Abstract
INTRODUCTION One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a commonly used technique to facilitate surgical visualization during thoracic surgical procedures. Double-lumen endotracheal tubes and one-lumen tracheal tube combined with bronchial blocker might lead to intubation-related laryngeal injury. PATIENT CONCERNS In the perioperative period, how to avoid further damage to the vocal cord while achieving OLV during operation is challenging work. DIAGNOSIS She was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, and lung tumor. INTERVENTIONS We used a combination of a laryngeal mask airway with bronchial blocker to avoid further damage to the vocal cord when achieving OLV. OUTCOMES At 1-month follow-up, she had fully recovered without obvious abnormalities. CONCLUSION When OLV was required for patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis, a combination of a laryngeal mask airway with bronchial blocker was considered a better choice.

Abstract
Background and Aims Recent studies have found that ultrasound-guided (USG) bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (BSCPB) and intravenous infusion of lidocaine (IVL) have the potential to improve the quality of postoperative recovery. This study aimed to investigate and compare their effects on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Methods A total of 135 patients were randomised to Group N: BSCPB with 10 mL 0.75% ropivacaine on each side, Group L: intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg for 10 min, followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h) and Group C: intravenous saline combined with BSCPB saline. The primary objective was quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40). Other parameters compared were numeric rating pain scale (NRS) score, haemodynamic data, opioid dosage and incidence of adverse effects. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Chi-square test. Results Compared to Group C, both groups N and L had higher QoR-40 total scores as well as scores indicating physical comfort, emotional state and pain dimensions on postoperative day (POD) 1 and POD2 (P < 0.001). The QoR-40 total and pain dimension scores in Group N were higher on POD1 and POD2 (P < 0.05). The NRS scores and the change in haemodynamics were lower in Group N compared to groups L and C (P < 0.05). The results of other parameters were lower in groups N and L than in Group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion USG BSCPB and IVL are comparable in improving the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.

Abstract
The escalating airway management demands of cancer patients have prompted us to continually curate airway devices, with supraglottic airway devices (SADs) playing a significant role in this regard. SADs serve as instrumental tools for maintaining an open upper airway. Since the inception of the earliest SADs in the early 1980s, an array of advanced and enhanced second-generation devices have been employed in clinical settings. These upgraded SADs integrate specific features designed to enhance positive-pressure ventilation and mitigate the risk of aspiration. Nowadays, they are extensively used in general anesthesia procedures and play a critical role in difficult airway management, pre-hospital care, and emergency medicine. In certain situations, SADs may be deemed a superior alternative to endotracheal tube (ETT) and can be employed in a broader spectrum of surgical and non-surgical cases. This review provides an overview of the current evidence, a summary of classifications, relevant application scenarios, and areas for improvement in the development or clinical application of future SADs.

