Máscara laríngea I-Gel® versus bolsa-válvula-mascarilla en la reanimación cardiopulmonar instrumental bajo monitorización capnográfica: ensayo clínico piloto aleatorizado por grupos / I-Gel® laryngeal mask versus bag-valve-mask in instrumental cardiopulmonary resuscitation under capnographic monitoring: Cluster-randomized pilot clinical trial

Objetivo: Comparar la vía aérea básica y la vía aérea avanzada con el dispositivo supraglótico I-Gel®, por medio de la capnografía durante la RCP intermedia. Diseño: Estudio piloto experimental aleatorizado por grupos. Emplazamiento: Asistencia extrahospitalaria en unidades de soporte vital básico en la isla de Mallorca. Participantes: Adultos atendidos tras parada cardiorrespiratoria de origen no traumático. Intervenciones: Manejo de la vía aérea avanzado durante la RCP instrumental con I-Gel® o básica con bolsa-válvula-mascarilla, bajo monitorización capnográfica. Mediciones principales: Niveles capnométricos obtenidos según dispositivo empleado, número de inserciones de la I-Gel®, casos sin conseguir una correcta inserción/ventilación por ramas, consecución de ROSC en la RCP y número de ingresos vivos hospitalarios. Resultados: Se reclutaron 23 casos para su análisis. La tasa de éxito de inserción de la I-Gel® fue 92,9% al primer intento, los valores capnométricos medios fueron de 16,3mmHg en grupo control y de 27,4% en el grupo intervención. El 34,8% (n=8) de los pacientes alcanzó recuperación, circulación espontánea en algún momento y el 26,1% (n=6) ingresaron vivos en el hospital. El análisis de supervivencia, atendiendo a la llegada de la unidad y el primer minuto de ventilaciones registrados junto a la variable ingreso vivo hospitalario sugiere una cierta tendencia hacia una mayor supervivencia en la rama intervención (P=0,066). Conclusiones: El uso de la I-Gel® suscita una mejora en la ventilación de los pacientes en PCR, evidenciado por los valores capnométricos medios en el grupo intervención, no encontrándose correlación con variables de resultado de la RCP.(AU)

Objective: To compare the basic airway and the advanced airway with the supraglottic device I-Gel®, by means of capnography during intermediate CPR. Design: Randomized experimental pilot study by groups. Setting: Out-hospital care basic life support units on the Island of Mallorca. Participants: Adults attended after cardiorespiratory arrest of non-traumatic origin. Interventions: Advanced airway management during instrumental CPR with I-Gel® or basic CPR with bag-valve-mask, under capnographic monitoring. Main measurements: Capnometric levels obtained according to the device used, number of insertions of the I-Gel®, cases without achieving correct insertion/ventilation by branches, achievement of ROSC in CPR and number of hospital live admissions. Results: Twenty-three cases were recruited for analysis. The insertion success rate of the I-Gel® was 92.9% at the first attempt, the mean capnometric values were 16.3mmHg in the control group and 27.4% in the intervention group. 34.8% (n=8) of the patients achieved spontaneous circulation recovery at some point and 26.1% (n=6) were admitted to hospital alive. The survival analysis, taking into account the arrival of the unit and the first minute of ventilations recorded together with the variable hospital admission, suggests a certain trend of greater survival in the intervention branch (P=.066). Conclusions: The use of I-Gel® raises an improvement in the ventilation of the patients in PCR, evidenced by the mean capnometric values in the intervention group, finding no correlation with CPR outcome variables.(AU)

Comparación de máscaras laríngeas (I-gel Fastrach) para realización de intubación endotraqueal guiada con broncofibroscopio flexible / Comparison of I-gel Fastrach laryngeal masks in conducting flexible bronchofiberscope-guided

