We present a complication associated with herniation of a specially designed silicone-based endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff used for laryngeal nerve monitoring (electromyographic [EMG] ETT). Lung ventilation in our patient was initially unimpeded. However, 30 minutes after initiation of anesthesia with desflurane and nitrous oxide, there was a sudden inability to ventilate due to the herniation of the ETT cuff presumably caused by diffusion of nitrous oxide into the silicone-based cuff. In vitro testing has shown that the increase in intracuff pressure during ventilation with nitrous oxide in the silicone-based EMG ETT is much greater (approximately 50 mmHg) than that in the polyvinyl chloride-based ETT (approximately 10 mmHg) routinely used in our department.
我们报告了一例与用于喉返神经监测(肌电图[EMG]气管内导管)的特殊设计的硅基气管内导管(ETT)套囊疝出相关的并发症。我们患者的肺通气最初未受阻碍。然而,在使用地氟烷和氧化亚氮开始麻醉30分钟后,由于ETT套囊疝出,突然无法通气,推测这是由氧化亚氮扩散到硅基套囊中引起的。体外测试表明,在我们科室常规使用的基于聚氯乙烯的ETT(约10 mmHg)中,使用氧化亚氮通气时,硅基EMG ETT套囊内压力的升高要大得多(约50 mmHg)。