Abstract
Background Sore throat is a common complication after general anesthesia. Oral care solutions have been used to reduce the incidence of oral complications or ventilator-associated pneumonia, but their effect on postoperative sore throat (POST) is unclear. This study aims to investigate whether oral care solution can alleviate POST in patients undergoing i-gel laryngeal mask general anesthesia. Methods A total of 120 patients who were scheduled for elective surgery under laryngeal mask general anesthesia were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group (oral care solution) and a control group (0.9% saline) and gargled for 1 min with 10mL of oral care solution or saline 5 min before anesthesia induction. The primary outcomes were the overall incidence of sore throat within 24 h and incidence at 20 min, 1 h, 6 h, 24 h after removal of i-gel. The secondary outcomes were the severity of sore throat at the four time points and incidence of hoarseness, cough within 24 h after removal of i-gel. Results A total of 111 patients were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of sore throat within 24 h in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, as was the incidence at four time points (P<0.05). The VAS scores at the four time points in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the results of repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that time effect and intergroup effect were statistically significant (P<0.001). No differences were found between the groups in the incidence of hoarseness and cough. Conclusion Gargling with oral care solution before anesthesia induction can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of POST in patients undergoing i-gel laryngeal mask general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed at figuring out the different effects of a neural integrity monitor electromyography endotracheal tube (NIM-EMG-ETT) and a standard endotracheal tube (ETT) on postoperative sore throat (POST). METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 143 patients scheduled to undergo general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Patients were allocated into three groups: Group A, non-thyroid surgery with a standard ETT; Group B, thyroid surgery with a standard ETT; Group C, thyroid surgery with a NIM-EMG-ETT. The incidence, the severity and visual analog scale (VAS) of POST were recorded. The incidence and the severity of POST were tested by χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. And VAS of POST was tested by Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS The incidences of POST in Group B and Group C were significantly higher than that of Group A at all the time points after extubation (P < 0.001). The incidences of POST in Group C was significantly higher than that in Group B at 8 h, 24 h and 48 h after extubation (89.4% vs. 68.8%, P = 0.014, relative risk (RR) 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.61; 89.4% vs. 58.3%, P = 0.001, RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.18-1.98; 76.6% vs. 45.8%, P = 0.002, RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.18-2.36). Moreover, there was a significant higher VAS of POST and more serious POST with Group C than with Group B. CONCLUSIONS A NIM-EMG-ETT may induce higher incidence of POST and more serious POST than a standard ETT.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using muscle relaxant on the ease of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion and possibility of its related complications. Methods This double-blind, randomized clinical trial was performed on 60 children aged 1–4 years with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) I or II with upper limb injuries who were candidates for surgery. The patients were randomly allocated to the two groups receiving atracurium group as muscle relaxant (MR) or saline group (S). Results Regarding ease of placement, the LMA was inserted in 66.7% and 63.3% of patients straightforwardly in the MR and S groups, respectively. While it was performed with one maneuver in 23.3% and 26.7% of cases in the MR and S groups, respectively (p = 0.955). Moreover, LMA dislodgment in the two groups was 36.7% in the MR group and 20.0% in the S group without a meaningful difference (P = 0.152). The only complication observed in the two groups was laryngospasm, which occurred in 0.10% and 13.3% in the MR and S groups, respectively (p = 0.688). Conclusion In some pediatric anesthesia, the use of atracurium, as a muscle relaxant had no significant effect on capability of LMA insertion, maintaining airway patency, LMA seal pressure and oxygenation variations. Moreover, it did not have a preventive effect on the occurrence of complications such as laryngospasm.

Efficacy of laryngeal mask airway against postoperative pharyngolaryngeal complications following thyroid surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies. Sci Rep 2022; 12:18210.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aimed at investigating the effectiveness of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) against postoperative pharyngolaryngeal complications after thyroidectomy. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, google scholar, and EMBASE databases were searched from inception through February, 2021, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the incidence of pharyngolaryngeal complications following the use of LMA or endotracheal tube (ETT). Pooled results from seven RCTs involving 600 patients showed an association of LMA with a reduced risk of postoperative sore throat (POST) at 24 h [risk ratio (RR) 0.75, p = 0.006, four trials], but not at 1 h and 48 h after thyroidectomy. POST severity and hoarseness risk were lower in the LMA group than the ETT group at 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h (all p < 0.05). Nevertheless, hoarseness severity was lower in the LMA group only at postsurgical 48 h [standardized mean difference = - 0.35, p = 0.008, three trials]. Moreover, the risk of emergence cough was lower in patients using LMA than those receiving ETT (RR = 0.14, p = 0.002, two trials). The two groups did not differ in the severity of dysphagia at postoperative 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h. This meta-analysis showed that LMA may be associated with fewer pharyngolaryngeal complications compared to ETT without airway impacts. The limited number of included studies warrants further research to support our findings.

Abstract
Background Laryngeal mask airway(LMA) have been widely used in clinical practice. Irritation to the patient during the insertion of a laryngeal mask can cause hemodynamic fluctuations, which is particularly unsafe for geriatric patients. We used probit regression analysis to determine the median effective dose of sufentanil to inhibit the response to LMA insertion in geriatric patients. Methods A total of 90 patients were selected for the study using the following inclusion criteria: age ≥ 65 years old, ASA grade I–III, and scheduled to undergo intravenous general anesthesia with LMA insertion. Each patient received a dose of sufentanil for anesthesia induction in one of six levels: 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, or 0.3 μg kg−1. LMA insertion was scored with a 3-point, 6-category scale, with scores ≥ 16 indicating effective LMA insertion, and < 16 indicating ineffective LMA insertion. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and bispectral index (BIS) were recorded 1 min before induction (T1), 1 min after induction (T2), 1 min after LMA insertion (T3), and 5 min after LMA insertion (T4) in each group. In addition, the plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels and adverse reactions were measured at T2 and T3 in each dosage group. Results Probit regression analysis showed that the ED50 of sufentanil inhibiting the response to LMA insertion in geriatric patients was 0.18 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.16–0.21 μg kg−1), and the ED95 was 0.31 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.27–0.38 μg kg−1), and the probit(p) = -2.34 + 12.90 × ln(Dose)(\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Among all the patients, the number of effective LMA insertions was 57 (group A), and the number of ineffective LMA insertions was 33 (group B). The MAP, HR, and NE in group B were significantly higher than in group A at T3. Conclusions Sufentanil can effectively inhibit the patient’s response to LMA insertion, with stable hemodynamics and small stress response. The ED50 and ED95 were 0.18 μg kg−1 (95% CI: 0.16–0.21 μg kg−1) and 0.31 μg kg−1(95% CI: 0.27–0.38 μg kg−1), respectively.

