Wie K, Zaccor N, Zou J, Vandjelovic N, Faria J. Early Adverse Respiratory Outcomes in Obese Pediatric Tonsillectomy Patients. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024. [PMID: 38822768 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if body mass index (BMI) is predictive of adverse respiratory events (ARE) in the obese pediatric population undergoing tonsillectomy. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Single institution academic otolaryngology practice. METHODS All patients 3 to 12 years old with BMI ≥95th percentile that underwent tonsillectomy March 1, 2011 to July 15, 2020 were included. The study excluded patients with comorbidities that warranted admission independent of BMI, including Trisomy 21, gross developmental delay, neuromuscular disorders, and congenital heart disease. Perioperative AREs following tonsillectomy were recorded. AREs were defined as postoperative desaturation (SpO2 < 90%), intubation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or new O2 requirement for >2 hours. RESULTS Eighteen patients (8%) had at least 1 ARE. There were no children age 5 and older with a BMI 95th percentile to 98.9th percentile who had an early adverse respiratory outcome. Preoperative polysomnogram (PSG) metrics, obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (oAHI), and oxygen saturations (SpO2) nadir was significantly different between patients with and without AREs (mean oAHI 54.3 vs 17.4, P = .02; mean SpO2 nadir 73.1% vs 84.5%, P = .05). There was no significant difference in the BMI z score (2.88 vs 2.45, P = .09) between groups. CONCLUSION AREs requiring inpatient management are uncommon in obese children after tonsillectomy. BMI is a poor independent indication for admission except at BMI extremes. We found significantly higher oAHI and lower SpO2 nadir on PSG indicate a higher risk for AREs and can guide admission postoperatively. There may be a subset of obese tonsillectomy patients who can be safely discharged home on the day of surgery.

Paediatr Anaesth 2024; 34:396-404. [PMID: 38300020 DOI: 10.1111/pan.14846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically identify and synthesize the available evidence of the neurological airway respiratory cardiovascular other-surgical severity (NARCO-SS) score as compared to other pediatric specific perioperative scoring systems. DESIGN This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. All studies in all languages comparing NARCO-SS with pediatric perioperative scoring systems against outcomes were included. Records were screened and data were extracted by three independent reviewers into standardized pilot-tested extraction templates. DATA SOURCES Electronic searches were performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL (from inception to February 2023). REVIEW METHODS The references were uploaded to a validated software for systematic reviews (Rayyan) and screened against the inclusion criteria. Full text of included studies were reviewed and the available data were tabulated. We conducted Risk of Bias analysis on the included studies using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST). RESULTS A meta-analysis could not be performed due to differences in outcome definitions across the included studies. Correlations between NARCO-SS scores, ASA-PS scores and the predefined outcomes of each study were presented as a narrative synthesis. The included studies were determined to have a high risk of bias using the PROBAST. CONCLUSIONS This review has identified a need for high-quality studies assessing NARCO-SS before recommendations for clinical practice can be made. Addressing its limitations and enhancing the NARCO-SS through targeted refinements of its individual descriptive categories could potentially lead to improvement in its overall predictive accuracy and facilitate wider adoption into clinical practice.

J Pediatr Surg 2024; 59:660-666. [PMID: 38171956 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2023.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the safety and effectiveness of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. METHODS Studies were searched on the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Primary outcomes were major perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), namely laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desaturation, and aspiration. Secondary outcomes were minor PRAEs, anesthesia time, and recovery time. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate risk ratios (RR), weighted mean difference (WMD), and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) by using random effects models. RESULTS In total, 5 RCTs comprising 402 patients were included. Regarding major PRAEs, laryngospasm (RR: 0.43, 95 % CI: 0.12 to 1.47; p = 0.18), bronchospasm, and aspiration all demonstrated no difference between the laryngeal and endotracheal groups. Desaturation exhibited a trend, but this trend was not sufficiently supported with statistical evidence (p = 0.09). For minor PRAEs, fewer patients experienced incidence of cough after laryngeal mask use (RR: 0.27, 95 % CI: 0.11 to 0.67; p = 0.005). Other PRAE, namely hoarseness (p = 0.06), sore throat (RR: 1.88, 95 % CI: 0.76 to 4.66; p = 0.18), and stridor, did not differ between the 2 groups. Additionally, both anesthesia time (WMD: -6.88 min, 95 % CI: -11.88 to -1.89; p < 0.00001) and recovery time (WMD: -4.85 min, 95 % CI: -6.51 to -3.19; p < 0.00001) were shortened in the LMA group. CONCLUSION LMA used in pediatric laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair demonstrated no greater safety risks than endotracheal tube intubation did. Thus, anesthesiologists may shift from conventional endotracheal tube use to LMA use. Moreover, anesthesia and recovery times were shortened in the LMA group, which resulted in more efficient use of the operating room. Because of these benefits, LMA could be an appropriate option for pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Treatment Study, LEVEL III.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to briefly review the pediatric ambulatory surgery landscape, identify two of the most common comorbidities affecting this population, examine the influence of pediatric obesity and sleep disordered breathing (SDB)/obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on perioperative care, and provide information that can be used when formulating site specific criteria for ambulatory surgical centers. RECENT FINDINGS Most pediatric surgeries performed are now ambulatory, a majority of which take place outside of academic centers. Children with comorbidities such as obesity and SDB/OSA are undergoing surgical or diagnostic procedures which were previously deemed unacceptable for ambulatory surgery. The increase in pediatric ambulatory surgery coupled with a recent shortage of pediatric anesthesiologists means many children will receive anesthesia care from general clinicians who care for children intermittently and may be unfamiliar with the perioperative risks these comorbidities can present. SUMMARY Our pediatric ambulatory surgical population is anticipated to demonstrate increasing rates of obesity and SDB/OSA. Bringing attention to potential perioperative complications associated with these comorbidities provides a stronger foundation upon which to formulate criteria for individual ambulatory centers. It allows for targeted anesthetic management, influences provider assignments and/or staffing ratios, and informs scheduling times. For anesthesiologists who do not practice pediatric anesthesia daily, knowing what to anticipate plays a significant role in the ability to eliminate surprises and care for these patients safely.

