Effect of positive end expiratory pressure on non-hypoxic apnea time and atelectasis during induction of anesthesia in infant: A randomized controlled trial. Paediatr Anaesth 2024. [PMID: 38980197 DOI: 10.1111/pan.14965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the impact of positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the non-hypoxic apnea time in infants during anesthesia induction with an inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8. METHODS This age stratified randomized controlled trial included patients under 1 year of age. Preoxygenation was performed using an inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8 for 2 min. Inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8 was administered via a face mask with volume-controlled ventilation at a tidal volume of 6 mL.kg-1, with or without 7 cmH2O of PEEP. Tracheal intubation was performed after 3 min of ventilation; however, it was disconnected from the breathing circuit. Ventilation was resumed once the pulse oximetry readings reached 95%. The primary outcome was the non-hypoxic apnea time, defined as the time from the cessation of ventilation to achieving a pulse oximeter reading of 95%. The secondary outcome measures included the degree of atelectasis assessed by ultrasonography and the presence of gastric air insufflation. RESULTS Eighty-four patients were included in the final analysis. In the positive end-expiratory pressure group, the atelectasis score decreased (17.0 vs. 31.5, p < .001; mean difference and 95% CI of 11.6, 7.5-15.6), while the non-hypoxic apnea time increased (80.1 s vs. 70.6 s, p = .005; mean difference and 95% CI of -9.4, -16.0 to -2.9), compared to the zero end-expiratory pressure group, among infants who are 6 months old or younger, not in those aged older than 6 months. DISCUSSION The application of positive end-expiratory pressure reduced the incidence of atelectasis and extended the non-hypoxic apnea time in infants who are 6 months old or younger. However, it did not affect the incidence of atelectasis nor the non-hypoxic apnea time in patients aged older than 6 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoxygenation is universally recommended before induction of general anaesthesia to prolong safe apnoea time. The optimal technique for preoxygenation is unclear. We conducted a systematic review to determine the preoxygenation technique associated with the greatest effectiveness in adult patients having general anaesthesia. METHODS We searched six databases for randomised controlled trials of patients aged ≥16 yr, receiving general anaesthesia in any setting and comparing different preoxygenation techniques and methods. Our primary effectiveness outcome was safe apnoea time, and secondary outcomes included incidence of arterial oxygen desaturation; lowest SpO2 during airway management; time to end-tidal oxygen concentration of 90%; and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at the end of preoxygenation. We assessed the quality of evidence according to Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) recommendations. RESULTS We included 52 studies of 3914 patients. High-flow nasal oxygen with patients in a head-up position was most likely to be associated with a prolonged safe apnoea time when compared with other strategies, with a mean difference (95% credible interval) of 291 (138-456) s and 203 (79-343) s compared with preoxygenation with a facemask in the supine and head-up positions, respectively. Subgroup analysis of studies without apnoeic oxygenation also showed high-flow nasal oxygen in the head-up position as the highest ranked technique, with a statistically significantly delayed mean difference (95% credible interval) safe apnoea time compared with facemask in supine and head-up positions of 222 (63-378) s and 139 (15-262) s, respectively. High-flow nasal oxygen was also the highest ranked technique for increased [Formula: see text] at the end of preoxygenation. However, the incidence of arterial desaturation was less likely to occur when a facemask with pressure support was used compared with other techniques, and [Formula: see text] was most likely to be lowest when preoxygenation took place with patients deep breathing in a supine position. CONCLUSIONS Preoxygenation of adults before induction of general anaesthesia was most effective in terms of safe apnoea time when performed with high-flow nasal oxygen with patients in the head-up position in comparison with facemask alone. Also, high-flow nasal oxygen in the head-up position is likely to be the most effective technique to prolong safe apnoea time among those evaluated. Clinicians should consider this technique and patient position in routine practice. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL PROSPERO CRD42022326046.

