien para empezar”
Thank you very much for the invitation, for me is a great honor to be here. My topic is Crisis
َباحُ الخَير
Buenas tardes

Ljungqvist O,
All of the people who are here have managed
Lots of: people, things to do, monitors
Cognitive block
The one who comes has an open mind
Medical shool. That´s enough??
There is an increased interested in the way we manage the Crisis situacions. Like the policeman they have to train them selfves to manage a kidnaping
NTK are very important in our job We work with a lot of people, .nurses surgeons. The rhird leg with kwonlege and skils
Specially in our work. It´s not so important for a Dermatohlogist
Habilidades no técnicas
The basis were made by Prof Gaba in stanford 20 years ago. We will describe them one by one
The first thing to do was to implement the CRM principles in a specific surgery as is the NIVATS
This is very obious but sometimes is not been done
There is a special issue
Bare in mind that we only included patients candidates to NIVATS
The first thing to know is that this is not more difficult than do it in the supine position. Second, the lateral position of the patient is very useful for the entire team. The patient can put himself in the most comfortable position (preventing iatrogenic stretching injuries of the brachial plexus). The surgeon can obtain the best surgical approach without harming. The anesthesiologist can intubate without increasing the risk. The nurse doesn’t have to move the entire heavy weighted patient once he is asleep. Theoretically, everybody is happy. How is the correct way to do it? As we can see in Figure 2, the head must be in a neutral position, using a couple of surgical pillows and an occipital support to prevent that the head goes backwards during the laryngoscopy. Ventilation is more easily performed than in supine position, actually this position is the safe position to prevent lung aspiration and the hypopharyngeal structures won’t easily cause an airway obstruction. Correct manual ventilation is normally achieved without the need of Guedel airway, regardless of the side to intubate. Laryngoscopy and intubation in right sided position are usually more hazardous compared to the left sided. This is because it is more difficult to direct the double lumen tube properly, even if normally we can do it without help of intubating introducers or similar. Once the double lumen tube is inside the trachea, it is generally well positioned the first time. We have to pay particular attention to patients with predictive criteria of difficult airway; those patients are not excluded from the NI-VATS (13), in which we directly use the Airtraq® videolaringoscope and the bronchofiberscope.
To solve this problem not all the surgeons or anesthesiologists can perform a NI-VATS, only the ones that knows their own limitations and try to improve them. The NI-VATS is scheduled the first case of the day.

You have to get the big picture to solve the small problem
Beetwen the surgeons and the anestheisioloisgt we have differente criteria ( just to say it in a nice way)
Once the lung is collpased
Open neumotorax

Cough
One of the very usual problems during the NI-VATS is the
cough of the patient. Cough receptors are located mainly
on the posterior wall of trachea, pharynx, and mucosa of
bronchus. Impulses caused by stimuli travel via the vagus
nerve to the medulla of the brain, and trigger a cough. The
predominance of vagal tone after sympathetic block by TEA
might potentially increase bronchial tone and reactivity.
There are several ways to block this coughing reflex,
but none of them really suppress it 100% without risks:
The first option is to administrate 1-2 mg/Kg of lidocaine
and then a continuous perfusion , but the risk of reaching
the local anesthetic toxicity is very near. The second way
is to use inhalation of aerosolized 2-4% lidocaine in a high
oxygen flow for about 30 min before the surgery. The third
option is to do an intrathoracic vagal block with 2 mL of
0.25% bupivacaine adjacent to the vagus nerve (17) under
direct thoracoscopic vision at the level of the azygous
vein in the right side, and just below the aortopulmonary
window in the left side, in order to avoid laryngeal recurrent
nerve palsy. It has the risk of affecting heart rate, breathing
rate, and blood pressure. This option has one variant, which
consists on aerosolizing Bupivacaine 0.25% over the visceral
pleura and the posterior mediastinal pleural through the vagus
nerve course. The last one is to block the ipsilateral stellate
ganglion with 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. This aspect is on
continuous evolution, what we usually do is a mixture of all
the options. We start aerosolizing lidocaine 30 min before the
surgery to anesthetize the tracheobronchial tree, and then we
instill directly the intrathoracic vagus nerve or aerosolize the
visceral and posterior mediastinal pleura with Bupivacaine. If
with those maneuvers we do not obtain good results, we then
add intravenous lidocaine to upgrade the effect.