Abstract
PURPOSE Describe the impact of the implementation of an evidence-based pediatric preoperative risk assessment (PPRA) checklist on the frequency of postanesthesia care unit (PACU) nursing assessments and interventions in children at risk for respiratory complications during emergence from anesthesia. DESIGN Prospective pre-/postdesign. METHODS Pediatric perianesthesia nurses assessed 100 children preintervention according to current standard. After nurses received pediatric preoperative risk factor (PPRF) education, another 100 children were assessed postintervention using the PPRA checklist. Pre-/postpatients were unmatched for statistical purposes due to two different groups. Frequency of PACU nursing respiratory assessments/interventions was evaluated. FINDINGS Demographic variables, risk factors, frequency of nursing assessments/interventions were summarized in pre-/postinterventions. Significant differences (P < .001) were noted between pre-/postintervention groups with increased frequency of postnursing assessments/interventions that correlated with increased risk factors and weighted risk factors. CONCLUSIONS By identifying total PPRFs, PACU nurses used their plan of care to frequently assess and pre-emptively intervene with children who had increased risk factors to prevent or mitigate respiratory complications on emergence from anesthesia.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13101789. [PMID: 37238272 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13101789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Intravenous sedation has been well accepted to allow dental restoration in uncooperative children while avoiding aspiration and laryngospasm; however, intravenous anesthetics such as propofol may lead to undesired effects such as respiratory depression and delayed recovery. The use of the bispectral index system (BIS), a monitoring system reflective of the hypnotic state, is con-troversial in the reduction in the risk of respiratory adverse events (RAEs), recovery time, the in-travenous drug dosage, and post-procedural events. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether BIS is advantageous in pediatric dental procedures. Methods A total of 206 cases, aged 2-8 years, receiving dental procedures under deep sedation with propofol using target-controlled infusion (TCI) technique were enrolled in the study. BIS level was not monitored in 93 children whereas it was for 113 children, among which BIS values were maintained between 50-65. Physiological variables and adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted using Chi-square, Mann Whitney U, Independent Samples t and Wilcoxon signed tests, with a p value of <0.05 considered to be statistically significant. Results Although no statistical significance in the post-discharge events and total amount of propofol used was observed, a clear significance was identified in periprocedural adverse events (hypoxia, apnea, and recurrent cough, all p value < 0.05) and discharge time (63.4 ± 23.2 vs. 74.5 ± 24.0 min, p value < 0.001) between these two groups. Conclusions The application of BIS in combination with TCI may be beneficial for young children undergoing deep sedation for dental procedures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Failure to secure an airway during general anaesthesia is a major cause of adverse events (AEs) in children. The safety of paediatric anaesthesia may be improved by identifying the incidence of AEs and their attributed risk factors. The aim of the current study is to obtain real-world data on the incidence of adverse peri-intubation events and assess their association with patient characteristics (including the prevalence of difficult airway features) and choice of anaesthesia management. These data can be used to develop a targeted education programme for anaesthesia providers towards quality improvement activities. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective, multicentre, registry-based, cross-sectional study will be conducted in four tertiary care hospitals in Japan from June 2022 to May 2025. Children <18 years of age undergoing surgical and/or diagnostic test procedures under general anaesthesia or sedation by anaesthesiologists will be enrolled in this study. Data on patient characteristics, discipline of anaesthesia providers and methodology of airway management will be collected through a standardised verification system. The exposure of interest is the presence of difficult airway features defined based on the craniofacial appearance. The primary and secondary endpoints are all AEs associated with airway management and reduced peripheral capillary oxygen saturation values. Potential confounders are related to the failure to secure the airway and variations in the anaesthesia providers' levels, adjusted using hierarchical multivariable regression models with mixed effects. The sample size was calculated to be approximately 16 000 assuming a 99% probability of obtaining a 95% Wilson CI with±0.3% of the half-width for the 2.0% of the incidence of critical AEs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Aichi Children's Health and Medical Center (2021051). The results will be reported in a peer-reviewed journal and a relevant academic conference. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000047351.