[PMID: 38994339 PMCID: PMC11238705 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1419635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to systematically evaluate the clinical effects of using transnasal high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted from 2004 to April 2024 to collect relevant studies on the application of HFNC in patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. Multiple Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, were searched systematically for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. RevMan 5.4 software was utilized for conducting the network meta-analysis. Results A total of 12 RCTs involving 3,726 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that HFNC reduced the incidence of hypoxemia and improved the minimum oxygen saturation (SpO2) compared with COT [odds ratio (OR) = 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.29-0.53], [mean difference (MD) = 4.07, 95% CI: 3.14-5.01], and the difference was statistically significant. However, the baseline SpO2 levels and incidence of hypercapnia were not statistically significantly different between the HFNC and COT groups [MD = -0.21, 95% CI: -0.49-0.07]; [OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.95-2.15]. In terms of procedure time, the difference between HFNC and COT was not statistically significant, and subgroup analyses were performed for the different types of studies, with standard deviation in the gastroscopy group (MD = 0.09, 95% CI: -0.07-0.24) and the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography group (MD = 0.36, 95% CI: -0.50-1.23). The results demonstrated a significant reduction in the adoption of airway interventions in the HFNC group compared to the COT group (OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.05-0.53), with a statistically significant difference; this result was consistent with those of the included studies. Conclusion The application of HFNC improves the incidence of hypoxemia, enhances oxygenation, and reduces airway interventions during gastrointestinal endoscopy. However, HFNC does not significantly affect baseline SpO2, hypercapnia, or procedure time. The limitations of this study must be acknowledged, and further high-quality studies should be conducted to validate these findings.

[PMID: 38864784 DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2024.04.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Preprocedural oxygenation (pre-emptive oxygenation started during presedation and/or induction) and procedural oxygenation (pre-emptive oxygenation started during any phase of sedation) are easy-to-use strategies with potential to decrease adverse events. Here, we describe practice patterns of preprocedural oxygenation and procedural oxygenation. We hypothesized that patients who received preprocedural oxygenation or procedural oxygenation would have a lower risk of airway/breathing/circulation interventions during sedation compared with patients without procedural oxygenation. METHODS We performed a retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study of pediatric sedations from April 2020 to July 2023 using the Pediatric Sedation Research Consortium multicenter database. The patient-level and sedation-level characteristics were described using frequencies and proportions, stratified by preprocedural oxygenation and procedural oxygenation status. We determined the site-level frequency of preprocedural oxygenation and procedural oxygenation use. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to calculate the risk difference for interventions associated with preprocedural oxygenation and procedural oxygenation. RESULTS This study included a total of 85,599 pediatric sedations; 43,242 (50.5%) patients received preprocedural oxygenation (used oxygen before sedation and/or at induction) and a total of 52,219 (61.0%) received procedural oxygenation pre-emptively at any time during the sedation. There was no statistical difference in overall interventions with either preprocedural oxygenation (risk difference -0.06%; 95% confidence interval -4.26% to 4.14%) or procedural oxygenation (risk difference -1.07%; 95% confidence interval -6.44% to 4.30%). CONCLUSION Pre-emptive preprocedural oxygenation and procedural oxygenation were not associated with a difference in the use of airway/breathing/circulation interventions in pediatric sedations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoxygenation before anaesthesia induction is routinely performed via a tight-fitting facemask or humidified high-flow nasal oxygen. We hypothesised that effective preoxygenation, assessed by end-tidal oxygen (EtO 2 ) levels, can also be performed via a standard nasal cannula. OBJECTIVE This study compared the efficacy of preoxygenation between a traditional facemask, humidified high-flow nasal oxygen and a standard nasal cannula. DESIGN A volunteer, randomised, crossover study. SETTING Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. The study was conducted between 2 May and 31 May 2023. PARTICIPANTS Twenty cardiopulmonary healthy volunteers aged 25-65 years with a BMI <30. INTERVENTIONS Preoxygenation using a traditional facemask, humidified high-flow nasal oxygen and standard nasal cannula. Volunteers were preoxygenated with all three methods, at various flow rates (10-50 l min -1 ), with open and closed mouths and during vital capacity manoeuvres. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The study's primary outcome compared the efficacy after 3 min of preoxygenation, assessed by EtO 2 levels, between the three methods and various flow rates of preoxygenation. RESULTS Three methods generated higher EtO 2 levels than others: (i) facemask preoxygenation using normal breathing, (ii) humidified high-flow nasal oxygen, closed-mouth breathing, at 50 l min -1 and (iii) standard nasal cannula, closed-mouth breathing, at 50 l min -1 , and expressed as means (SD): 90% (3), 90% (6) and 88% (5), respectively. Preoxygenation efficacy was greater via the bi-nasal cannulae using closed vs. open mouth breathing as well as with 3 min of normal breathing vs. eight vital capacity breaths. Preoxygenation with a facemask and humidified high-flow nasal oxygen was more comfortable than a standard nasal cannula. CONCLUSION The efficacy of preoxygenation using a standard nasal cannula at high flow rates is no different to clinically used methods today. The standard nasal cannula provides less comfort but is highly effective and could be an option when alternative methods are unavailable. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05839665.