Abstract：

Objective To compare the efficacy of laryngeal tube suction Ⅱ (LTS Ⅱ ) and ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) for airway management during general anesthesia. Methods One hundred and twenty adult ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ female patients, aged 30-50, with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2, undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 60 each) : PLMA group and LTS Ⅱ group. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups: PLMA controlled ventilation group (group PC), PLMA spontaneous breathing group (group PS), LTS Ⅱ controlled ventilation group (group LC) and LTS Ⅱ spontaneous breathing group (group LS) . The rate of successful insertion was recorded. PetCO2 , peak airway pressure, lung compliance and incidence of gas leakage during controlled ventilation were recorded before operation, 10 min after the start of operation and at the end of operation. The tidal volume and PetCO2 were recorded in patients breathing spontaneously when the breathing was stable. The bucking and body movement were observed during removal of LTS Ⅱ or PLMA. The side effects in 24 h after surgery were recorded.Results Insertion was successful in all the patients. During either spontaneous breathing or controlled ventilation, the peak airway pressure was significantly higher in the patients with LTS Ⅱ than in the patients with PLMA ( P ＜ 0.05), and there wag no significant difference in the other ventilatory parameters between the two devices. There was no significant difference in the incidences of postoperative complications among the groups ( P ＞ 0.05) . Conclusion The efficacy of PLMA for airway manage ment is better than that of LTSⅡ during general anesthesia.

困难气道患者上气道三维CT图像的改变

Objective To evaluate the changes in three-dimensional computer tomography (3DCT) images of upper airway in patients with difficult tracheal intubation and provide theoretical evidence for predicting the difficult tracheal intubation. Methods Seventeen ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients, 25-60 yr old, height 165-185 era, weight 55-110 kg, body mass index 19-33 kg/m2, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, were studied. The airway condition was evaluated with Mallampati classification and Willsan score system in all patients before the operation. The patients underwent 3DCT scanning under 2 different statuses: with or without tongue protruding while opening his mouth maximally. The volume of the oropharyngeal cavity (Va1, Va2) andtongue body (Vt1, Vt2), and area of the oropharyngeal cavity (Aa1, Aa2) and tongue body (At1, At2) in the coronal position were measured before and during tongue protruding. The midline sagittal images of the upper airway were made on computer to measure the direct laryngoscope angle and vertical distance between the mandible and hyoid (MHD). Awake blind tracheal intubation was performed in all patients. The exposure of the glottis was performed after anesthesia induction and evaluated with Cormack-Lehane classification. The patients were divided into non-difficult intubation group (group NDI, Cormack-Lehane grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ) and difficult intubation group (group DI, Cormack-Lehane grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ) according to Cormack-Lehane classification. Results There were 8 patients in group NDI, and 9 patients in group DI. There was no significant difference in the indices before tongue protruding between group DI and NDI (P>0.05). Va2, Va1 - Va1, Aa2, Aa1 - Aa2, and At1- At2 weresignificanfly smaller, MHD was significantly longer and Va1,/Vt1- Va2/Vt2was significantly larger in group DI than in group NDI (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Va2 and Aa2 were significantly smaller than Va1 and Aa1 in group DI respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion The changes in 3DCT images of the upper airway in patients with difficult tracheal intubation are mainly presented as smaller volume and area of the oropharyngeal cavity, larger difference value of the ratio of cavity volume to tongue volume and prolonged MHD.

Airway injuries after one-lung ventilation: a comparison between double-lumen tube and endobronchial blocker: a randomized, prospective, controlled trial

