Minimal access thoracic surgery in the pediatric population.

Thoracoscopy was initially described for use in children to obtain pulmonary biopsy samples in the immunocompromised patient. With refinements in technique, development of better instrumentation, and advances in pediatric anesthesia, there are now many diagnostic and therapeutic indications for the use of thoracoscopy in children. One of the most common indications includes pleural debridement for empyema. Many centers consider this the optimal approach for biopsy of mediastinal lesions and excision of bronchogenic or duplication cysts. The technique is useful for pleural disorders, such as spontaneous pneumothorax and chylothorax. Thoracoscopy has been used to achieve exposure for spinal diskectomy in children with thoracic scoliosis, and newer techniques are being developed in performing anatomic lobectomies, repair of esophageal atesias, and closure of diaphragmatic hernias. The role of the robot in pediatric thoracoscopy is still in the early stages of definition.

Closed system anaesthesia--historical aspects and recent developments.

Closed circuit anaesthesia was described decades ago but did not achieve wide popularity among anaesthesiologists mainly because reliable control of inspiratory gas concentrations was not possible. Recent innovations including fast gas analysers, electronically controlled dosage systems and algorithms for feedback control have made possible the development of sophisticated closed circuit ventilators designed for routine clinical practice. The main advantages comprise economic use of medical gases and volatile anaesthetics, reduction of anaesthetic gas loss into the atmosphere, improved airway acclimatization as well as estimations of oxygen consumption. This article reviews historical aspects, recent developments as well as advantages and limitations of closed system anaesthesia.