Abstract
Objectives Anesthesia for children with an upper respiratory tract infection (URI) has an increased risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) that may be predicted according to the COLDS score. The aims of this study were to evaluate the validity of the COLDS score in children undergoing ilioinguinal ambulatory surgery with mild to moderate URI and to investigate new predictors of PRAEs. Methods This was a prospective observational study including children aged 1–5 years with mild to moderate symptoms of URI who were proposed for ambulatory ilioinguinal surgery. The anesthesia protocol was standardized. Patients were divided into two groups according to the incidence of PRAEs. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess predictors for PRAEs. Results In this observational study, 216 children were included. The incidence of PRAEs was 21%. Predictors of PRAEs were respiratory comorbidities (adjusted OR (aOR)=6.3, 95% CI 1.19 to 33.2; p=0.003), patients postponed before 15 days (aOR=4.3, 95% CI 0.83 to 22.4; p=0.029), passive smoking (aOR=5.31, 95% CI 2.07 to 13.6; p=0.001), and COLDS score of >10 (aOR=3.7, 95% CI 0.2 to 53.4; p=0.036). Conclusions Even in ambulatory surgery, the COLDS score was effective in predicting the risks of PRAEs. Passive smoking and previous comorbidities were the main predictors of PRAEs in our population. It seems that children with severe URI should be postponed to receive surgery for more than 15 days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing the duration of intraoperative hypoxemia in pediatric patients by means of rapid detection and early intervention is considered crucial by clinicians. We aimed to develop and validate a machine learning model that can predict intraoperative hypoxemia events 1 min ahead in children undergoing general anesthesia. METHODS This retrospective study used prospectively collected intraoperative vital signs and parameters from the anesthesia ventilator machine extracted every 2 s in pediatric patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia between January 2019 and October 2020 in a tertiary academic hospital. Intraoperative hypoxemia was defined as oxygen saturation <95% at any point during surgery. Three common machine learning techniques were employed to develop models using the training dataset: gradient-boosting machine (GBM), long short-term memory (LSTM), and transformer. The performances of the models were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve using randomly assigned internal testing dataset. We also validated the developed models using temporal holdout dataset. Pediatric patient surgery cases between November 2020 and January 2021 were used. The performances of the models were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS In total, 1,540 (11.73%) patients with intraoperative hypoxemia out of 13,130 patients' records with 2,367 episodes were included for developing the model dataset. After model development, 200 (13.25%) of the 1,510 patients' records with 289 episodes were used for holdout validation. Among the models developed, the GBM had the highest AUROC of 0.904 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.902 to 0.906), which was significantly higher than that of the LSTM (0.843, 95% CI 0.840 to 0.846 P < .001) and the transformer model (0.885, 95% CI, 0.882-0.887, P < .001). In holdout validation, GBM also demonstrated best performance with an AUROC of 0.939 (95% CI 0.936 to 0.941) which was better than LSTM (0.904, 95% CI 0.900 to 0.907, P < .001) and the transformer model (0.929, 95% CI 0.926 to 0.932, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Machine learning models can be used to predict upcoming intraoperative hypoxemia in real-time based on the biosignals acquired by patient monitors, which can be useful for clinicians for prediction and proactive treatment of hypoxemia in an intraoperative setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative respiratory adverse events are common in children. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the transdermal β-2 agonist, tulobuterol, compared with that of placebo on the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy. METHODS In this triple-blinded (patient, anesthesia provider, and outcome assessor) randomized controlled trial, 188 patients were randomly allocated to receive tulobuterol or a placebo. The tulobuterol groups received a tulobuterol patch (1 mg) masked with a bandage, whereas the placebo only received the bandage. The assigned bandage was applied to the patients 8 to 10 hours before the surgery. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any perioperative respiratory adverse events: oxygen desaturation <95%, airway obstruction, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, severe coughing, or stridor. The outcomes were evaluated using the average relative effect test, which estimates the effect of individual components of a composite outcome and then averages effects across components. RESULTS A total of 88 and 94 patients who received tulobuterol and placebo, respectively, were analyzed. The incidence of any perioperative respiratory adverse event was lower with tulobuterol (n = 13/88; 14.7%) than that with the placebo (n = 40/94; 42.5%), with an estimated average relative risk (95% confidence interval) across components of 0.35 (0.20-0.60; P < .001). The symptoms of airway obstruction were lower with tulobuterol (n = 8/88; 9.0%) than that with the placebo (n = 32/94; 34.0%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.31 (0.17-0.56; P < .001). The occurrence of severe coughing was lower with tulobuterol (n = 1/88; 1.1%) than that with the placebo (n = 8/94; 8.5%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.15 (0.03-0.68; P = .014). CONCLUSIONS In preschool children undergoing tonsillectomy, the preoperative application of a tulobuterol patch could decrease the occurrence of perioperative respiratory adverse events. Further studies are needed to elucidate the effect of the tulobuterol patch in a broad spectrum of pediatric anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing wildfire activity worldwide has led to exposure to poor air quality and numerous detrimental health impacts. This study hypothesized an association between exposure to poor air quality from wildfire smoke and adverse respiratory events under general anesthesia in pediatric patients. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective double-cohort study examining two significant wildfire events in Northern California. Pediatric patients presenting for elective surgery during periods of unhealthy air quality were compared to those during periods of healthy air quality. The primary exposure, unhealthy air, was determined using local air quality sensors. The primary outcome was the occurrence of an adverse respiratory event under anesthesia. Secondary analysis included association with other known risk factors for adverse respiratory events. RESULTS 625 patients were included in the analysis. The overall risk of a respiratory complication was 42.4% (265/625). In children without history of reactive airway disease, the risk of adverse respiratory events did not change during unhealthy air periods (102/253, 40.3%) as compared with healthy air periods (95/226, 42.0%) (relative risk 0.96 (0.77 to 1.19), p = 0.703). In children with history of reactive airway disease, the risk of adverse respiratory events increased from 36.8% (25/68) during healthy air periods to 55.1% (43/78) during periods with unhealthy air (1.50 (1.04 to 2.17), p = 0.032). The effect of air quality on adverse respiratory events was significantly modified by reactive airways disease status (1.56 (1.02 to 2.40), p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with underlying risk factors for respiratory complications under general anesthesia had a greater incidence of adverse respiratory events during periods of unhealthy air quality caused by wildfire smoke. In this vulnerable patient population, postponing elective anesthetics should be considered when air quality is poor.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) are the most common complication during pediatric anesthesia, and they may be affected by the administration of preoperative sedatives. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine or midazolam used for premedication on the occurrence of PRAEs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This single-center, double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted among children aged 0 to 12 years undergoing elective tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy from October 2020 to June 2021 at Children's Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, China. Data analysis was performed from June to October 2021. INTERVENTIONS Children were randomly assigned to 3 groups: the midazolam group received intranasal midazolam (0.1 mg/kg), and the dexmedetomidine group received intranasal dexmedetomidine (2.0 μg/kg) for premedication. The normal saline group received intranasal 0.9% saline for control. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the difference in the incidence of PRAEs among the 3 groups. The secondary outcomes were the frequency of the individual PRAEs, including the incidence of such events during the induction and recovery periods, postoperative emergence delirium, postoperative pain score, sedation success rate, and heart rate values. RESULTS A total of 384 children (median [IQR] age, 7 [5-10] years; 227 boys [59.1%]) were enrolled and randomized; 373 data sets were available for intention-to-treat analysis (124 children in the midazolam group, 124 children in the dexmedetomidine group, and 125 children in the normal saline group). After the data were adjusted for age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, body mass index, obstructive sleep apnea, upper respiratory tract infection, and passive smoking, children in the midazolam group were more likely to experience PRAEs than those in the normal saline group (70 of 124 children [56.5%] vs 51 of 125 children [40.8%]; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.99; 95% CI, 1.18-3.35), whereas the dexmedetomidine group had a significantly lower PRAEs incidence than the normal saline group (30 of 124 children [24.2%] vs 51 of 125 children [40.8%]; aOR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26-0.78). Compared with the dexmedetomidine group, the midazolam group had a higher risk of PRAEs (aOR, 4.44; 95% CI, 2.54-7.76), but no other serious clinical adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this randomized clinical trial, intranasal midazolam used for premedication was associated with increased incidence of PRAEs, whereas premedication with intranasal dexmedetomidine was associated with reduced incidence of PRAEs. Where clinically appropriate, anesthesiologists should consider using intranasal dexmedetomidine for sedation in children undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Abstract
Pediatric surgery cases are increasing worldwide. Within pediatric anesthesia, perioperative respiratory adverse events are the most common precipitant leading to serious complications. They can have intraoperative impact on the surgical procedure itself, lead to premature case termination and in addition may have postoperative impact resulting in longer hospitalization stays and costs. Although most perioperative respiratory adverse events can be promptly detected and managed, and will not lead to any sequelae, the risk of life-threatening progression remains. The incidence of respiratory adverse events increases in children with comorbid respiratory and/or nonrespiratory illnesses. Optimized perioperative patient care, risk-stratified care level choice, and practitioners with appropriate training allow for risk mitigation. This review will discuss patient and surgical risk factors with a focus on common patient comorbid illnesses and review scoring systems to quantify risk.

