Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal tube (ETT) for airway management in pediatric general anesthesia. Methods Randomized controlled trials were collected through electronic searches of the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CBM, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI from the date of establishment to November 2010. All the related data that matched the standards were abstracted by two reviewers independently. The quality of the included trials was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook 5.0. RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analysis of the complications, success of insertion on the first attempt and hemodynamic changes. Results A total of 39 trials involving 2 612 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that LMA was superior to ETT in terms of less cough (RR=0.21, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.28, Plt;0.000 01), laryngospasm or bronchospasm (RR=0.37, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.77, P=0.008) and agitation (RR=0.14, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.22, Plt;0.000 01) during emergency. The incidence of postoperative sore throat (RR=0.32, 95%CI 0.19 to 0.55, Plt;0.000 1), hoarse voice (RR=0.09, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.27, Plt;0.000 1), nausea and vomiting (RR=0.46, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.80, P=0.006) was significantly lower in the LMA group. The hemodynamic changes during insertion and extraction of LMA were more stable than ETT, such as the heart rate changes in insertion, extraction and post-extraction period (SMD= –1.18, 95%CI –1.59 to –0.77, Plt;0.000 01; SMD= –1.29 95%CI –1.72 to –0.86, Plt;0.000 01; and SMD= –1.51 95%CI –2.15 to –0.87, Plt;0.000 01, respectively) and the MAP changes in insertion, extraction and post-extraction period (SMD= –1.21, 95%CI –1.39 to –1.02, Plt;0.000 01; SMD= –1.31, 95%CI –1.77 to –0.85, Plt;0.000 01; and SMD= –0.85, 95%CI –1.24 to –0.46, Plt;0.000 1, respectively); but no significant differences in postoperative regurgitation and aspiration (RR=3.00, 95%CI 0.62 to 14.61, P=0.17) and successful insertion on the first attempt (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.05, P=0.84) were found between the LMA and ETT groups. Conclusion Current evidence indicates that the laryngeal mask airway is superior to endotracheal tube in terms of fewer complications during emergency and after operation as well as stable hemodynamic changes. So, it is a selective, safe and effective airway management for children.
Objective To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of ProSeal laryngeal mask (PLMA) compared to endotracheal tube (TT) for airway management in the patients undergoing laparoscopic biliary tract surgery.Methods Using the Cochrane systematic review methods, we searched the Cochrane Controlled Trial Registers (CCTR) of The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, VIP, and CNKI databases through May 2008. We also handsearched relevant journals and conference proceedings. Two reviewers independently selected studies and assessed the quality of the trials. Disagreements were resolved by discussion, in consultation with a third reviewer. RevMan 4.2 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration was used for meta-analysis which was performed for combining the results of homogeneitystudies. Results Seven studies involving 493 patients undergoing laparoscopic biliary tract surgery were included. Meta analysis results showed that: ① Side effects: none of the patients experienced regurgitation or hypoventilation. ② PLMA was superior to TT in terms of less postoperative sore throat (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.53, P=0.0002) and response during extubation (OR=0.01, 95%CI 0.00 to 0.03, Plt;0.00001). ③ PLMA was similar to TT in terms of effective ventilation during peritoneal insufflation (Ppeak: WMD=0.01, 95%CI -0.66 to 0.68, P=0.98; PetCO2: WMD=0.01, 95%CI -0.58 to 0.59, P=0.99) and ease of insertion (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.23 to 1.47, P=0.25). ④ Hemodymatics changed during the procedure: PLMA was more stable than TT. Conclusion It is safe to use PLMA for ventilation in laparoscopic biliary tract surgery. However, up to now, we still cannot draw a definite conclusion due to the low quality of the included studies, and more high quality trials of PLMA airway management for laporoscopic surgery are needed.