BACKGROUND: Vocal cord injuries, postoperative hoarseness, and sore throat are common complications after general anesthesia. One-lung ventilation can be achieved via two techniques: double-lumen endotracheal tube or endobronchial blocker such as the Arndt blocker. The current study was designed to assess the impact of these techniques for one-lung ventilation on the incidence and severity of postoperative hoarseness, vocal cord lesions, and sore throat. METHODS: In this prospective trial, 60 patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One-lung ventilation was achieved with either an endobronchial blocker (blocker group) or a double-lumen-tube (double-lumen group). Postoperative hoarseness and sore throat were assessed at 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery. Bronchial injuries and vocal cord lesions were examined by bronchoscopy immediately after surgery. RESULTS: In 56 included patients, postoperative hoarseness occurred significantly more frequently in the double-lumen group compared with the blocker group: 44% versus 17%, respectively (P = 0.046). Similar findings were observed for vocal cord lesions: 44% versus 17%, respectively (P = 0.046). The incidence of bronchial injuries was comparable between groups (P = 0.540). Cumulative number of days with hoarseness and sore throat were significantly increased in the double-lumen group compared with the blocker group (P < 0.01). No major complications such as bronchial ruptures were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should be aware of an increased incidence of minor airway injuries that may impair patient satisfaction when using a double-lumen tube instead of an endobronchial blocker for one-lung ventilation.

Combined use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and a bronchial blocker vs. a double-lumen endobronchial tube in thoracoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial

Study objectiveThe combined use of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and a bronchial blocker may reduce postoperative hoarseness and sore throat. We aimed to test the feasibility and efficacy of this combination technique in thoracoscopic surgery.DesignA single-center, patient-assessor blinded, randomized controlled trial.SettingNagoya City University Hospital (between November 2020 and April 2022).PatientsA total of 100 adult patients undergoing lobectomy or segmentectomy by video- or robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.InterventionsPatients were randomly assigned to either group using a combination of the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and a bronchial blocker (pLMA+BB group) or a double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT group).MeasurementsThe primary outcome was the hoarseness incidence on 1–3 postoperative days. Secondary outcomes included sore throat, intraoperative complications (hypoxemia, hypercapnia, surgical interruption, malposition of devices, unintended lung expansion, and ventilatory difficulty), lung collapse, device placement-related outcomes, and coughing during emergence.Main resultsA total of 100 patients underwent randomization (51 to the pLMA+BB group and 49 to the DLT group). After drop outs, a total of 49 patients in each group were analyzed per-protocol. The incidences of hoarseness in the pLMA+BB and DLT groups were 42.9% and 53.1% (difference, −10.2%; 95% confidence interval, −30.1% to 10.3%; p = 0.419), 18.4% vs. 32.7%, and 20.4% vs. 24.5% on postoperative day 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The incidences of sore throat in the pLMA+BB and DLT groups were 16.3% vs. 34.7% (difference, −18.4%; 95% confidence interval, −35.9% to −0.9%; p = 0.063) on postoperative day 1. In the pLMA+BB group, more intraoperative complications and less coughing during emergence were observed compared to the DLT group. Lung collapse and placement-related outcomes were comparable between the groups.ConclusionsThe combination of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway and bronchial blocker did not significantly reduce hoarseness compared to the double-lumen endobronchial tube.     

Lung isolation during port-access cardiac surgery: double-lumen endotracheal tube versus single-lumen endotracheal tube with a bronchial blocker

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of a double-lumen endotracheal tube to a single-lumen tube combined with a bronchial blocker for lung isolation during Port-Access cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-two patients undergoing Port-Access cardiac surgery via a right minithoracotomy. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized to intubation with either a left-sided double-lumen tube (double-lumen group) or a single-lumen tube with concomitant use of a bronchial blocker (blocker group). Comparisons between groups included (1) intubation time, (2) number of laryngoscopy attempts, (3) time required for tube exchange at the end of the operation, and (4) surgical satisfaction with the lung deflation (1-5 scale: 5 = excellent). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The initial intubation time was similar between groups (118 +/- 82 seconds, double-lumen v 144 +/- 32 seconds, blocker; p = 0.2781). An additional 105 +/- 37 seconds was needed to exchange the double-lumen tube at the end of the operation. The double-lumen group also required more laryngoscopy attempts compared with the blocker group (2.3 +/- 0.6, double-lumen v 1.1 +/- 0.4, blocker; p = 0.0001). The lung deflation was better in the double-lumen group (5 [4-5], double-lumen v 4 [3-5], blocker, p = 0.0414). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with a single-lumen tube/bronchial blocker combination the double-lumen endotracheal tube required more laryngoscopy attempts and additional time to replace the tube at the end of the case but resulted in slightly better overall lung deflation.     