Abstract
Perioperative respiratory adverse events are the most common cause of critical events in children undergoing anesthesia and surgery. While many risk factors remain unmodifiable, there are numerous anesthetic management decisions which can impact the incidence and impact of these events, especially in at-risk children. Ongoing research continues to improve our understanding of both the influence of risk factors and the effect of specific interventions. This review discusses anesthesia risk factors and outlines strategies to reduce the rate and impact of perioperative respiratory adverse events with a chronologic based inquiry into anesthetic management decisions through the perioperative period from premedication to postoperative disposition.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the associated risk factors of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) in children undergoing airway surgery and establish and validate a nomogram prediction model for PRAEs. Patients and Methods This study involved 709 children undergoing airway surgery between November 2020 and July 2021, aged ≤18 years in the affiliated hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. They were divided into training (70%; n = 496) and validation (30%; n = 213) cohorts. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to develop a risk nomogram model. Concordance index values, calibration plot, decision curve analysis, and the area under the curve (AUC) were examined. Results PRAEs were found in 226 of 496 patients (45.6%) and 88 of 213 patients (41.3%) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The perioperative risk factors associated with PRAEs were age, obesity, degree of upper respiratory tract infection, premedication, and passive smoking. The risk nomogram model showed good discrimination power, and the AUC generated to predict survival in the training cohort was 0.760 (95% confidence interval, 0.695–0.875). In the validation cohort, the AUC of survival predictions was 0.802 (95% confidence interval, 0.797–0.895). Calibration plots and decision curve analysis showed good model performance in both datasets. The sensitivity and specificity of the risk nomogram model were calculated, and the result showed the sensitivity of 69.5% and 64.8% and specificity of 73.3% and 81.6% for the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Conclusion The present study showed the proposed nomogram achieved an optimal prediction of PRAEs in patients undergoing airway surgery, which can provide a certain reference value for predicting the high-risk population of perioperative respiratory adverse events and can lead to reasonable preventive and treatment measures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Due to the serious nature of respiratory adverse events, understanding their incidence can help in decisions regarding safe postoperative disposition. There have been no studies, however, evaluating the risk of postoperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) in children undergoing endoscopic laryngeal cleft (LC) repair, which is the primary objective of this study. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent LC repair at a large tertiary children's hospital from 2015 to 2020. PRAEs were defined as having at least one of the following: remained intubated, required reintubation, required positive pressure ventilation, required high flow O2 nasal cannula, or required more than one dose of racemic epinephrine. Univariate analyses compared demographic, preoperative characteristics, and intraoperative characteristics between those with and without a PRAE. RESULTS Overall, 8/26 (31%) patients had a PRAE and there were no differences between patients who did and did not have a PRAE and most comorbidities. Younger age (p = 0.03), being male (p = 0.07), and being admitted preoperatively (p = 0.07) were potentially associated with PRAEs. Need for intraoperative intubation for any reason or duration was associated with increased incidence of PRAEs (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The overall 31% incidence of postoperative respiratory adverse events reaffirms the appropriateness of PICU disposition for a large proportion of children undergoing endoscopic LC repair. Further studies with increased sample sizes are needed to tease apart patient or procedure-specific factors that significantly increase the risk of respiratory adverse events to have more definitive evidence regarding safe postoperative disposition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The rate and predictors of respiratory adverse events (RAEs) during transport discharged from operating room after interventional cardiac catheterization in children remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors, and to construct a nomogram for predicting RAEs during transport in this pediatric surgical treatment. METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 290 consecutive pediatric patients who underwent ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) between February 2019 and December 2020. Independent predictors were used to develop a nomogram, and a bootstrap resampling approach was used to conduct internal validation. Composite RAEs were defined as the occurrence of at least 1 complication regarding laryngospasm, bronchospasm, apnea, severe cough, airway secretions, airway obstruction, and oxygen desaturation. RESULTS The rate of RAEs during transport was 23.1% (67 out of 290). Multivariate analysis identified age (vs. ≤3 years, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.507, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.268-0.958, P = 0.036), preoperative upper respiratory tract infections (URI, aOR = 2.335, 95% CI, 1.223-4.460, P = 0.01), type of surgery (vs. VSD, for ASD, aOR = 2.856, 95% CI, 1.272-6.411, P = 0.011; for PDA, aOR = 5.518, 95% CI, 2.425-12.553, P < 0.001), morphine equivalent (vs. ≤0.153 mg/kg, aOR = 2.904, 95% CI, 1.371-6.150, P = 0.005), atropine usage (aOR = 0.463, 95% CI, 0.244-0.879, P = 0.019), and RAEs during extubation to transport (aOR = 5.004, 95% CI, 2.633-9.511, P < 0.001) as independent predictors of RAEs during transport. These six candidate predictors were used to develop a nomogram, which showed a C-statistic value of 0.809 and good calibration (P = 0.844). Internal validation revealed similarly good discrimination (C-statistic, 0.782; 95% CI, 0.726-0.837) and calibration. Decision curve analysis (DCA) also demonstrated the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. CONCLUSION The high rate of RAEs during transport reminds us of the need for more medical care and attention. The proposed nomogram can reliably identify pediatric patients at high risk of RAEs during transport and guide clinicians to make proper transport plans. Our findings have important and meaningful implications for RAEs risk prediction, clinical intervention and healthcare quality control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) are frequent among pediatrics surgical patients and are accountable for 3/4th of perioperative critical incidents and 1/3rd of cardiac arrests. OBJECTIVE Assess the prevalence and factors associated with PRAEs among pediatric surgical patients in University Hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia, 2020. METHODOLOGY After ethical approval obtained prospective observational study was conducted among 210 pediatric surgical patients. Perioperative respiratory adverse events were defined as the occurrence of any episode of single/combination of coughing, breath holding, hypoxemia, laryngospasm and bronchospasm. Bivariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were performed and variables with p < 0.05 at 95% confidence interval were considered as statistically significant. RESULTS The prevalence of PRAEs was 26.2% (CI: 20.5-30.9%). A total of 129 episodes of PRAEs were occurred and of them, 89 (69.0%) were occurred in the postoperative period. Desaturation was the predominant adverse event which was observed 61 (47.3%) times. Age <1 year (AOR: 3.6, CI: 1.3-10.0), ASA ≥ 3 (AOR: 5.2, CI: 1.9-22.9), upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) (AOR: 7.6, CI: 1.9-30.2), secretions in the upper airway (AOR: 4.8, CI: 1.4-15.9) and airway related surgery (AOR: 6.0, CI: 1.5-24.1) were significantly associated with PRAEs. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of PRAEs was high among pediatric surgical patients; the postoperative period was the most critical time for the occurrence of PRAEs and desaturation was the commonest PRAE. Age <1 year, URTIs (recent or active), secretions in the upper airways, ASA ≥ 3 and airway related surgery were significantly associated with PRAEs. Clinicians should perform effective risk assessment, preoperative optimization and preparation for the management of PRAEs.

