Comparison of early postoperative cytokine changes in patients undergoing intubated and non-intubated thoracic surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Abstract
The inflammatory response after surgery is associated with patient prognosis. Patients who undergo thoracic surgery exhibit a profound systemic inflammatory response due to the surgical procedures used and application of one-lung ventilation. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative inflammatory changes in patients after intubated and non-intubated thoracic surgery for primary lung cancer resection.