GOALS: Determine the success rate of guided intubation with a flexible bronchofibroscope (BFC) through supraglottic devices: I-gel or Fastrach, establish the degree of fibroscopic visualization and determine the insertion time of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal intubation. METHODS: Experimental, prospective, comparative and randomized study of 60 ASA I-II-III patients, older than 18 years, undergoing elective surgeries that required general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. After anesthetic induction, the assigned LMA was placed and intubation with BFC was performed through it. Both the success of laryngeal mask insertion and intubation were recorded, as well as the time (in seconds) equired for these procedures. The vision of the laryngeal structures was classified according to the Brimacombe Scale. RESULTS: The groups analyzed presented similar general characteristics. Insertion time of he LMA was significantly lower with I-gel than Fastrach (median 12 s vs 16 s. Respectively, p = 0.001). Also, in the intubation time BFC guided through the laryngeal mask, differences in favor of I-gel were found, with a median of 72 s. vs 89 s. (p = 0.001). Regarding the degree of glottic visualization with BFC, no statistically significant differences were found between both groups.CONCLUSIONS: Although both devices had the highest success rate (both in their placement and in intubation through them), with I-gel the intubation was performed quicker.

OBJETIVOS: Determinar la tasa de éxito de intubación guiada con broncofibroscopio flexible (BFC) a través de los dispositivos supraglóticos: I-gel o Fastrach, establecer el grado de visualización fibroscópica y determinar el tiempo de inserción de la máscara laríngea y de intubación endotraqueal. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio experimental, prospectivo, comparativo y aleatorizado de 60 pacientes ASA I- II ­III, mayores de 18 años, sometidos a cirugías electivas que requerían anestesia general e intubación endotraqueal. Luego de la inducción anestésica, se procedió a colocar la máscara laríngea asignada y se realizó la intubación con BFC a través de la misma. Tanto el éxito de inserción de máscara laríngea como de intubación fueron registrados, así como el tiempo (en segundos) requerido para dichos procedimientos. La visión de las estructuras laríngeas fue clasificada de acuerdo a Escala de Brimacombe. RESULTADOS: Los grupos analizados presentaron características generales similares. El tiempo de inserción de la ML fue significativamente menor con I-gel que con Fastrach (medianas: 12 s. vs 16 s. respectivamente, p = 0,001). También en el tiempo de intubación guiada con BFC a través de la máscara laríngea, se encontraron diferencias en favor de I-gel, con una mediana de 72 s. vs 89 s. (p = 0,001). Respecto al grado de visualización glótica con BFC, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos. CONCLUSIONES: Aunque ambos dispositivos tuvieron la máxima tasa de éxito (tanto en su colocación como en la intubación a través de ellos), con I-gel se realizó la intubación de manera más rápida.

Métodos: Es un estudio observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo, en 220 pacientes pediátricos, ASA I , II y III intervenidos en cirugías electivas y emergentes bajo anestesia general en un intervalo de tiempo de 30 a 240 minutos, de todas las especialidades médicas quirúrgicas del año 2018 ,se utilizaron los diferentes tipos de máscara. La muestra se obtuvo aplicando la fórmula para población desconocida (n = (Z2 x p x q)/ e2), nivel de confianza (Z): 95%. (1.96) Margen de error (e): 5% Probabilidad de ocurrencia del evento (p): 15% Probabilidad de no ocurrencia del evento (q): 85%. Resultados: 220 casos ingresados al estudio. El índice de complicaciones laríngeas es 5.9% , frecuentemente la tos y secreción sanguinolenta, asociándose factores como mascara clásica, edad (2-5 años), tiempo mayor de 60 minutos, mayor número de intentos, ASA> I, estado nutricional sobrepeso, e insertar en formación. Conclusión: La máscara laríngea es validada como dispositivo en anestesia pediátrica por aprendizaje rápido, baja tasa de fracaso, menores complicaciones y utilidad en vías aéreas difíciles, Es insuficiente la evidencia para respaldar el uso de un determinado dispositivo por encima de otro

Introduction: The laryngeal mask is the equipment with the aim of increasing quality, safety, care, however, despite having universal use and high efficacy for ventilation, it is not without complications. The objective of this research was to identify the frequency of complications with the use of a laryngeal mask in the Vicente Corral Moscoso and José Carrasco public hospitals in the city of Cuenca. Methods: It is an observational, descriptive, prospective study in 220 pediatric patients, ASA I, II and III who underwent elective and emergent surgeries under general anesthesia in a time interval of 30 to 240 minutes, of all surgical medical specialties of the year 2018, the different types of mask were used. The sample was obtained by applying the formula for unknown population (n = (Z2 x p x q) / e2), confidence level (Z): 95%. (1.96) Margin of error (e): 5% Probability of occurrence of the event (p): 15% Probability of non-occurrence of the event (q): 85%. Results: 220 cases entered the study. The rate of laryngeal complications is 5.9%, frequently cough and bloody discharge, associating factors such as classic mask, age (2-5 years), time greater than 60 minutes, greater number of attempts, ASA> I, nutritional status, overweight, and insert in formation. Conclusion: The laryngeal mask is validated as a device in pediatric anesthesia due to rapid learning, low failure rate, fewer complications and usefulness in difficult airways. The evidence is insufficient to support the use of a certain device over another.