Paediatr Anaesth 2021; 31:1290-1297. [PMID: 34478208 DOI: 10.1111/pan.14285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Children with aerodigestive disorders often have many of the reported risk factors for development of perioperative respiratory adverse events. This study sought to evaluate the incidence of such events in this group of patients undergoing general anesthesia for "triple endoscopy" (flexible bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, rigid laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy) and to identify any patient-specific or procedure-specific risk factors associated with higher incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of children 18 years or younger who underwent triple endoscopy as part of an aerodigestive evaluation. Data collected from medical records included: preoperative polysomnography, symptoms of acute respiratory illness, medical comorbidities, demographics, postoperative hospital or intensive care unit admission, and all respiratory events and interventions in the perioperative period. Patient-specific and procedure-specific factors were investigated via univariate analysis for any correlations with perioperative respiratory adverse events. RESULTS Of the 122 patients undergoing triple endoscopy, 69 (57%) experienced a perioperative respiratory adverse event. We found no difference in the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events among children with documented lung disease compared with those with no lung disease (OR: 0.89, p = .8 95% CI: 0.43, 1.8), and no significant difference between those children who had a respiratory illness at the time of surgery, 1-2 weeks prior, 3-4 weeks prior, and those with no preceding respiratory illness. A higher percentage of males had a perioperative respiratory adverse event, compared with females (OR: 2.7, p = .01 95% CI: 1.3, 5.09). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing triple endoscopy for evaluation of aerodigestive disorders at our institution experienced perioperative respiratory adverse events at a rate of 57%.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orofacial clefts are the most common craniofacial anomaly observed in the United States. Permitted by recent advancements in anesthesia and multimodal pain management, there has been a trend toward outpatient cleft lip repair to alleviate hospital burden and minimize healthcare costs. The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates between outpatient and inpatient cleft lip repair from large national samples as well as identify preoperative factors that predicted discharge status. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for pediatrics was used to analyze 30-day outcomes for all patients undergoing cleft lip repair (CPT (current procedural terminology) code 40700) from 2012 to 2019. Complication rates were compared across 3 groups: same day discharge, next day discharge, and later discharge. Preoperative factors, including comorbidities and demographics, were analyzed to determine the impact of discharge date on complications as well as identify independent predictors of discharge timing and perioperative complications. RESULTS A total of 6689 patients underwent primary cleft lip repair, with 16.8% discharging on day of surgery, and 72.4% discharging 1 day after surgery. Complication rates were statistically equivalent between same day and next day discharge. Preoperative factors predicting complication and postoperative admission included age <6 months and weight less than ten pounds at the time of surgery. Patients discharged after more than 1 day in the hospital had higher rates of complications as well as more preoperative comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS Complication rates between same day and next day discharge are equivalent, suggesting that same day discharge is a safe option in select patients. Clinical judgment is critical in making these decisions.

Can Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery be Done Safely in a Freestanding Ambulatory Surgery Center? Review of 3780 Cases. J Pediatr Orthop 2021; 41:e85-e89.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the intraoperative and 30-day postoperative complication rates in a large consecutive cohort of pediatric patients who had orthopaedic surgery at a freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC). The authors also wanted to identify the rates of same-day, urgent hospital transfers, and 30-day hospital admissions. The authors hypothesized that pediatric orthopaedic procedures at a freestanding ASC can be done safely with a low rate of complications. METHODS A retrospective review identified patients aged 17 years or younger who had surgery at a freestanding ASC over a 9-year period. Adverse outcomes were divided into intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, need for the secondary procedure, unexpected hospital admission on the same day of the procedure, and unexpected hospital admission within 30 days of the index procedure. Complications were graded as grade 1, the complication could be treated without additional surgery or hospitalization; grade 2, the complication resulted in an unplanned return to the operating room (OR) or hospital admission; or grade 3, the complication resulted in an unplanned return to the OR or hospitalization with a change in the overall treatment plan. RESULTS Adequate follow-up was available for 3780 (86.1%) surgical procedures. Overall, there were 9 (0.24%) intraoperative complications, 2 (0.08%) urgent hospital transfers, 114 (3%) complications, and 16 (0.42%) readmissions. Seven of the 9 intraoperative complications resolved before leaving the OR, and 2 required return to the OR.Neither complications nor hospitalizations correlated with age, race, gender, or length or type of surgery. There was no correlation between the presence of medical comorbidities, body mass index, or American Society of Anesthesiologists score and complication or hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric orthopaedic surgical procedures can be performed safely in an ASC because of multiple factors that include dedicated surgical teams, single-purpose ORs, and strict preoperative screening criteria. The rates of an emergency hospital transfer, surgical complications, and 30-day readmission, even by stringent criteria, are lower than those reported for outpatient procedures performed in the hospital setting. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV-case series.

Abstract
Anesthesiology is one of the leading medical specialties in patient safety. Pediatric anesthesiology is inherently higher risk than adult anesthesia due to differences in the physiology in children. In this review, we aimed to describe the highest yield safety topics for pediatric anesthesia and efforts to ameliorate risk. Conclusions: Pediatric anesthesiology has made great strides in patient perioperative safety with initiatives including the creation of a specialty society, quality and safety committees, large multi-institutional research efforts, and quality improvement initiatives. Common pediatric peri-operative events are now monitored with multi-institution and organization collaborative efforts, such as Wake Up Safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Utilizing the intrinsic surgical risk (ISR) and the patient's chronic and acute conditions, this study aims to develop and validate a comprehensive predictive model of perioperative morbidity in children undergoing noncardiac surgery. METHODS Following institutional review board (IRB) approval at a tertiary care children's hospital, data for all noncardiac surgical encounters for a derivation dataset from July 2017 to December 2018 including 16,724 cases and for a validation dataset from January 2019 to December 2019 including 9043 cases were collected retrospectively. The primary outcome was a composite morbidity score defined by unplanned transfer to an intensive care unit (ICU), acute respiratory failure requiring intubation, postoperative need for noninvasive or invasive positive pressure ventilation, or cardiac arrest. Internal model validation was performed using 1000 bootstrap resamples, and external validation was performed using the 2019 validation cohort. RESULTS A total of 1519 surgical cases (9.1%) experienced the defined composite morbidity. Using multivariable logistic regression, the Risk Assessment of Morbidity in Pediatric Surgery (RAMPS) score was developed with very good predictive ability in the derivation cohort (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.805; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.795-0.816), very good internal validity using 1000 bootstrap resamples (bias-corrected Nagelkerke R = 0.21 and Brier score = 0.07), and good external validity (AUC = 0.783; 95% CI, 0.770-0.797). The included variables are age <5 years, critically ill, chronic condition indicator (CCI) ≥3, significant CCI ≥2, and ISR quartile ≥3. The RAMPS score ranges from 0 to 10, with the risk of composite morbidity ranging from 1.8% to 42.7%. CONCLUSIONS The RAMPS score provides the ability to identify a high-risk cohort of pediatric patients using a 5-component tool, and it demonstrated good internal and external validity and generalizability. It also provides an opportunity to improve perioperative planning with the intent of improving both individual-patient outcomes and the appropriate allocation of health care resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is a known biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of bronchial hyperreactivity in adults and children. AIMS To investigate the potential role of eNO measurement for predicting perioperative respiratory adverse events in children, we sought to determine its feasibility and acceptability before adenotonsillectomy. METHODS We attempted eNO testing in children, 4-12 years of age, immediately prior to admission for outpatient adenotonsillectomy. We used correlations between eNO levels and postoperative adverse respiratory events to make sample size predictions for future studies that address the predictability of the device. RESULTS One hundred and three (53%) of 192 children were able to provide an eNO sample. The success rate increased with age from 23% (9%-38%) at age 4 to over 85% (54%-98%) after age 9. Using the eNO normal value (<20 ppb) as a cutoff, an expected sample size to detect a significant difference between children with and without adverse events is 868, assuming that respiratory adverse events occur in 29% of children. CONCLUSIONS eNO testing on the day of surgery has limited feasibility in children younger than 7 years of age. The most common reason for failure was inadequate physical performance while interacting with the testing device. The role of this respiratory biomarker in the context of perioperative outcomes for pediatric adenotonsillectomy remains unknown and should be further studied with improved technologies.