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Protocols are used in intensive care and emergency settings to limit the use of oxygen. However, in pediatric anesthesiology, such protocols do not exist. This study aimed to investigate the administration of oxygen during pediatric general anesthesia and related these values to PaO2, SpO2 and SaO2. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary pediatric academic hospital, from June 2017 to August 2020. PATIENTS Patients aged 0-18 years who underwent general anesthesia for a diagnostic or surgical procedure with tracheal intubation and an arterial catheter for regular blood withdrawal were included. Patients on cardiopulmonary bypass or those with missing data were excluded. Electronic charts were reviewed for patient characteristics, type of surgery, arterial blood gas analyses, and oxygenation management. INTERVENTIONS No interventions were done. MEASUREMENTS Primary outcome defined as FiO2, PaO2 and SpO2 values were interpreted using descriptive analyses, and the correlation between PaO2 and FiO2 was determined using the weighted Spearman correlation coefficient. MAIN RESULTS Data of 493 cases were obtained. Of these, 267 were excluded for various reasons. Finally, 226 cases with a total of 645 samples were analyzed. The median FiO2 was 36% (IQR 31 to 43), with a range from 20% to 97%, and the median PaO2 was 23.6 kPa (IQR 18.6 to 28.1); 177 mmHg (IQR 140 to 211). The median SpO2 level was 99% (IQR 98 to 100%). The study showed a moderately positive association between PaO2 and FiO2 (r = 0.52, p < 0.001). 574 of 645 samples (89%) contained a PaO2 higher than 13.3 kPa; 100 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS Oxygen administration during general pediatric anesthesia is barely regulated. Hyperoxemia is observed intraoperatively in approximately 90% of cases. Future research should focus on outcomes related to hyperoxemia.

Abstract
Tracheal intubation in pediatric patients is a clinical scenario that can quickly become an emergency. Complication rates can potentially reach up to 60% in rapid sequence intubation. An alternate to this is delayed sequence intubation, which may reduce potential complications-mostly hypoxemia-and can be especially useful in non-cooperative children. This technique consists of the prior airway and oxygenation optimization. This is done through sedation using agents that preserve ventilatory function and protective reflexes and continuous oxygen therapy-prior and after the anesthetic induction-using nasal prongs. The objective of this narrative review is to provide a broader perspective on delayed sequence intubation by defining the concept and indications; reviewing its safety, effectiveness, and complications; and describing the anesthetic agents and oxygen therapy techniques used in this procedure.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) has played a crucial role in the medical field, particularly in anesthesia and in critical care medicine (CCM) settings. MV has evolved significantly since its inception over 70 years ago and the future promises even more advanced technology. In the past, ventilation was provided manually, intermittently, and it was primarily used for resuscitation or as a last resort for patients with severe respiratory or cardiovascular failure. The earliest MV machines for prolonged ventilatory support and oxygenation were large and cumbersome. They required a significant amount of skills and expertise to operate. These early devices had limited capabilities, battery, power, safety features, alarms, and therefore these often caused harm to patients. Moreover, the physiology of MV was modified when mechanical ventilators moved from negative pressure to positive pressure mechanisms. Monitoring systems were also very limited and therefore the risks related to MV support were difficult to quantify, predict and timely detect for individual patients who were necessarily young with few comorbidities. Technology and devices designed to use tracheostomies versus endotracheal intubation evolved in the last century too and these are currently much more reliable. In the present, positive pressure MV is more sophisticated and widely used for extensive period of time. Modern ventilators use mostly positive pressure systems and are much smaller, more portable than their predecessors, and they are much easier to operate. They can also be programmed to provide different levels of support based on evolving physiological concepts allowing lung-protective ventilation. Monitoring systems are more sophisticated and knowledge related to the physiology of MV is improved. Patients are also more complex and elderly compared to the past. MV experts are informed about risks related to prolonged or aggressive ventilation modalities and settings. One of the most significant advances in MV has been protective lung ventilation, diaphragm protective ventilation including noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Health care professionals are familiar with the use of MV and in many countries, respiratory therapists have been trained for the exclusive purpose of providing safe and professional respiratory support to critically ill patients. Analgo-sedation drugs and techniques are improved, and more sedative drugs are available and this has an impact on recovery, weaning, and overall patients' outcome. Looking toward the future, MV is likely to continue to evolve and improve alongside monitoring techniques and sedatives. There is increasing precision in monitoring global "patient-ventilator" interactions: structure and analysis (asynchrony, desynchrony, etc). One area of development is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in ventilator technology. AI can be used to monitor patients in real-time, and it can predict when a patient is likely to experience respiratory distress. This allows medical professionals to intervene before a crisis occurs, improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for emergency intervention. This specific area of development is intended as "personalized ventilation." It involves tailoring the ventilator settings to the individual patient, based on their physiology and the specific condition they are being treated for. This approach has the potential to improve patient outcomes by optimizing ventilation and reducing the risk of harm. In conclusion, MV has come a long way since its inception, and it continues to play a critical role in anesthesia and in CCM settings. Advances in technology have made MV safer, more effective, affordable, and more widely available. As technology continues to improve, more advanced and personalized MV will become available, leading to better patients' outcomes and quality of life for those in need.

