    The study compares postoperative pulmonary complications in non-intubated versus intubated anesthesia during thoracoscopic surgery.

  • 2

    Intubated VATS is linked to higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications, affecting recovery and increasing hospitalization costs.

  • 3

    Non-intubated VATS employs a non-invasive airway device, aiming to reduce complications associated with double-lumen intubation.

  • 4

    The trial included 120 patients, randomized into NIVATS and IVATS groups, with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.

  • 5

    The study's design was a randomized, controlled, double-blind trial, ensuring unbiased results regarding anesthesia safety and efficacy.