[Comparison of channelled videolaryngoscope and intubating laryngeal mask airway for tracheal intubation in obese patients: a randomised clinical trial]. / Comparação de videolaringoscópio com canal e máscara laríngea na intubação traqueal de pacientes obesos: estudo clínico randomizado.

BACKGROUND: Obesity causes various difficulties in intubation and ventilation, which are confronted due to increased fat tissue in the upper airway and diminished compliance in the chest wall. Videolaryngoscopes and Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA) are good options as recommended by the American Society of Anesthesologists (ASA) difficult airway guidelines. We aimed to compare ILMA and Airtraq (a channeled videolaryngoscope) in obese patients. METHODS: Eighty patients with ASA physical status I-III, aged between 18 and 65 years and with a body mass index greater than 35 kg.m-2, who were undergoing elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation, were included in the study. Patients were intubated with one of the devices cited. RESULTS: There was no difference between the number of intubation attempts, insertion times and need for optimisation manoeuvres of Airtraq and ILMA. The intubation with Airtraq was accomplished in a shorter period of time than in that in the ILMA group (29.9±22.1s vs. 50.7±21.2s; p<0.001). A significant difference was found when the times of total intubation were compared (29.9±22.1s vs. 97.4±42.7s; p<0.001). The mean arterial pressure statistically increased after device insertion in the ILMA group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Airtraq appears to be superior to ILMA in obese patients, with a total of time intubation of less than 60 seconds and with low mean arterial pressure changes. However, ILMA is still a useful tool that provides both ventilation and intubation throughout the whole intubation process.

[Comparison of two supraglottic airway devices on postoperative sore throat in children: a prospective randomized controlled trial]. / Comparação entre dois dispositivos supraglóticos de vias aéreas na dor de garganta pós­operatória em crianças: estudo controlado prospectivo randomizado.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sore throat is well recognized complaint after receiving general anesthesia. This study is conducted to compare the severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat in children undergoing elective surgery - following the use of Ambu laryngeal mask airway) or I-gel® - who are able to self-report postoperative sore throat. METHOD: Seventy children, 6 to 16 years-old, undergoing elective surgery randomly allocated to either Ambu laryngeal mask (Ambu Group) or I-gel® (I-gel Group). After the procedure, patients were interviewed in the recovery room immediately, after one hour, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively by an independent observer blinded to the device used intra-operatively. RESULTS: On arrival in the recovery room 17.1% (n=6) of children of the Ambu Group complained of postoperative sore throat, against 5.7% in I-gel Group (n=2). After one hour, the results were similar. After 6 hours, postoperative sore throat was found in 8.6% (n=3) of the children in Ambu group vs. 2.9% (n=1) in I-gel Group. After 24hours, 2.9% (n=1) of the kids in Ambu Group compared to none in I-gel Group. There was no significant difference found in the incidence of postoperative sore throat in both devices on arrival (p=0.28); after 1 hour (p=0.28); after 6 hours (p=0.30); and after 24 hours (p=0.31). The duration of the insertion was shorter in Ambu Group and it was easier to insert the I-gel® (p=0.029). Oropharyngeal seal pressure of I-gel® was higher than that of Ambu laryngeal mask (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: The severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat in children is not statistically significant in the I-gel Group compared to Ambu Group.

After one hour, the results were similar. After 6 hours, postoperative sore throat was found in 8.6% (n = 3) of the children in Ambu group vs. 2.9% (n = 1) in I-gel Group. After 24 hours, 2.9% (n = 1) of the children in Ambu Group complained of postoperative sore throat compared to none in I-gel Group. There was no significant difference found in the incidence of postoperative sore throat in both devices on arrival (p = 0.28); after 1 hour (p = 0.28); after 6 hours (p = 0.30); and after 24 hours (p = 0.31). The duration of the insertion of Ambu laryngeal mask was shorter and it was easier to insert than I-gel® (p = 0.029). Oropharyngeal seal pressure of I-gel® was higher than that of Ambu laryngeal mask (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The severity and frequency of postoperative sore throat in children is not statistically significant in the I-gel Group compared to Ambu Group.