Acute Crit Care 2024; 39:61-69. [PMID: 38303582 PMCID: PMC11002622 DOI: 10.4266/acc.2022.01543] [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: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although preoxygenation is an essential procedure for safe endotracheal intubation, in some cases securing sufficient time for tracheal intubation may not be possible. Patients with head and neck cancer might have a difficult airway and need a longer time for endotracheal intubation. We hypothesized that the extended apneic period with preoxygenation via a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is beneficial to patients who undergo head and neck surgery compared with preoxygenation with a simple mask. METHODS The study was conducted as a single-center, single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients were divided into groups based on one of the two preoxygenation. METHODS HFNC group or simple facemask (mask group). Preoxygenation was performed for 5 minutes with each method, and endotracheal intubation for all patients was performed using a video laryngoscope. Oxygen partial pressures of the arterial blood were compared at the predefined time points. RESULTS For the primary outcome, the mean arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 ) immediately after intubation was 454.2 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI], 416.9-491.5 mm Hg) in the HFNC group and 370.7 mm Hg (95% CI, 333.7-407.4 mm Hg) in the mask group (P=0.002). The peak PaO2 at 5 minutes after preoxygenation was not statistically different between the groups (P=0.355). CONCLUSIONS Preoxygenation with a HFNC extending to the apneic period before endotracheal intubation may be beneficial in patients with head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Background Utilizing high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy may prevent the collapse of alveoli and improve overall alveolar ventilation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of HFNC on postoperative atelectasis in individuals undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Methods Patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer were randomly assigned to the control or HFNC groups. After the surgical procedure was complete and the trachea was extubated, both groups underwent an initial lung ultrasound (LUS) scan. In the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the control group received conventional nasal cannula oxygen therapy, while the HFNC group received high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy. A second LUS scan was conducted before the patient was transferred to the ward. The primary outcome measured was the total LUS score at the time of PACU discharge. Results In the HFNC group (n = 39), the LUS score and the incidence of atelectasis at PACU discharge were significantly lower compared to the control group (n = 39) [(5 vs 10, P < 0.001), (48.72% vs 82.05%, P = 0.002)]. None of the patients in the HFNC group experienced hypoxemia in the PACU, whereas six patients in the control group did (P = 0.03). Additionally, the minimum SpO2 value in the PACU was notably higher in the HFNC group compared to the control group [99 vs 97, P < 0.001]. Conclusion Based on the results, HFNC improves the extent of postoperative atelectasis and decreases the occurrence of atelectasis in individuals undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.

