Protocols index In Thoracic Surgery we take
patients with lung disease and other major co-morbidity, operate
around the heart, and take away functioning lung and oesophageal
tissue. Morbidity is common and it is only through the prevention,
close monitoring and rapid treatment of complications that we are
successfully able to perform this surgery. Complications are to
be acted upon, not just watched. This protocol is aimed to help
anticipate and treat complications. The recommendations are to be
seen as guidelines. They do not override the need to
use clinical judgement and to treat each case on its merits. |