Resumo Justificativa e objetivo: Dor de garganta é uma queixa bem conhecida após anestesia geral. O presente estudo comparou a gravidade e a frequência da queixa de dor de garganta pós-operatória associada ao uso de máscara laríngea Ambu ou máscara laríngea I-gel® durante cirurgia eletiva, em crianças capazes de autoreferir a queixa no pós-operatória. Método: Setenta crianças, de 6 a 16 anos submetidas à cirurgia eletiva foram alocadas aleatoriamente para o emprego da máscara laríngea Ambu (Grupo Ambu) ou para o emprego da máscara laríngea I-gel® (Grupo I-gel). Após o procedimento, os pacientes foram entrevistados imediatamente após admissão na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica-SRPA, uma hora, 6 e 24 horas após a cirurgia por um observador independente e cego ao dispositivo de vias aéreas utilizado no intraoperatório. Resultados: Na admissão à SRPA, 17,1% das crianças no Grupo Ambu (n = 6) se queixaram de dor de garganta pós-operatória, contra 5,7% no Grupo I-gel (n = 2). Após uma hora, os resultados foram similares. Após 6 horas, houve dor de garganta pós-operatória em 8,6% (n = 3) das crianças no Grupo Ambu vs. 2,9% (n = 1) no Grupo I-gel. Após 24 horas, 2,9% (n = 1) das crianças no Grupo Ambu versus nenhuma criança no Grupo I-gel. Não houve diferença significante na incidência de dor de garganta pós-operatória nos dois dispositivos na admissão na SRPA (p = 0,28); após 1 hora (p = 0,28); após 6 horas (p = 0,30); e após 24 horas (p = 0,31). A duração da inserção foi menor no grupo da máscara laríngea Ambu, e a I-gel® foi mais fácil de inserir (p = 0,029). A pressão de selagem orofaríngea do I-gel® foi maior do que a da máscara laríngea Ambu (p = 0,001). Conclusão: A gravidade e a frequência da dor de garganta pós-operatória em crianças não foram estatisticamente significantes no grupo com máscara laríngea I-gel® em comparação ao grupo com máscara laríngea Ambu.

Resumo Justificativa: A obesidade dificulta a ventilação manual e intubação traqueal devido ao acúmulo de tecido adiposo na via aérea superior e a complacência diminuída na caixa torácica. Os videolaringoscópios e as Máscaras Laríngeas para Intubação (MLI) são alternativas boas para o manuseio da via aérea difícil, de acordo com as diretrizes da Sociedade Americana de Anestesologia (ASA). O objetivo do estudo foi comparar o uso da MLI e do Airtraq, um videolaringoscópio com canal, em pacientes obesos. Método: Estudamos 80 pacientes com classificação ASA I-III, com idades entre 18 e 65 anos e índice de massa corporal acima de 35 kg.m-2, submetidos a cirurgia eletiva com indicação de intubação orotraqueal. Os pacientes foram intubados empregando-se um dos seguintes dispositivos: MLI ou Airtraq. Resultados: Não houve diferença entre o número de tentativas de intubação, tempo de inserção do dispositivo e necessidade de manobras de otimização para o Airtraq e MLI. A intubação com Airtraq foi realizada mais rapidamente do que no Grupo MLI (29,9 ± 22,1 s vs. 50,7 ± 21,2 s; p < 0,001). Houve diferença significante na comparação do tempo total para intubação (29,9 ± 22,1 s vs. 97,4 ± 42,7 s; p < 0,001). Houve aumento estatisticamente significante da pressão arterial média após a inserção do dispositivo no Grupo MLI (p < 0,05). Conclusões: Airtraq parece ser superior a MLI em pacientes obesos, apresentando tempo total de intubação abaixo de 60 segundos e com menor variação na pressão arterial média. Todavia, a MLI ainda é ferramenta útil que propicia tanto ventilação quanto intubação durante todo o processo de manejo da via aérea.