Abstract
Purpose We investigate the efficacy and safety of butorphanol in multimodal analgesia combined with dexmedetomidine and ketorolac via patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after hepatobiliary surgery, as compared with sufentanil. Patients and Methods Postoperative follow-up data of hepatobiliary surgery patients in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2018 to June 2021 were collected retrospectively and divided into butorphanol group (group B) or sufentanil group (group S) according to the postoperative intravenous controlled analgesia scheme. The baseline characteristics and surgical information of the two groups were matched through propensity score matching (PSM). Results A total of 3437 patients were screened, and PSM yielded 1816 patients after matching, including 908 in the butorphanol group and 908 in the sufentanil group. Compared with group S, the incidence of moderate-to-severe pain on the first postoperative day and the second postoperative day was lower in group B during rest (3.2% vs 10.9%, P<0.001; 1.2% vs 4.6%, P<0.001), and during movement (7.0% vs 18.9%, P<0.001; 2.6% vs 8.7%, P<0.001). Patients receiving butorphanol had a lower morphine consumption (50mg vs 120mg, P<0.001). The bolus attempts of an analgesic pump in group B were significantly lower than in group S (1 vs 2, P<0.001). Postoperative hospital length of stay was shortened in group B (11d vs 12d, P=0.017). The occurrence of postoperative vomiting was lower in group B (1.4% vs 3.0%, P=0.025) than in group S. However, more patients in group B experienced dizziness (0.9% vs 0.1%, P=0.019). Conclusion Compared with sufentanil, the application of butorphanol in multimodal analgesia combined with dexmedetomidine and ketorolac via PCIA ameliorated postoperative pain after hepatobiliary surgery, with reduced opioid consumption and shorter postoperative hospital length of stay.

Abstract
Purpose Hypoxemia during a failed airway scenario is life threatening. A dual-lumen pharyngeal oxygen delivery device (PODD) was developed to fit inside a traditional oropharyngeal airway for undisrupted supraglottic oxygenation and gas analysis during laryngoscopy and intubation. We hypothesized that the PODD would provide oxygen as effectively as high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) while using lower oxygen flow rates. Methods We compared oxygen delivery of the PODD to HFNC in a preoxygenated, apneic manikin lung that approximated an adult functional residual capacity. Four arms were studied: HFNC at 20 and 60 liters per minute (LPM) oxygen, PODD at 10 LPM oxygen, and a control arm with no oxygen flow after initial preoxygenation. Five randomized 20-minute trials were performed for each arm (20 trials total). Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were used with statistical significance of P < 0.05. Results Mean oxygen concentrations were statistically different and decreased from 97% as follows: 41 ± 0% for the control, 90 ± 1% for HFNC at 20 LPM, 88 ± 2% for HFNC at 60 LPM, and 97 ± 1% (no change) for the PODD at 10 LPM. Conclusion Oxygen delivery with the PODD maintained oxygen concentration longer than HFNC in this manikin model at lower flow rates than HFNC.

Abstract
Some controversial reports have observed oxygen desaturation (defined as percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) < 90%) during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The purpose of this pilot study was to examine oxygenation states in eight patients during ECT. In addition to the usual hemodynamic monitors and pulse oximeter, the oxygen reserve index (ORi) was monitored using a pulse oximeter. Patients received either no preoxygenation or preoxygenation with 100% oxygen via a tight-fitting mask for 1 or 3 min before induction of anesthesia. ORi increased after preoxygenation. ORi differed significantly between 3 min of preoxygenation and the other two methods before restarting mask ventilation. SpO2 was significantly increased with all methods before stopping manual mask ventilation or before restarting manual mask ventilation compared with that before preoxygenation. No oxygen desaturation was observed at any time with any treatment methods. In nonobese patients, the adequate oxygenation state as shown by SpO2 and ORi was maintained during ECT even without preoxygenation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure-controlled face mask ventilation (PC-FMV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after apnoea following induction of general anaesthesia prolongs safe apnoea time and reduces atelectasis formation. However, depending on the set inspiratory pressure, a delayed confirmation of a patent airway might occur. We hypothesised that by lowering the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) when using PC-FMV with PEEP, confirmation of a patent airway would not be delayed as studied by the first return of CO2 , compared with manual face mask ventilation (Manual FMV). METHODS This was a