摘要:目的:定量测定50 %小儿在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因胶浆的情况下平稳拔除喉罩时呼气末七氟烷浓度。方法:25例择期行四肢及体表手术的患儿,高流量吸入七氟烷诱导并以七氟烷和氧化亚氮维持麻醉,不使用肌肉松弛剂及静脉麻醉药物,手术结束后停止吸入氧化亚氮,并维持设定的七氟烷浓度10min后拔除喉罩。根据Dixon序贯法确定喉罩拔除时的七氟烷浓度,每0.1 Vol%七氟烷为1个增减单位。患儿未出现咳嗽、牙关紧闭、体动、屏气及喉痉挛则认为拔除喉罩平稳。结果:50 %小儿平稳拔除喉罩时呼气末七氟烷浓度(EC50)为1.22 Vol%(95 %的置信区间分别为0.99 Vol%～1.49 Vol%)。结论:在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因胶浆的情况下,3～8岁患儿喉罩满意拔除时呼气末七氟烷EC50值为1.22 Vol%。Abstract: Objective: To determine the concentration of sevoflurane where 50%( EC50 ) of the attempts to remove the laryngeal mask airway (LMA ) with the Teracainum Gel would be successful in children. Methods: Twentyfive nonpremedicated children, aged 38 years old, ASA physical status I, scheduled for extremities or peripherical surgery were enrolled in this study. General anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane and maintained with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen. After the surgery, the target concentration was maintained for at least 10 min, and then the LMA was removed. Each target concentration was predetermined by the Dixon’s upanddown method (with 0.1 Vol% as a step size), starting at 1.20 Vol% concentration of sevoflurane. A removal accomplished without coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movement, breath holding or laryngospasm, during or within 1 min after removal was considered to be successful. Results:The concentration of sevoflurane to achieve successful LMA removal in 50% of children was 1.22 Vol% (95%CL, 0.99 Vol%1.49 Vol%). Conclusion: The EC50 value of sevoflurane for LMA smooth extubation in children aged 38 years old with teracainum gel was 1.22 Vol%.
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of general anesthesia with laryngeal mask and preoperative inhalation of budesonide aerosol on the incidence of respiratory adverse events during pediatric anesthesia recovery. MethodsA total of 100 child patients scheduled to undergoing inguinal hernia repair between December 2012 and February 2014 were randomly divided into two groups (group A and B) with 50 in each. All the patients underwent general anesthesia with laryngeal mask, while patients in group B inhaled budesonide aerosol before anesthesia. Then, we observed the incidence of adverse events in both groups, including laryngospasm, respiratory tract infection, and pulmonary complications. ResultsCompared with group A, patients in group B had a lower incidence of adverse events (P<0.05). ConclusionPreoperative application of budesonide aerosol inhalation can significantly reduce adverse events in the process of anesthesia recovery in children.
ObjectiveTo evaluate if intravenous lidocaine can reduce the stress response induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients under general anesthesia. MethodsSixty patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy under unconsciousness between November 2013 and July 2014 were randomly divided into two groups: lidocaine group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients in the lidocaine group received an intravenous injection of lidocaine for 1 mg/kg during induction and then continuous intravenous infusion of 2% lidocaine with a dose of 3 mg/(kg·h). The same volume of saline was given to patients of the control group in the same way. Laryngeal mask airway was placed after anesthesia induction. Variables of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse oxygen saturation were observed and recorded at five time points: before induction, immediately after induction, immediately after laryngeal mask airway placement, fiberoptic bronchoscopy across tracheal carina and before leaving examination room. Complications including cough reflex, toxicity reaction of local anesthetics, and injection pain were also observed. ResultsThe examination was successfully completed in all patients. Blood pressure and heart rate increased in all patients when fiberoptic bronchoscopy got across tracheal carina. There were no statistically significant differences in the two groups (P>0.05). Patients in the two groups had no statistic difference in tinnitus and numbness of tongue (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in the lidocaine group had lower incidence of injection pain (P<0.05). ConclusionIntravenous lidocaine cannot suppress stress response induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy effectively.
Objective This is a meta-analysis of the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) with helmet compared to NIV with face mask in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Methods " Helmet, face mask or facial mask” and " mechanical ventilation or noninvasive ventilation” were used as key words both in Chinese and English to search all the trials in PubMed, OVID, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library, websites, reference lists of articles, CNKI and Wanfang Database from inception to December 2016. Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of the trials and extracted information. Revman 5.3 was used for data analysis. Results Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and six case-control trials were included. NIV with a helmet reduced the intubation rate (OR=0.35, 95%CI 0.24 to 0.51, P<0.000 01), in-hospital mortality rate (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.34 to 0.76, P=0.001), and NIV-related complications (OR=0.10, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.15, P<0.000 01) compared to NIV with face mask. There was no significant difference in gas exchange between two groups. In the subgroup analysis, types of ARF and ventilation mode did not affect the intubation rate and the complications relevant to NIV, but NIV with helmet mainly decreased the in-hospital mortality of the patients with hypoxemic ARF or pressure support ventilation. Conclusions NIV with a helmet can decrease the endotracheal intubation rate, in-hospital mortality, and NIV-related complications of the patients with ARF. And helmet is as effective as face mask in improving the gas exchange. However, larger or multicenter RCTs are needed to analyze the role of NIV with a helmet in this condition.
