Patients received intubated or non-intubated anesthesia according to risk assessment and preferences following multidisciplinary discussion. Ultrasound measured diaphragmatic excursion (DIA) and Thickening Fraction (TF) were recorded together with arterial blood gases and pulmonary function tests (PFT) immediately before and 12\u00a0h after surgery. Pain control and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> From February 2019 to September 2020, 41 consecutive patients were enrolled. Five were lost due to difficulties in collecting postoperative data. Of the remaining 36 patients, 25 underwent surgery with a non-intubated anesthesia approach whereas 11 underwent intubated general anesthesia. The two groups had similar baseline characteristics. On the operated side, DIA and TF showed a lower residual postoperative function in the intubated group compared to the non-intubated group (54 vs. 82% of DIA and 36 vs. 97% of TF; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001 for both). The same was observed on the non-operated side (58 vs. 82% and 62 vs. 94%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.005 and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.045, respectively, for DIA and TF). No differences were observed between groups in terms of pain control, PONV, gas exchange and PFT.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> This study suggests that maintenance of spontaneous breathing during VATS lung biopsy is associated with better diaphragmatic residual function after surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2022.953951","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T04:55:21Z","timestamp":1659934521000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Impact of intubated vs. non-intubated anesthesia on postoperative diaphragmatic function: Results from a prospective observational study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Irene","family":"Steinberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agnese","family":"Bisciaio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulio Luca","family":"Rosboch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Ceraolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Guerrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Enrico","family":"Ruffini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Brazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1097\/ALN.0000000000001521","article-title":"Practice advisory for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of infectious complications associated with neuraxial techniques: An updated report by the american society of anesthesiologists task force on infectious complications associated with neuraxial techniques and the american society of regional anesthesia and pain medicine","volume":"126","year":"2017","journal-title":"Anesthesiology"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2281.2002.00406.x","article-title":"Surface diaphragmatic electromyogram changes after laparotomy: Surface diaphragmatic electromyogram changes after laparotomy","volume":"22","author":"Berdah","year":"2002","journal-title":"Clin.