single-centre, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial. Seventy adult patients scheduled for elective day-case surgery under general anaesthesia with body mass index between 18.5 and 29.9 kg m-2 , American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classes I-III, and without anticipated difficult FMV, were included. Before the start of pre-oxygenation and induction of general anaesthesia, participants were randomly allocated to receive ventilation with either PC-FMV with PEEP, at a PIP of 11 and a PEEP of 6 cmH2 O or Manual FMV, with the adjustable pressure-limiting valve set at 11 cmH2 O. The primary outcome variable was the number of ventilatory attempts needed until confirmation of a patent airway, defined as the return of at least 1.3 kPa CO2 . RESULTS The return of ≥1.3 kPa CO2 on the capnography curve was observed after mean ± SD, 3.6 ± 4.2 and 2.5 ± 1.9 ventilatory attempts/breaths with PC-FMV with PEEP and Manual FMV, respectively. The difference in means (1.1 ventilatory attempts/breaths) had a 99% CI of -1.0 to 3.1, within the accepted upper margin of four breaths for non-inferiority. CONCLUSION Following induction of general anaesthesia, PC-FMV with PEEP was used without delaying a patent airway as confirmed with capnography, if moderate pressures were used.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine whether changes in the pleth variability index (PVi) during preoxygenation with forced ventilation for 1 min could predict anesthesia-induced hypotension. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING A tertiary teaching hospital. PATIENTS Ninety-six patients who underwent general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia were enrolled. INTERVENTIONS Upon the patient's arrival at the preoperative waiting area, a PVi sensor was affixed to their fourth fingertip. For preoxygenation, forced ventilation of 8 breaths/min in a 1:2 inspiratory-expiratory ratio was conducted using the guidance of an audio file. One minute after preoxygenation, anesthetic administration was initiated. Blood pressure was measured for the next 15 min. MEASUREMENTS We calculated the difference (dPVi) and percentage of change (%PVi) between the PVi values immediately before and after forced ventilation. Anesthesia-induced hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure of <60 mmHg within 15 min after the infusion of anesthetics. MAIN RESULTS Overall, 87 patients were included in the final analysis. Anesthesia-induced hypotension occurred in 31 (35.6%) of the 87 patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses identified a cut-off value of -2 for dPVi, with an area under the curve of 0.691 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.564-0.818; P < 0.001) and a cut-off value of -7.6% for %PVi, with an area under the curve of 0.711 (95% CI, 0.589-0.832; P < 0.001). Further, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a low %PVi with an odds ratio of 9.856 (95% CI, 3.131-31.032; P < 0.001) was a significant determinant of anesthesia-induced hypotension. CONCLUSIONS Hypotension frequently occurs during general anesthesia induction and can impact outcomes. Additionally, the percentage change in the PVi before and after preoxygenation using deep breathing can be used to predict anesthesia-induced hypotension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic hygroma is a congenital lymphatic malformation. It may present as a huge mass in the neck, jeopardizing airway patency and prolonging intubation time, resulting in hypoventilation and hypoxemia. We used a high-flow nasal cannula to decrease the risk of hypoxemia and provide anesthesiologists sufficient time to perform tracheal intubation in young infants. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-day-old infant (height, 55 cm; weight, 5.05 kg) was diagnosed with macro-cystic hygroma of the right neck. Considering the progressive enlargement of the macrocystic hygroma and its impact on the airway, urgent intervention becomes imperative. Among the available treatment modalities, percutaneous cyst aspiration and sclerotherapy performed under ultrasound guidance represent the most commonly chosen approach. During the induction of general anesthesia, the otolaryngologists were on standby and prepared for emergency tracheotomy. The anesthesiologists chose total intravenous anesthesia induction while maintaining spontaneous breathing. A high-flow nasal cannula was used to keep the infant oxygenated, and endotracheal intubation was successfully performed using a C-MAC video laryngoscope and fiber-optic bronchoscope. CONCLUSIONS Airway management is the biggest challenge for anesthesiologists when delivering general anesthesia to infants with neck macro-cystic hygroma. Total intravenous anesthesia could be a choice for induction without considering compromised respiration and the side effects of inhalational anesthetics. A high-flow nasal cannula can be used in young infants to maintain oxygenation and allow anesthesiologists a longer time to perform intubation.