Abstract
Background In patients under general anesthesia, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a valuable alternative to endotracheal intubation to maintain the airway. In this study, we compared the efficacy of LMA with an endotracheal tube (ETT) in plastic and reconstructive surgeries over 2 h on thorax and abdomen under general anesthesia in Hazrat Fatemeh Hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2020. Methods This randomized clinical trial was performed on a sample size of 80, randomly assigned to two groups. The main variables included the ease of placement, recurrent carbon dioxide content, arterial oxygen saturation, and laryngeal and tracheal spasm. In addition, the sub-variables entailed the mean duration of anesthesia, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, and abdominal distension. The obtained data were analyzed by the SPSS software version 25. Results In the present study, 76 patients were female. Mean age, recurrent carbon dioxide, arterial oxygen saturation, laryngeal and tracheal spasm, the mean duration of anesthesia, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, and abdominal distension were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions The results of this study showed that the classic laryngeal mask could be used as a means of airway control in general anesthesia for long-term surgeries of more than 2 h.

Comparison between I-gel ® and endotracheal intubation in terms of the incidence of postoperative sore throat following thyroid surgery: a randomized observational trial. Am J Transl Res 2022; 14:373-380. [PMID: 35173855 PMCID: PMC8829600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication following thyroid surgery with an endotracheal tube (ET). The I-gel® is a supraglottic airway device that has greater advantages in airway management compared with ET. This prospective trial aimed to explore the potential benefits of I-gel® compared with ET on POST. METHODS In this trial, 106 patients, classified using the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system, belonging to classes I and II, aged 18-65 years old who were prearranged for elective radical thyroidectomy, were randomly divided into the ET and I-gel® groups. All patients underwent total intravenous anesthesia (propofol, sufentanil, and cisatracurium). The incidence and severity of POST and postoperative hoarseness (PH) at 1, 6, 24, and 48 h following the operation were assessed and compared between the two groups. Moreover, the hemodynamic data during anesthesia were recorded and compared. Opioid consumption (sufentanil, propofol, and remifentanil) and postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded. The visual analog scale scores for pain at the incision site 1, 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively and Ramsay Sedation Scale scores were also evaluated and recorded. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in the incidence of POST 1, 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively (61.2% vs. 51.0%, P=0.309; 75.5% vs. 83.7%, P=0.316; 83.7% vs. 85.7%, P=0.779; and 12.2% vs. 22.4%, P=0.182, respectively) and the severity of sore throat (P=0.392) following surgery between the ET and I-gel® groups. The incidence of PH in the I-gel® group was significantly lower than that in the ET group 1, 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively (all P<0.05). Compared with the ET group, a significantly less fluctuation in heart rate 1 min after intubation (P=0.045) and extubation (P=0.001) was observed in the I-gel® group. CONCLUSIONS Although the I-gel® cannot reduce the incidence and severity of POST in patients with normal BMIs following thyroid surgery, it can reduce the occurrence and severity of PH compared with ET. The I-gel® showed superior results in terms of insertion time and better hemodynamic condition during intubation.