Objective: to compare the mean development time of the techniques of direct laryngoscopy and insertion of supraglottic devices; and to evaluate the success rate in the first attempt of these techniques, considering health professionals wearing specific personal protective equipment (waterproof overalls; gloves; boots; eye protection; mask). Method: meta-analysis with studies from LILACS, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane, Scopus and Web of Science. The keywords were the following: personal protective equipment; airway management; intubation; laryngeal masks. Results: in the "reduction of the time of the procedures" outcome, the general analysis of the supraglottic devices in comparison with the orotracheal tube initially presented high heterogeneity of the data (I2= 97%). Subgroup analysis had an impact on reducing heterogeneity among the data. The "laryngeal mask as a guide for orotracheal intubation" subgroup showed moderate heterogeneity (I2= 74%). The "2ndgeneration supraglottic devices" subgroup showed homogeneity (I2= 0%). All the meta-analyses favored supraglottic devices. In the "success in the first attempt" outcome, moderate homogeneity was found (I2= 52%), showing a higher proportion of correct answers for supraglottic devices. Conclusion: in the context of chemical, biological or radiological disaster, the insertion of the supraglottic device proved to be faster and more likely to be successful by health professionals.

Máscara laríngea vs tubo orotraqueal no atendimento pré-hospitalar - desfechos hospitalares / Laringeal mask vs orotraqueal tube in pre-hospital care - hospital outcomes

INTRODUÇÃO: Em situações emergenciais, se torna crucial o manejo adequado das vias aéreas, pois falhas neste processo contribuem consideravelmente para piores desfechos clínicos. OBJETIVO: comparar a utilização do tubo endotraqueal e da máscara laríngea no atendimento pré- -hospitalar em relação aos desfechos hospitalares tais como tempo de ventilação mecânica, tempo de permanência na UTI e taxa de óbito. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: estudo observacional retrospectivo, desenvolvido no Hospital Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Sul. Foram incluídos pacientes maiores de 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, que foram atendidos pelo SAMU durante o atendimento pré-hospitalar, e após o encaminhados para o Pronto Atendimento ou Ambulatório do Hospital Santa Cruz. As variáveis analisadas foram extraídas dos prontuários médicos dos indivíduos selecionados. RESULTADOS: foram analisados 27 indivíduos, maioria do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 46,5±22 anos, sendo a causa predominante do atendimento pré-hospitalar o politraumatismo. Ao compararmos os pacientes que utilizaram tubo endotraqueal com os que utilizaram máscara laríngea, não foram observadas diferenças significativas em relação ao tempo de atendimento pré-hospitalar. Na fase intra-hospitalar, observamos diferença significativa em relação ao tempo de ventilação mecânica e tempode internação na UTI, não sendo o mesmo observado em relação a taxa de óbito. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes submetidos a utilização da máscara laríngea no atendimento pré-hospitalar apresentaram menor tempo de ventilação mecânica e menor tempo de internação na UTI, em relação aos pacientes intubados com tubo endotraqueal.

INTRODUCTION: In emergency situations, proper management of the airways becomes crucial, because flaws in this process contribute considerably to worse clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To compare the use of the endotracheal tube and laryngeal mask in prehospital care in relation to hospital outcomes such as mechanical ventilation time, length of stay in the ICU and death rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: a retrospective observational study, developed in a Hospital Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Sul. Patient records were used from the Emergency Mobile Service (SAMU) of Santa Cruz do Sul, sent to the Emergency Department or Ambulatory of Santa Cruz Hospital. RESULTS: 27 individuals, mostly males, with an average age of 46.5 ± 22 years, were analyzed, being the predominant cause of pre-hospital care the polytrauma. When comparing the patients who used the endotracheal tube with those who used laryngeal mask, no significant differences were observed in relation to the time of prehospital care. In the in-hospital phase, we observed a significant difference in relation to the time of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the ICU, and the same was not observed in relation to the death rate. CONCLUSION: The patients submitted to the use of the laryngeal mask in the pre-hospital care presented a shorter time of mechanical ventilation and a shorter time of hospitalization in the ICU than the patients intubated with an endotracheal tube.