Objective To investigate the curve correlation between ventilation pressure and tidal volume in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction. Methods Between January and August 2015, 120 patients, American Society of Anesthesiology Ⅰ-Ⅱ, undergoing selective gynecological surgery were randomly divided into four groups: groups P5, P10, P15 and P20, with 30 patients in each group. Mask ventilation pressure for the four groups were respectively 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa). Patients were ventilated by preset ventilation pressure and frequency based on different groups after loss of consciousness. Mean ventilation volume (mean value of three tidal volumes) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PetCO2) were recorded for analysis. Results There was no significant difference among the four groups in patient’s general condition (P>0.05). The tidal volume of assisted mechanical ventilation increased with ventilation pressure degrees, and the differences among the four groups were significant (P<0.05). After curve regression analysis, tidal volume and ventilation pressure showed a positive linear correlation when ventilation pressure was set at 5-20 cm H2O, and the correlation equation was: tidal volume = 33.612×ventilation pressure-53.155. PetCO2 in P5 group was lower than those in the other three groups (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences among groups P10, P15 and P20 (P>0.05). Conclusion When ventilation pressure is set at 5-20 cm H2O in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction, tidal volume and ventilation pressure show a positive linear correlation.
This paper focuses on whether masking signal with natural sounds is an effective way for mitigating annoyance caused by monotone-like tinnitus. Four natural sounds, pink noise, and narrow bandwidth noise were applied as maskers in the present study shown in this paper. Two monotones were applied as maskees. As a basis for research, natural sounds do not necessarily mask monotones entirely. According to the results, spring water and rain noise can be selected as effective noise for masking monotones. In the case of monotones with different frequency, the same masker performed a little differently on masking. We preliminarily demonstrated the feasibility of natural sounds for masking monotone-like tinnitus, which is of great use for improving maskers in tinnitus masking therapy.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of laryngeal mask versus endotracheal tubes for laparoscopic surgery.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy and safety of laryngeal mask versus endotracheal tubes for laparoscopic surgery from inception to April, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 1 593 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there was no significant difference in the success rate of the first insertion (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.96 to 1.02, P=0.55). The airway pressure of patients whose position were head higher than foot was significantly lower in the laryngeal mask group than in the tracheal intubation group (MD=–1.20, 95%CI –1.81 to –0.59, P=0.000 1), but there was no significant difference between two groups in reverse position patients (MD=0.48, 95%CI –0.90 to 1.87, P=0.49). The incidence of sore throat (RR=0.58, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.74, P<0.000 01), the incidence of blood stain (RR=0.48, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.77, P=0.002), the incidence of laryngeal spasm/bronchial spasm (OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.80, P=0.02) and the incidence of cough/hiccup (RR=0.10, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.15, P<0.000 01) in the laryngeal mask group were significantly lower than those in the tracheal intubation group.ConclusionThe current evidence shows that compared with tracheal intubation, laryngeal mask can effectively reduce airway pressure of patients whose position are head higher than foot. The risks of various complications are significant higher in tracheal intubation in laparoscopic surgery. Laryngeal mask can maintain patients' normal respiratory functions while reduce damage and do not increase the occurrence of reflux aspiration. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different airway management strategies on outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang Data for relevant studies comparing the influence of different airway management strategies on outcomes of OHCA patients. The deadline was up to 31st May, 2019. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system 3.6 was used for quality assessment, and RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to conduct the comparison. Results A total of 20 studies were finally enrolled, including 880 567 OHCA patients. Compared with supraglottic airway (SGA), bag-valve mask (BVM) improved the rate of survival to discharge of OHCA patients [OR=1.45, 95%CI (1.01, 2.08), P=0.04], while the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was not improved (P>0.05); in the subgroup analysis, BVM and SGA had similar effect on the rate of ROSC and the rate of survival to discharge in Asian countries (P>0.05), while BVM performed better than SGA in the two rates in European and American countries. BVM and endotracheal intubation (ETI) had similar effect on the two rates (P>0.05). In Asian countries, ETI performed better than BVM in the rate of ROSC [OR=0.63, 95%CI (0.49, 0.81), P=0.000 3], and there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of survival to discharge between ETI and BVM (P>0.05); while in European andAmerican countries, BVM performed better than ETI in the rate of survival to discharge [OR=3.10, 95%CI (2.69, 3.56), P<0.000 01], and there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of ROSC between ETI and BVM (P>0.05). Compared with SGA, ETI improved the rate of ROSC [OR=0.68, 95%CI (0.62, 0.76), P<0.000 01] and the rate of survival to discharge [OR=0.89, 95%CI (0.81, 0.98), P=0.02]. In Asian countries, ETI performed better than SGA in the two rates (P<0.05); while in European and American countries and New Zealand, ETI performed better than SGA in the rate of ROSC (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of survival to discharge (P>0.05). Conclusions Different airway management strategies have differente effects on OHCA patients. The optimal airway management strategy when rescuing OHCA patients might be selected based on local emergency medical service system conditions.