Abstract
Introduction: Post-anaesthetic sore throat (PAST) is a well-recognized consequence of tracheal intubation; however, quantitative morphometric measurements remain challenging. This study aimed to introduce a special laser projection device that can facilitate computer-assisted, digitalized analysis and provide important information on laryngeal mucosa change, pre and post-surgery under general anesthesia with intubation. Materials and methods: The laryngeal images were captured and divided into the control group and the intubation group. Image processing techniques were used to quantify the post-extubation laryngeal variation, with its distinct color space and texture features. Meanwhile, the maximum length of the vocal fold, vocal width at the midpoint, and maximum cross-sectional area of the glottic space were determined and calculated. These parameters were analyzed and compared pre and post-surgery. Results: A total of 69 subjects were enrolled in this study, comprising 32 subjects in the healthy group and 37 subjects in the intubation group. The color space and texture analysis with contrast and correlation profiles all shows trend toward higher measures in the intubation group than in the healthy group, with statistical significance and outstanding discrimination ability, especially in the interarytenoid region. The incidence of PAST was approximately 46% (17 patients). The gender difference, type of surgery, and the fixation position of the tube were not significantly related to the PAST occurrence. All the eigenvalues showed significant differences pre and post-surgery in the interarytenoid region and a significant trend toward red and increased contrast texture profiles was revealed. Furthermore, the glottic area showed a significant decrease of 25.29%, while the vocal width showed a significant increase post extubation. Conclusion: Our equipment and processing can measure subtle laryngeal changes that would allow a clinician to diagnose postoperative laryngeal inflammation in a simpler and less invasive way. The trend toward red, the increased contrast texture and vocal width, and the reduced glottic space were all compatible with post-intubation inflammatory response, especially in the interarytenoid region. This is important to know so that one can take appropriate steps to alleviate PAST in the future.

Abstract
Background Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a useful alternative to intubation of the trachea to maintain the airways. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of sore throat after LMA during general anesthesia in short-duration elective surgery. Method In this prospective study, 76 patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia in (XXX) during 2018 and 2019 were selected and their demographic information were entered into the data collection form. Laryngeal mask airway was used in the subjects for airway maintenance during the surgery. The incidence of sore throat at postoperative 0, 6, 12 h was measured using Visual Analogues Scale (VAS) as primary outcome and it was then compared with demographic parameters as secondary outcomes. Result The mean age of the patient was 45.48 ± 14.89 years and 46 (60.5 %) of the patients were women. The mean BMI was 24.02 ± 3.05 kg/m2. The average duration of surgery was 56.9 ± 15.9 min. The incidence of sore throat immediately after the surgery and at 6 and 12 postoperative hours was 26.3 %, 23.7 %, and 19.7 %, respectively. The incidence of sore throat after the use of LMA was not significantly correlated with age, sex, and BMI (P > 0.05) Conclusions The findings of our study showed that pain due to sore throat following laryngeal mask airway was reported to be mild in our study. The postoperative sore throat may not associated with demographic variables. Laryngeal mask airway is a useful alternative to intubation of the trachea to maintain the airways. Tracheal intubation is one of the invasive procedures used in patients undergoing surgery. The pain due to sore throat was reported to be mild in our study. Postoperative sore throat was not associated with demographic variables.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A growing body of evidence suggests that surgeons have historically over-prescribed opioid pain medications following thyroid and parathyroid surgery, thereby potentially contributing to the current US opioid epidemic. We reviewed the evidence supporting multimodal methods of pain control after cervical endocrine surgery. METHODS Fifty-one randomized clinical trials, 9 prospective cohort studies, 7 retrospective studies/reviews, and 1 survey regarding pain management for cervical endocrine surgery were include. RESULTS Most studies reported in-hospital pain scores and opioid consumption. Data on pain scores following discharge were limited. In several studies, the interventional dose was much greater than what is commonly used clinically. CONCLUSION Several evidence-based, non-opioid interventions can be incorporated into a standardized pain management protocol following cervical endocrine surgery. Little is known regarding the effects of these interventions on post-discharge pain scores and patient quality of life during recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of tracheal intubation and ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) on hemodynamics, oxygen saturation, peak airway pressure and adverse events during anesthesia for thyroid surgery. METHODS 65 patients who underwent luminal thyroid surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled as the study subjects, and were divided into control group (30 patients, tracheal intubation) and experimental group (35 patients, PLMA) using random number table. The time to establishment of artificial airway and success rate, hemodynamics, oxygen saturation, peak airway pressure and adverse effects were observed in the two groups. RESULTS The SBP, DBP, and HR levels of patients in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05), and there were no significant changes in SBP, DBP, and HR levels during the insertion and removal of the laryngeal mask, and the patients were hemodynamically stable. SpO2 and Ppeak values remained stable at 5 min, 30 min, and 60 min after the start and the end of surgery in both groups, and showed no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). A surgical airway was quickly established in both groups, and the time to airway establishment was shorter in the experimental group than in the control group. The incidence of adverse reactions during extubation was lower in the experimental group than in the control group, and the incidence of hoarseness, choking and cough differed significantly between the two groups (P < 0.05), and the adverse reactions in both groups were relieved or disappeared 24 h after the operation. CONCLUSION With LMPA, patients are more hemodynamically stable during insertion and removal of the mask, have a lower incidence of adverse events, and experience less throat irritation, with safety.
