The Impact of Assessment of Nurses' Experiences in Thoracic Surgery in Onco-Hematological Patients.

Nowadays, Thoracic Surgery is technologically advanced; therefore, it also focuses its attention on nursing care. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the assessment of a dedicated team of nurses (DTN) in all onco-hematological patients undergoing VATS lobectomy for lung cancer on the outcome of the patient, preventing pressure injuries, reducing perioperative stress, duration of operations, complications, and hospital stay times. We performed a single-center observational retrospective study, including 31 DTN and 760 onco-hematological patients who underwent thoracic surgery between 30 October 2018 and 30 June 2023 at "Vanvitelli" University of Naples. : DTN ensures good nursing care before, during, and after surgery. Operative time was reduced by approximately 20 min, decreasing hospital infections in the DNT period and reducing intraoperative complications such as bleeding and hospital costs ( < 0.05). Thoracic surgery nurses require more specialized training to adapt to the development of sophisticated.