Abstract
There have been significant advancements in the safe delivery of anesthesia as well as improvements in surgical technique; however, the perioperative period can still be high risk for the pediatric patient. Perioperative respiratory complications (PRCs) are some of the most common critical events that can occur in pediatric surgical patients and they can lead to increased length of hospitalization, worsened patient outcomes, and higher hospital and postoperative costs. It is important to determine the various factors that put pediatric patients at increased risk of PRCs. This will allow for more detailed and accurate informed consent, optimized perioperative management strategy, improved allocation of clinical resources, and, hopefully, better patient experience. There are only a few risk prediction models/scoring tools developed for and validated in the pediatric patient population, but they have been useful in helping identify the key factors associated with a high likelihood of developing PRCs. Some of these factors are patient factors, while others are procedure-related factors. Some of these factors may be modified such that the patient’s clinical status is optimized preoperatively to decrease the risk of PRCs occurring perioperatively. Fore knowledge of the factors that are not able to be modified can help guide allocation of perioperative clinical resources such that the negative impact of these non-modifiable factors is buffered. Additional training in pediatric anesthesia or focused expertise in pediatric airway management, vascular access and management of massive hemorrhage should be considered for the perioperative management of the less than 3 age group. Intraoperative ventilation strategy plays a key role in determining respiratory outcomes for both adult and pediatric surgical patients. Key components of lung protective mechanical ventilation strategy such as low tidal volume and moderate PEEP used in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in pediatric intensive care units have been adopted in pediatric operating rooms. Adequate post-operative analgesia that balances pain control with appropriate mental status and respiratory drive is important in reducing PRCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) are known complications following adenotonsillectomy (AT). Clinical data at a single institution were reviewed to investigate the factors that may contribute to PRAEs in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The relationship between PRAEs in the PACU and escalation of care, defined as either an unplanned admission for outpatient surgery or unplanned pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, was investigated. METHODS The perioperative records for all patients who underwent AT from 2016 to 2018 were reviewed. The surgical procedure was performed at both the main campus and the ambulatory surgery center in accordance with the institutional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) guidelines. Patient characteristics and intraoperative medications were compared. Categorical variables were summarized as counts with percentages and compared using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests. Continuous variables were summarized as medians with interquartile ranges and compared using rank-sum tests. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association of intraoperative dosing with the occurrence of PRAEs. RESULTS The study cohort included 6110 patients. Ninety-three patients (2%) experienced PRAEs in the PACU. Of these 93 patients, 14 (15%) resulted in an escalation of care, nearly all of which were unplanned PICU admissions. PRAEs tended to occur in younger patients, non-Hispanic black patients, and those with a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status. CONCLUSIONS PRAEs are infrequent after AT at a tertiary institution with OSA guidelines in place. However, when PRAEs do occur, escalation of care may be required. Risk factors include age, ethnic background, and ASA physical status. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Regional anesthesia provides effective anesthesia and pain relief in infants with age-specific data attesting to safety and efficacy. Regional anesthesia decreases exposure to opioids and general anesthetic agents and associated adverse drug effects, suppresses the stress response, and provides better hemodynamic stability compared to general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia can prevent long-term behavioral responses to pain. As a result, the overall number and variety of nerve blocks being used in infants is increasing. While neuraxial blocks are the most common blocks performed in infants, the introduction of ultrasound imaging and a better safety profile has advanced the use of peripheral nerve blocks. Infant-specific pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of local anesthetic medications are reviewed including risk factors for the accumulation of high serum levels of unbound, pharmacologically active drug. Bupivacaine accumulates with continuous infusion and 2-chloroprocaine can be used as an alternative. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity has the highest incidence in infants less than 6 months of age and is associated with bolus dosing and penile nerve blocks. Local anesthetic toxicity is treated by securing the airway, suppression of seizure activity and implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Administration of intralipid (intravenous lipid emulsion) is initiated at the first sign of toxicity. A high level of expertise in regional anesthesia is needed when treating infants due to their unique development.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly treated with adenotonsillectomy (AT), bringing risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs). We aimed to concurrently identify clinical and polysomnographic predictors of PRAEs in children undergoing AT. METHODS Retrospective study of children undergoing AT at a tertiary-care pediatric hospital, with prior in-hospital polysomnography, January 2010 to December 2016. PRAEs included those requiring oxygen, jaw thrust, positive airway pressure, or mechanical ventilation. Relationships of PRAEs to preoperative comorbidities or polysomnography results were examined with univariable logistic regression. Variables with P < .1 and age were included in backward stepwise multivariable logistic regression. Predictive performance (area under the curve, AUC) was validated with bootstrap resampling. RESULTS Analysis included 374 children, median age 6.1 years; 286 (76.5%) had ≥ 1 comorbidity. 344 (92.0%) had sleep-disordered breathing; 232 (62.0%) moderate-severe; 66 (17.6%) had ≥ 1 PRAE. PRAEs were more frequent in children with craniofacial, genetic, cardiac, airway anomaly, or neurological conditions, AHI ≥ 5 events/h and oxygen saturation nadir ≤ 80% on preoperative polysomnography. Prediction modeling identified cardiac comorbidity (odds ratio [OR] 2.09 [1.11, 3.89]), airway anomaly (OR 3.19 [1.33, 7.49]), and younger age (OR < 3 years: 4.10 (1.79, 9.26; 3 to 6 years: 2.21 [1.18, 4.15]) were associated with PRAEs (AUC 0.74; corrected AUC 0.68). CONCLUSIONS Prediction modeling concurrently evaluating comorbidities and polysomnography metrics identified cardiac disease, airway anomaly, and young age as independent predictors of PRAEs. These findings suggest that medical comorbidity and age are more important factors in predicting PRAEs than PSG metrics in a medically complex population.

