Although the advantages of ventilation with i-gel™ and laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMA-Supreme™) has been well documented, they are still under debate for surgeries requiring flexion and extension of neck such as thyroid surgery, tonsillectomy, and neck exploration. Hence, we conducted a study to demonstrate the effect of neck flexion and extension in spontaneously breathing anesthetized pediatric patients utilizing i-gel™ and LMA-Supreme™.
A prospective, randomized comparative study was conducted on sixty children, thirty each in i-gel™ and LMA-Supreme™ group. Oropharyngeal leak pressure (OPLP), fiberoptic view of vocal cords, and exhaled tidal volume were evaluated in neutral, flexion, and extension neck positions in spontaneously breathing children.
OPLP for i-gel™ was found to be significantly higher in flexion (29.00 ± 1.95 cmHO, < 0.001) and lower in extension (21.07 ± 2.08 cmHO, < 0.001) as compared to neutral (24.67 ± 2.08 cmHO). Similar results were observed for LMA-Supreme™ which showed significantly higher OPLP in flexion (24.73 ± 2.26, < 0.001 respectively) and lower in extension (18.67 ± 1.42 cmHO, < 0.001) as compared to neutral (20.87 ± 1.80 cmHO). Worsening of fiberoptic view occurs for i-gel™ and LMA-Supreme™ in flexion (10/12/5/3/0 and 11/14/2/2/1, < 0.05) as compared to neutral position (17/10/2/1/0 and 15/12/1/1/1), respectively. Significant change did not occur in extension. Ventilation worsening occurred in flexion as compared to neutral position evidenced by significant decrease in exhaled tidal volume (92.90 ± 11.42 and 94.13 ± 7.75 ml, < 0.05) as compared to neutral (100.23 ± 12.31 and 101.50 ± 8.26 ml) for i-gel™ and LMA-Supreme™, respectively.
Neck flexion caused a significant increase in leak pressure in both i-gel™ and LMA-Supreme™. With deterioration of fiberoptic view and ventilation, both devices should be used cautiously in pediatric patients in extreme flexion.
尽管i-gel™喉罩和至尊型喉罩气道(LMA-Supreme™)通气的优势已有充分文献记载,但在诸如甲状腺手术、扁桃体切除术和颈部探查等需要颈部屈伸的手术中,它们仍存在争议。因此,我们开展了一项研究,以证明在自主呼吸的麻醉小儿患者中,颈部屈伸对使用i-gel™和LMA-Supreme™的影响。
对60名儿童进行了一项前瞻性随机对照研究,i-gel™组和LMA-Supreme™组各30名。在自主呼吸的儿童处于颈部中立、屈曲和伸展位时,评估口咽漏气压(OPLP)、声带的纤维喉镜视野和呼出潮气量。
发现i-gel™的OPLP在屈曲位时显著更高(29.00±1.95cmH₂O,P<0.001),在伸展位时更低(21.07±2.08cmH₂O,P<0.001),而中立位时为(24.67±2.08cmH₂O)。LMA-Supreme™也观察到类似结果,与中立位(20.87±1.80cmH₂O)相比,其在屈曲位时OPLP显著更高(分别为24.73±2.26,P<0.001),在伸展位时更低(18.67±1.42cmH₂O,P<0.001)。与中立位(分别为17/10/2/1/0和15/12/1/1/1)相比,i-gel™和LMA-Supreme™在屈曲位时纤维喉镜视野变差(分别为10/十二分之五/3/0和11/十四分之二/2/1,P<0.05)。伸展位时未发生显著变化。与中立位相比,屈曲位时通气变差,表现为i-gel™和LMA-Supreme™的呼出潮气量显著减少(分别为92.90±11.42和94.13±7.75ml,P<0.05),而中立位时为(100.23±12.31和101.50±8.26ml)。
颈部屈曲导致i-gel™和LMA-Supreme™的漏气压显著增加。随着纤维喉镜视野和通气变差,在极度屈曲位的小儿患者中使用这两种装置时均应谨慎。
