[Implementation of Patient Blood Management as Standard-of-Care].
Anaemia is among the most common co-morbidity in surgical patients. However, it often remains unrecognized and untreated, which results in an increased requirement for allogeneic blood products and complications. Patient Blood Management offers patient-centred and evidence-based therapies and preventive measures for anaemia. ⋯ The World Health Organization demands the implementation of Patient Blood Management measures since 2010. However, a comprehensive implementation of Patient Blood Management as a standard-of-care is still not achieved. Here, we describe the need for a comprehensive Patient Blood Management implementation and highlight several specific Patient Blood Management measures.

[Video-assisted Double-lumen Tubes in Robot-assisted Oesophageal Surgery].
Robot-assisted esophagectomies are still considered high-risk procedures requiring complex surgical and anesthesiological planning and coordination. The operative space during the thoracic operative part is created by one-lung ventilation. ⋯ In this work, we present our experiences establishing a video-guided double-lumen tube for esophageal surgery. From our point of view, the use of video-guided double-lumen tubes is very suitable increasing patient safety and coordination in the operational team during esophagectomy.