Máscara laríngea, alternativa en la oxigenación apneica durante simpatectomía torácica. Presentación de un caso / Laryngeal mask, alternative in the oxygenation apneica during simpatectomía thoracic. Case Presentation

RESUMEN Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 15 años, la que acude a consulta en el Hospital Pediátrico de Cienfuegos, la cual refirió que desde la niñez presenta diaforesis (sudoración profusa) en cuerpo y muy notorio en manos y axilas, que le impide el adecuado desenvolvimiento en público y la imposibilita para escribir en papel sin que este se humedezca. Se le diagnosticó hiperhidrosis y se decidió realizar cirugía video-laparoscópica para simpatectomía torácica. Proceder que se realiza por cirugía mínimamente invasiva y requiere de anestesia general endotraqueal como regularidad en la mayoría de los casos, en este caso se utilizó anestesia general; para permeabilizar la vía aérea se usó la máscara laríngea y oxigenación apneica, con lo que se logró estabilidad hemodinámica. La paciente no presentó complicaciones y se logró la solución definitiva de la hiperhidrosis.

ABSTRACT The case of a 15 year-year-old female patient is presented, attended at the Children's Hospital of Cienfuegos, who reported that since childhood has diaphoresis (profuse sweating) on her body and very noticeable hands and armpits, which prevents proper perfomance in public and the inability to write on paper without it getting wet. He was diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and it was decided to perform video-laparoscopic surgery for thoracic sympathectomy. General anesthesia was used; a laryngeal mask and apneic oxygenation were used to permeabilize the airway, with which hemodynamic stability was achieved. The patient did not present complications and a definitive solution of hyperhidrosis was achieved.

Laryngospasm in pediatric anesthesia with laryngeal mask vs. endotracheal tube: non-inferiority clinical trial / Laringoespasmo en anestesia pediátrica con el uso de la máscara laríngea vs tubo endotraqueal: Ensayo clínico de no inferioridad

Abstract Introduction: Airway-related problems are the most common perioperative complications in pediatric anesthesia and, among them, the most significant is laryngospasm. The type of device used to secure the airway has been found to be among the factors responsible for this outcome. Objective: To determine whether the use of the classic laryngeal mask (LM) creates a non-inferior risk of laryngospasm compared with the use of the endotracheal tube (ET) in children. Method: Non-inferiority, controlled, double-blind clinical trial with random assignment that included 260 children ages 2 to 14 years, American Society of Anaesthesiology I to III, taken to surgical procedures under general anesthesia. The primary outcome was the development of laryngospasm, and the need to exchange devices, airway trauma, and other respiratory complications were assessed as secondary outcomes. A 10% non-inferiority margin was selected for the difference between the 2 devices. Results: A total of 270 patients were recruited, and 135 were assigned to each group. Laryngospasm occurred in 3.3% of the patients, with an incidence of 5.2% in the LM group versus 1.5% for the ET group, for a difference of 3.7% and a 95% confidence interval (-0.7%, 7.9%). No differences were found among bradycardia, cardiac arrest, and death outcomes. Conclusion: The use of LM in children 2 to 14 years of age taken to various surgical procedures is not inferior or superior to ET in terms of the development of laryngospasm.

Resumen Introducción: Los problemas relacionados con el manejo de la vía aérea son las complicaciones perioperatorias más comunes en la anestesia pediátrica; de ellos, el laringoespasmo es el principal. Dentro de los factores de riesgo se ha encontrado que el tipo de dispositivo empleado para el aseguramiento de la vía aérea puede ser responsable de este desenlace. Objetivo: Determinar si el uso de Máscara Laríngea Clásica (ML) genera un riesgo no inferior al uso de Tubo Endotraqueal (TET) para desarrollar laringoespasmo en niños. Metodología: Ensayo clínico controlado de no inferioridad, ciego único, con asignación aleatoria, que incluyó 260 niños de 2 a 14 años, ASA I-III, sometidos a procedimientos quirúrgicos bajo anestesia general. El desenlace primario fue el desarrollo de laringoespasmo y como desenlaces secundarios se evaluaron la necesidad de cambio de dispositivo, trauma de vía aérea y otras complicaciones respiratorias. Se estableció un margen de no inferioridad del 10% para la diferencia entre ambos dispositivos. Resultados: Se reclutaron 270 pacientes, 135 en cada grupo. El laringoespasmo se presentó en el 3,3% de los pacientes, con una incidencia en el grupo de ML de 5,2% vs 1,5% para TET, con una diferencia de 3,7% un IC del 95%: (-0,7%, 7,9%). No se encontraron diferencias entre los desenlaces de bradicardia, paro cardiaco y muerte. Conclusión: El uso de ML en niños de 2-14 años de edad sometidos a diversos procedimientos quirurgicos no es inferior ni superior al TET para desarrollo de laringoespasmo.