Raghavan K, Moo DXY, Tan Z. Severe obesity in children as an independent risk factor for perioperative respiratory adverse events during anaesthesia for minor non-airway surgery, a retrospective observational study. PROCEEDINGS OF SINGAPORE HEALTHCARE 2019. [DOI: 10.1177/2010105818802994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to quantify grades of obesity and their independent effects on perioperative adverse events in children having ambulatory minor non-airway surgery. Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval, we selected every tenth child aged 2 to 16 years who was identified as having been a day case between January 2012 and December 2014. Weight groups were defined based on age- and gender-specific body mass index (BMI) cutoff points. A sample size of 1102 was calculated to demonstrate a three-fold increase in the primary outcome measure, perioperative respiratory-airway adverse events, among obese children, with a power of 80% and an alpha error of 5%. Chi-squared and Fisher exact tests were used to compare proportions, and independent sample t tests were used to compare means. Results: Severely obese children had a significantly higher incidence of perioperative respiratory-airway adverse events when compared to normal-weight children despite no difference in respiratory and other comorbidity. Obese children had higher prevalence of overall medical comorbidities and obstructive sleep apnoea when compared to normal-weight children and there was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative respiratory-airway adverse events and other outcome measures between obese and normal-weight children. Conclusions and recommendations: Severely obese children have a higher risk of perioperative respiratory-airway adverse events even during minor non-airway surgery despite absence of medical comorbidities. We recommend the use of age- and sex- specific BMI cutoffs or BMI percentile charts to identify children who are severely obese to anticipate and prevent major respiratory adverse events.

Abstract
Ambulatory surgery in the pediatric population can be similar to adult ambulatory with a few different challenges. Success is best determined by appropriate preoperative screening. Issues common in pediatrics are the respiratory infection, asthma, congenital heart disease and syndromes, as well as sleep apnea. Risk factors for adverse respiratory events and patient transfer differ from adults as do data for rapid discharge.

Paediatr Anaesth 2019; 29:200-210. [PMID: 30365205 DOI: 10.1111/pan.13534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2018] [Revised: 10/08/2018] [Accepted: 10/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality improvement methods can identify solutions and make dramatic improvements in patient safety during daily clinical care. The science of quality improvement in healthcare is still a very new concept in developing countries like China. AIMS We initiated a quality improvement project to minimize adverse respiratory events in our postanesthesia care unit with the guidance of an experienced quality improvement expert from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. METHODS We set up a quality improvement team that included anesthesia safety team members at Shanghai Children's Medical Center, and a quality improvement expert in pediatric anesthesia from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Data from the previous year were reviewed. After using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis to access risks associated with the current process, a Key Driver Diagram and a Smart Aim were developed. Key drivers included establishing a safety culture, resource allocation to meet needs, education and training, standardization of care, improved communication and handoff, and enhanced detection, recognition, and response to adverse events. Using Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles of the improvement model, interventions were conducted to improve the process. The primary outcome was the percentage of postoperative respiratory adverse events in the postanesthesia care unit, and we calculated the average recovery time as a balancing measure. Data were collected and analyzed using a run chart and control chart. RESULTS The median percentage of respiratory adverse events in postanesthesia care unit decreased from 2.8% to 1.4%. Respiratory adverse events were reduced by over 30% compared to the previous period with no significant change in mean recovery time. CONCLUSION Using quality improvement methods, we successfully reduced the percentage of respiratory adverse events in the postanesthesia care unit. This helped to establish a safety culture among the anesthesia staff. Quality and safety improvement can be successfully implemented in developing countries like China with collaboration with quality improvement experts from more experienced institutions.

Abstract
Pulmonary complications are a major cause of perioperative morbidity in the pediatric population. Although preexisting pulmonary pathologic processes in children can present significant challenges to anesthetic delivery, a thorough assessment of the problem combined with meticulous anesthetic management allows most children to undergo surgical interventions without long-term adverse sequelae. Asthma, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease continue to pose challenges during anesthesiology. Consultation with a pediatric pulmonologist is indicated when appropriate for specific problems as outlined in this chapter; a team approach may markedly improve operative and postoperative outcomes.

