Core Tip

Core Tip: In patients undergoing esophagectomy and gastric esophagoplasty, there is a high risk of aspiration pneumonia during the perioperative period. Aspiration pneumonia is closely related to postoperative mortality and pulmonary complications, so anesthesiologists should pay extra attention to such patients.
