Thoracic Anesthesia

Thoracic Anesthesia

Our division consists of anesthesiologists with a special interest in the area of thoracic anesthesia, and its members have attained advanced expertise in management of the thoracic surgical patients in various high profile centers across the United States, Great Britain and Australia.

Among the thoracic surgical procedures that are performed at Vancouver General Hospital are lung transplantations, surgical management of respiratory failure, lung resections, esophageal surgery, and minimally invasive surgery. Because of our geographical proximity to the British Columbia Cancer Agency (Vancouver Site), our surgical program has developed special expertise in complex thoracic oncological problems.