BMC Anesthesiol 2018; 18:137. [PMID: 30384855 PMCID: PMC6214164 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-018-0595-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2017] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to construct a prediction tool for postoperative oxygen therapy and determine predictors of duration of use among children undergoing non-cardiac surgery. METHODS Data from this case-control study was obtained from a database of 9820 children aged < 15 years who underwent general anesthesia between January 2010 and December 2013 at a tertiary care hospital in southern Thailand. The primary outcomes were the use and duration (hours) of postoperative oxygen therapy (cases). Cases were matched with controls on age group and year of surgery in a ratio of 1:4. A negative binomial hurdle model was used to obtain significant predictors of any use and number of hours of oxygen therapy. A risk score was derived from the coefficients of the significant predictors. The risk score, adjusted odds ratio (OR) for any use and count ratio (CR) for duration of postoperative oxygen therapy and 95% confidence interval (CI) were determined. RESULTS A total of 288 cases and 1152 controls were included. The median (inter-quartile range) duration of oxygen therapy delivered was 17 (9-22) hours. An optimal risk score for predictors of oxygen use was 12 (0-32) giving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.93. Predictors of high risk need for oxygen therapy (score ≥ 12) were thoracic surgery (OR = 278, 95% CI = 44.6-1733) and having desaturation perioperatively (OR = 459.8, 95% CI = 169.7-1246). Intermediate risk factors (score 8-11) were having bronchospasm (OR = 92.4, 95% CI = 29.7-287.5) and upper airway obstruction/laryngospasm (OR = 61.5, 95% CI = 14.4-262.4) perioperatively. Significant predictors of duration of oxygen therapy were probably difficult airway (CR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.4-3.5), history of delayed development (CR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.5-3.6), airway (CR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.6-5.8), orthopedic (CR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.1-4.3), thoracic (CR = 4.9, 95% CI = 2.3-10.1) and abdominal surgery (CR = 4.2, 95% CI = 2.1-8.1), compared to eye surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our risk prediction tool for the use of postoperative oxygen therapy provided a high predictive ability. Children who have thoracic surgery, desaturation, bronchospasm, upper airway obstruction or laryngospasm will most likely need postoperative oxygen therapy, regardless of other factors, while those with a probably difficult airway, history of delayed development, or thoracic/abdominal surgery will most likely need longer duration of oxygen therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision to proceed with anesthesia and surgery has been controversial in pediatric patients with an upper respiratory tract infection. The COLDS score was proposed by Lee and August as a potential risk stratification scheme, but no validation has been performed on this scale. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of the COLDS score in predicting perioperative respiratory adverse events and optimize its predictive ability. METHODS COLDS scores, incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events, surgical procedure type, and age were prospectively collected for 536 patients who met inclusion criteria. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves was computed for total COLDS score and individual COLDS score categories. Multivariable regression was used create an optimized score. To quantify the decrease in risk associated with case cancelation due to illness, the other risk factors in COLDS were assessed separately from upper respiratory infection status and a risk model was created. RESULTS The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the total COLDS score was 0.69, suggesting that the COLDS score has a moderate predictive ability for perioperative respiratory adverse events. When split into individual component scores, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 0.55 to 0.63. We also found that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the scoring system was higher in younger children than for children aged 4-6 (area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.70-0.71 vs 0.66). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the optimized scoring system was 0.71. CONCLUSION The COLDS score has the potential to be a valuable risk assessment tool for prediction of perioperative respiratory adverse events and appears to have a better predictive value in certain subpopulations.

Abstract
Obesity has become endemic, even in children. Systemic complications associated with obesity include metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory compromise. These comorbidities require adequate investigation, targeted optimisation, and, if surgery is required, specific management during the peri-operative period. Specific peri-operative strategies should be used for paediatric patients who are overweight or obese to prevent postoperative complications, and optimising the respiratory function during surgery is particularly crucial. This Review aims to provide up-to-date information on peri-operative management for physicians who are caring for children and adolescents (usually younger than 18 years) who are overweight or obese undergoing surgery, including bariatric surgery. We have particularly focussed on the physiological consequences of obesity-namely, obstructive sleep apnoea, respiratory compromise, and pharmacological considerations.

Abstract
Objective Paediatric ambulatory surgeries warrant a speedy recovery of patients without compromising their safety. Short-acting agents such as propofol and desflurane help facilitate these objectives. In this prospective, randomised study we compared the recovery profile in paediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgeries who received entropy guided general anaesthesia (GA) using desflurane and propofol as maintenance anaesthetics. Methods We enrolled 80 children (3-10 years of age), ASA I and II, scheduled for elective surgeries of <60 minutes duration requiring GA between March 2015 and June 2016. We used entropy to monitor adequate depth of anaesthesia and to ensure equipotency of anaesthetic administration in both groups. The state and response entropy was maintained between 40 and 60 by titrating the anaesthetic agents and opioid analgesics. The time of awakening, perioperative haemodynamics, postoperative recovery profile, adverse events and comparative cost of anaesthetic agents were analysed. Results The mean heart rate in the desflurane group was significantly higher. There was no difference between the blood pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide, or oxygen saturation in the two groups. There was a trend towards faster awakening, spontaneous respiration and extubation, quicker time to achieve a fast track score >12 and shift out of the post-anaesthesia care unit in the desflurane group, but the difference was not statistically significant. There were no serious adverse events. The mean cost of desflurane was significantly higher than propofol. Conclusion Desflurane and propofol provided similar recovery profiles in children receiving GA for ambulatory surgeries. However, propofol was more cost effective compared to desflurane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desflurane with a laryngeal mask airway may have advantages during ambulatory anesthesia. However, desflurane-induced airway irritability makes the use of desflurane challenging, especially in children. This study compared desflurane with sevoflurane maintenance anesthesia in terms of respiratory events and the emergence characteristics in children with a laryngeal mask airway. METHODS This randomized controlled trial evaluated 200 children undergoing strabismus surgery allocated to desflurane or sevoflurane groups. After inducing anesthesia with sevoflurane and thiopental sodium 5 mg kg, the anesthetic agent was changed to desflurane in the desflurane group, whereas sevoflurane was continued in the sevoflurane group. Respiratory events, emergence time, recovery time, and emergence agitation were compared between the groups. RESULTS The overall respiratory events did not differ between the groups. However, the incidence of mild desaturation (90% ≤ SpO2 < 97%) was significantly higher in the desflurane group (7%) than in the sevoflurane group (0%) (P = .007). Emergence was significantly faster in the desflurane group (6.6 ± 3.9 vs 8.0 ± 2.2 min, P = .003). The recovery time and emergence agitation in the postanesthesia care unit were comparable between groups. Laryngospasm developed in 5 children (1 in the sevoflurane group and 4 in the desflurane group, P = .365); of these, 4 patients were younger than 3 years. CONCLUSION Desflurane maintenance anesthesia in children with a laryngeal mask airway shows a similar rate of overall respiratory events compared with sevoflurane anesthesia. However, anesthesiologists should be cautious of using desflurane in younger children concerning desaturation events during emergence.

Abstract
Background Sugammadex has been reported to cause upper-airway obstruction, such as laryngospasm or bronchospasm. These two conditions are treated using different approaches, but the differential diagnosis is difficult. Case presentation We describe a case in which general anesthesia was administered via endotracheal intubation, in combination with brachial-plexus block, for arthroscopic surgical treatment of a rotator-cuff tear caused by recurrent shoulder dislocation. The total dose of rocuronium administered was 90 mg, and the last dose of 10 mg was given 15 min before the end of the surgery. Sugammadex was intravenously administered at 100 mg to reverse the effect of rocuronium after the operation ended. After extubation in this case, we placed a mask firmly around the patient's mouth, and thus, there was no air leakage around the mask. We detected upper-airway obstruction that was presumably attributable to administration of sugammadex. The end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) concentration was undetectable on a capnometer. Although 100% oxygen was administered at 10 L/min via a facemask, oxygen saturation (SpO2) decreased to approximately 70%. With suspected onset of laryngospasm, continuous positive airway pressure with 100% oxygen at 10 L/min was started at 30 cm H2O. The patient's airway obstruction resolved after a short time. Conclusion The use of a capnometer facilitated the diagnosis of laryngospasm and allowed us to administer appropriate treatment after administration of sugammadex.
