Together, we will discover that HFNC is a simple and easy technique to use and patients are more comfortable and better compliance whit it than using face mask or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation devices. It allows the clinician to provide accurate oxygen delivery in a wide array of patient populations and treatment areas, i.e. to provide apneic oxygenation during tracheal intubation in operating theater, ICU or ED. Based on the clinical evidence, the utilization of HFO therapy in appropriate patients can improve oxygenation and can decrease the patient’s work of breathing without the need for noninvasive or invasive ventilation. In the end we will discuss our practical experience so far.

Abstract
Sharp tools make good work. If we want to perform a perfect surgery, then we must familiar with our instrument. This section will introduce the equipments for both aspects of anesthesia and surgery.
About anesthesia, we will focus on “AIRVO™ 2” system” and “Bispectral Index™ (BIS)” system. The “AIRVO 2 system” features a humidifier with integrated flow source that comfortably delivers high flows of air/oxygen mixtures to spontaneously breathing patients, through the unique Optiflow nasal interface. Bispectral index (BIS) is one of technologies used to monitor depth of anesthesia. Titrating anesthetic agents to a specific bispectral index during general anesthesia in adults.
Regarding surgery, there are some unique surgical instruments we use in NITS which including endoscopic surgical instruments for performing vagal/intercostal nerve blockade. Also, the Endoscopic stapler is necessary in lung resection surgery. Endo-GIA combines the advantages of ergonomic design, articulation, and one-handed grasping to increase the operational performance. The Stapler places two, triple staggered rows of titanium staples and simultaneously cuts and divides the tissue between the two rows.
Hope that through the above introduction, it will help you understand the next section about surgery.

Abstract
The Bispectral Index (BIS) is one of several technologies used to monitor the depth of anesthesia. It was introduced in 1994 as a novel measure of the level of consciousness and in 1996, the US FDA approved it for assessing the hypnotic effects of general anesthetics and sedatives. The essence of BIS is to take a complex EEG signal, analyse it and process the result into a single number that ranges from 0 to 100 (a value between 40 and 60 indicates an appropriate level for a general anesthesia). Although the index is statistically based, the exact calculation algorithm is proprietary.
BIS should not be used as the sole monitor of anesthesia, as it can be affected by other factors, such as the anaesthetic drugs used, muscle movements or possible artefacts from a surgical equipment. Together with some other kind of monitoring (e.g. EKG, BP), BIS helps the anesthetist to adjust the amount of anesthetic agent to the needs of the particular patient, to reduce the occurence of an intraoperative awarness with unwanted and dangerous movements of the patient and to induce an expeditious emergence from the anesthesia. Therefore, BIS monitoring is a necessary part of the anaesthetic procedure during the non-intubated thoracic surgery.

Topic: Perspectives of Indocyanine green
(ICG) dye in biomedicine

Abstract
The objective of this
presentation is sharing a knowledge about dye Indocyanine green (ICG) as an
agent widely used in traditional and recently introduced diagnostic clinical
applications and as well a promising agent for therapeutic modalities.
Indocyanine green is a tricarbocyanine dye having a molecular weight of
751.4 Da. In aqueous solutions, ICG molecules tend to aggregate, which
influences their optical properties. ICG has been used in medicine since the
late 50s to measure cardiac output, to study the anatomy of the retinal vessels,
and to measure liver functional reserve before hepatic resection in cirrhotic
livers. ICG can be injected into the human blood stream with practically no
adverse effects. ICG becomes fluorescent once excited with specific wavelength
light in the near infra-red (NIR) spectrum (approximately 820 nm) or a laser
beam. The fluorescence can be detected using specific scopes and cameras and
then transmitted to a standard monitor allowing identification of anatomical
structures where the dye is present (i.e., biliary ducts, vessels, lymph nodes,
etc.). NIR fluorescence imaging has better tissue penetration, allowing for the
effective rejection of excitation light and detection deep inside organs. ICG
has nonlinear fluorescence quantum yield versus concentration. ICG can be used
without much worry of phototoxicity due to singlet oxygen production; when ICG
is used as a photodynamic or photothermal agent, its decomposition products may
be the main cause of phototoxicity. Results of recent research suggest ICG as a
potentially convenient agent for use in photodynamic therapy. Future
directions, including the conjugation of NIR fluorophores to target specific
cancer markers might be realistic technology with diagnostic and therapeutic
benefits.

Abstract
Starting a little bit with
history this lecture reminds at the start ancient specula – first
predecessors of present days endoscopy. Then it mentions first ligh
sources, documentation and first experience with optics used in the
laparoscopy. The camera systems stimulate wide development of the
endoscopy. Markable changes were recorded since the middle of last
century when the camera was used for the first time. From
black-and-white imaging with low resolution up to 4K resolution
cameras with rich software supplementation including fluorescence
which is dealing in the last part of the talk.
