Application of Tracheal Intubation Guided by Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy in Children Snoring Disease Operation / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the value of tracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in children snoring disease operation.Methods A total of 50 patients underwent tracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscope or laryngoscope from August 2015 to June 2016.There were 25 cases of fiberoptic bronchoscopy assigned into group A, 25 cases of laryngoscopy into group B.The intubation time, success rate and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results All the intubation in group A succeed at the first time.The intubation time was (20.1±4.3) s and the position was right.There was no need for replacement during the operation.Three cases in group B succeed at the second time because the tonsil was too big to expose the pharynx.The intubation got out of the pharynx in 3 cases in group B and were adjusted to the right position.The intubation time was (50.7±6.9) s and the success rate at the first time was 76% (19/25).Groups A behaved better than group B in aspects of the success rate of signal intubation and intubation time (Fisher''s Exact Test, P=0.022;t=-18.725, P=0.000).There were no adverse reactions in group A, such as pharyngorrhagia, odontoseisis or loss of tooth, laryngospasm and so on.There were 3 cases of hemorrhage from throat after intubation, 3 cases of loss of tooth in different degrees and 1 case of laryngospasm at second intubation time in group B.There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionFiberoptic bronchoscopy can be used for children snoring disease with good safety as well as rare adverse reactions.
