RESUMEN
Resumen: Las grandes masas mediastínicas aumentan los riesgos asociados con la anestesia general. Las complicaciones más temidas en este tipo de pacientes son el colapso de la vía aérea, seguido del colapso cardiovascular. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 30 años con diagnóstico de sarcoma sinovial con metástasis pulmonar y con la presencia de dos tumores intratorácicos. El objetivo del caso clínico es revisar las implicaciones anestésicas y su manejo en este grupo de pacientes.
Abstract: Large mediastinal masses increase the risks associated with general anesthesia. The most feared complications in this type of patients are the collapse of the airway, leading to cardiovascular collapse. We present the case of a 30-year-old patient diagnosed with synovial sarcoma with pulmonary metastasis, with the presence of two intrathoracic tumors. The objective of the clinical case is to review the anesthetic implications and their management in this group of patients.
RESUMEN
Non-intubated thoracic surgery entails procedures performed through regional anesthesia method in awake or mildly sedated, spontaneously ventilating patients. This method represents advantages for the cardiovascular system, and reduces the orotracheal trauma, postoperative atelectasis, and pneumonia. It also possibly reduces costs. Other theoretical advantages are: easier acceptance of surgery, attenuated stress hormone and immune response, and possibly a better survival in oncological surgery. We show a 34-year-old woman with sever palmar-axillary hyperhidrosis. We performed the procedure with local anesthesia (ropivacaine 2 mg/ml) 5 ml in each wound trocar; 20 ml inside the thoracic cavity. The patient was mildly sedated with fentanyl and dexmedetomidine. The procedure was very simple, the patient was included in an outpatient program 90 minutes after the surgery. We conclude that sympathectomy with a non-intubated patient is safe and could be the beginning of other kinds of more complex procedures.

Myofibroblastic inflammatory tumors (MIT) of location in carina represent a diagnostic, classification, and treatment challenge, due to the scarcity of reports. The actual evidence supports the theory that MITs are lower-grade sarcomas. Here we present the case of a 23-year-old man with MIT in carina who was treated with tumor resection by carinectomy and tracheobronchial reconstruction. In spite of the few reports of these tumors in that location, the surgical treatment looking for complete resection is the gold standard of treatment.