Thoracoscopic surgery using a new bronchial blocker

We report use of a new bronchial blocker through a single-lumen endotracheal tube to achieve one-lung ventilation to perform thoracoscopic operation in patients in whom placement of the double-lumen tube failed and difficult intubation is predicted. The bronchial blocker tube was placed into the aimed bronchus under the bronchoscopic vision and the cuff of the blocker was inflated to achieve one-lung ventilation. In all of the 4 patients, the bronchial blocker could be inserted and placed safely, quickly, and exactly under the fiberoptic flexible bronchoscopic vision to perform thoracoscopic operation without any complications. The new bronchial blocker tube through the indwelling endotracheal tube may have advantages in situations where placement of double-lumen endotracheal tubes is technically impossible or inappropriate. The use of the new bronchial blocker tube will, however, require careful evaluation in larger series.

Abstract：

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) i-gel used in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 21-64 yr, weighing 4590 kg, undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 30 each):LMA i-gel group (group Ⅰ) and LMA Supreme group (group S) . Mallampatti test was performed before operation in both groups. Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 2.5-4.0 μg/ml) and remifentanil (target plasma concentration 3-6 ng/ml) . After the patients lost consciousness, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg was given to facilitate the LMA insertion. LMA i-gel and LMA Supreme were inserted in I and S groups respectively. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMA. In group S the air was injected into the cuff to make intracuff pressure reach 60 cm H2O after successful LMA insertion. The LMA placement time, the number of attempts of LMA insertion, the number of attempts of gastric tube placement, the airway sealing pressure, the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation, and complications (sore throat, odynopliagia,hoarseness) were recorded. The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed after successful LMA placement. The anesthesia time and recovery time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the anesthesia time, recovery time, LMA placement time, fiberoptic bronchoscopy scores and the parameters of hemodynamics and ventilation between the two group. The success rates of LMA and gastric tube placement were 100% in both groups. The airway sealing pressure was significantly higher, while the incidence of sore throat and odynopliagia was significantly lower in group I than in group S. Conclusion LMA i-gel provides adequate ventilation during operation with fewer complications and can be used effectively for gynecological laparoscopic surgery.     

Right bronchial intubation using a left-sided double-lumen tube in a patient with situs inversus

A 74-year-old man was scheduled for resection of a pulmonary tumor in the left upper lobe. He had asymptomatic complete situs inversus, and therefore his left lung had three lobes whereas his right lung had two. Since the tumor had been growing through the left upper bronchus into the left main bronchus, it seemed that the use of a bronchial blocker in the left bronchus should be avoided. A 37-Fr left-sided double-lumen tube was rotated in the opposite direction (clockwise) and advanced easily into the right (anatomically left) main bronchus under fiberoptic guidance. One lung ventilation during the operation was performed successfully and there was no postoperative airway complication. Several ways of achieving one lung ventilation in patients with situs inversus are discussed in this report. The use of a bronchial blocker should be considered first-choice, but sometimes its use is inappropriate as in this case. Commercially available double-lumen tubes are not intended for use in cases of situs inversus. If a double-lumen tube is desired, intentional right bronchial insertion of a left-sided double-lumen tube seems to be an easy and reliable option.     

Use of a Fogarty catheter as a bronchial blocker through a single-lumen endotracheal tube in patients with subglottic stenosis

One-lung ventilation can be achieved with a double-lumen tube or a bronchial blocker. However, the larger outer diameters of double-lumen or Univent tubes may prevent their passage through an area of subglottic stenosiss. We present five cases of subglottic stenosis in which a Fogarty catheter was used as a bronchial blocker through a single-lumen endotracheal tube. The outer diameters of a double-lumen tube, Univent tube and single-lumen tube were compared. Despite special equipment designed for one-lung ventilation, the use of a bronchial blocker through a single-lumen tube, which has the thinnest available wall thickness, seems to be one of the most effective and safest ways of achieving one-lung ventilation in patients with subglottic stenosis or narrowing.