Actualización en dispositivos supraglóticos para la vía aérea pediátrica / Paediatric supraglottic airway devices update

The airway approach to a neonate with Treacher Collins syndrome - Case report.

Neonates and small infants with syndromes characterized by the presence of craniofacial abnormalities may represent great challenges regarding the management of the airway. We describe the case of a 9-day-old neonate with Treacher Collins syndrome, in which a laryngeal mask was essential to improve the airway obstruction, ventilate the patient and serve as an airway conduit for a fiberoptic intubation. By presenting this case, we intend to show that in neonates with Treacher Collins syndrome, in whom difficulties ventilation and intubation are expected, a thoughtful airway management planning is mandatory.

Awake insertion of a Laryngeal Mask Airway-Proseal™ as alternative to awake fiberoptic intubation in management of anticipated difficult airway in ambulatory surgery / Inserção de máscara laríngea ProSeal™ em paciente acordado como opção para intubação por meio de fibra óptica para o manejo de via aérea difícil prevista em cirurgia ambulatorial

Abstract Background and objectives The decision whether to manage an ambulatory patient with a previously documented difficult airway with a supraglottic device remain controversial. We report an awake insertion of a Laryngeal Mask Airway Proseal™ in a patient with known difficult airway scheduled for ambulatory surgery. Case report A 46-yr-old woman was programmed as a day case surgery for breast nodule resection. Her anesthetic record included an impossible intubation with cancelation of surgery and subsequent awake fibroscopic intubation. She reported emotional distress with the previous experience and declined this approach. In view of the previous experience, an awake airway control with a Laryngeal Mask Airway Proseal™ was planned after explaining and reassuring the patient. After adequate topicalisation, a size 4 Laryngeal Mask Airway Proseal™ was successfully inserted after two attempts, and their patency was confirmed by capnography. Anesthesia was induced intravenously and the surgery was uneventful. Conclusion We describe a feasible alternative strategy to awake intubation in a patient with known difficult airway undergoing ambulatory surgery. In this specific clinical situation, if tracheal intubation is deemed unnecessary, awake supraglottic airway might allow adequate ventilation and their use should be considered.

Resumo Justificativa e objetivo A decisão quanto ao manejo de paciente ambulatorial com via aérea difícil previamente diagnosticada com o uso de dispositivo supraglótico permanece controversa. Relatamos o caso de inserção de máscara laríngea ProSeal™ em paciente acordado, com via aérea difícil prevista, agendado para cirurgia ambulatorial. Relato de caso Paciente do sexo feminino, 46 anos, programada para cirurgia de ressecção de nódulo de mama com alta hospitalar no mesmo dia. A história anestésica incluía uma intubação impossível, com o cancelamento da cirurgia e posterior intubação com o uso de fibroscópio, com a paciente acordada. A paciente relatou que ficou emocionalmente abalada com a experiência anterior e recusou essa abordagem. Considerando essa experiência anterior, uma abordagem das vias aéreas com a paciente acordada e o uso de uma máscara laríngea ProSeal™ foi planejada, após se explicar o procedimento para a paciente e tranquilizá-la. Após topicalização adequada, uma máscara laríngea (LMA ProSeal™) de tamanho 4 foi inserida com sucesso depois de duas tentativas e a permeabilidade foi confirmada por capnografia. A anestesia foi induzida por via intravenosa e a cirurgia foi feita sem intercorrências. Conclusão Descrevemos uma estratégia opcional viável para a intubação em uma paciente acordada com via aérea difícil previamente diagnosticada submetida a cirurgia ambulatorial. Nessa situação clínica específica, quando a intubação traqueal é considerada desnecessária, a via aérea supraglótica em paciente acordado pode permitir uma ventilação adequada e seu uso deve ser considerado.