Shi Y, Jin Y, Song J, Shi J, Liu X, Zhao G, Su Z. A quasi-experimental study of fresh oxygen flow on patients' oxygen reserve during mask-assisted ventilation under general anesthesia induction. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1261177. [PMID: 37780572 PMCID: PMC10534030 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1261177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background To compare the effect of different amounts of fresh oxygen flow on oxygen reserve in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Methods Seventy-two patients were enrolled in this quasi-experimental study. Patients were randomly divided into experimental groups with a fresh oxygen flow of 1 L/min, 2 L/min, 4 L/min, and 8 L/min (denoted as G1, G2, G3, and G4, respectively) for 2 min of mask-assisted ventilation. Safe apnea time (SAT) was the primary endpoint; SAT was defined as the time from the cessation of ventilation to the time the patient's pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) decreased to 90%. Ventilation indicators such as end-tidal oxygen concentration (EtO2), end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (EtCO2), SpO2, and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination amount, during mask-assisted ventilation, were the secondary endpoints. Results The SAT of G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 305.1 ± 97.0 s, 315 ± 112.5 s, 381.3 ± 118.6 s, and 359 ± 104.4 s, respectively (p > 0.05). The EtO2 after 2 min of mask-assisted ventilation in groups G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 69.7 ± 8.8%, 75.2 ± 5.0%, 82.5 ± 3.3%, and 86.8 ± 1.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). Also, there was a moderate positive correlation between the fresh oxygen flow and EtO2 (correlation coefficient r = 0.52, 95% CI 0.31-0.67, p < 0.0001). The CO2 elimination in the G1 and G2 groups was greater than that in the G4 group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in other indicators among the groups (all p > 0.05). Conclusion The amount of fresh oxygen flow during mask-assisted ventilation was positively correlated with EtO2. Also, even though there was no significant difference, the patients' oxygen reserves increased with the increase in fresh oxygen flow.

Abstract
Although baby boomer generation accounts for a little more than 15% of the US population, the cohort represents a disproportionate percentage of patients undergoing surgery. As this group continues to age, a multitude of challenges have arisen in health care regarding the safest and most effective means of providing anesthesia services to these patients. Many elderly patients may be exquisitely sensitive to the effects of anesthesia and surgery and may experience cognitive and physical decline before, during, or after hospital admission. In this review article, the authors briefly examine the physiologic processes underlying aging and explore steps necessary to deliver safe, empathetic care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prerequisites for the early formation of anaesthesia-related atelectasis are pre-oxygenation with its resulting high alveolar oxygen content, and airway closure. Airway closure increases with age, so it seems counterintuitive that atelectasis formation during anaesthesia does not. One proposed explanation is that pre-oxygenation is impaired in the elderly by airway closure present in the waking state. The extent of airway closure cannot be assessed at the bedside, but arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( Pa O 2 ) as a surrogate variable of the resulting ventilation to perfusion mismatch can. OBJECTIVE The primary aim was to test the hypothesis that a decreased efficacy of pre-oxygenation, measured as the fraction of end-tidal oxygen (F E' O 2 ) after 3 min of pre-oxygenation, correlates with decreased Pa O 2 on room air. We also re-investigated the influence on F E' O 2 by age. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Two regional hospitals, Västerås and Köping County Hospitals, Västmanland, Sweden, between 30 October 2018 and 17 September 2021. PARTICIPANTS We included 120 adults aged 40 to 79 years presenting for elective noncardiac surgery. INTERVENTION An arterial blood gas was sampled before commencing pre-oxygenation. RESULTS No linear correlation was found between F E' O 2 at 3 min and Pa O 2 or age (Pearson's r = -0.038, P = 0.684; and Pearson's r = -0.113, P = 0.223, respectively). The mean ± SD F E' O 2 at 3 min for the population studied was 0.87 ± 0.05. CONCLUSION The lack of correlation between F E' O 2 at 3 min and Pa O 2 or age during pre-oxygenation has implications for further studies concerning the interaction between airway closure and atelectasis. After 3 min of pre-oxygenation, F E' O 2 , even in the elderly, indicated a high enough alveolar oxygen concentration to promote atelectasis after induction, therefore, it is still unclear why atelectasis formation diminishes after middle age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) maintains mean airway pressures well, and its usability for preoxygenation is well described. Anesthesia machine-delivered NIPPV-based preoxygenation has recently been evaluated against the traditional manual bag-mask ventilation (BMV). The efficiency of such a technique over the traditional one is yet to be established well. The present study evaluated the feasibility of machine-delivered preoxygenation using pressure support ventilation (PSV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and compared the effectiveness with BMV. METHODS Thirty overweight and obese adults belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologist's physical status I-II were randomized to receive PSV+PEEP or BMV for preintubation preoxygenation targeted to a fraction of expired oxygen (FeO2) of 85% and 90% or for a maximum period of five minutes, whichever came first. Postintubation, the patient was observed for the time taken until 1% desaturation without ventilation. Arterial blood gases, respiratory variables, FeO2 achieved, and different times were collected and compared. RESULTS The baseline characteristics and arterial blood gases were similar between the two groups. The PSV+PEEP group had consistent and favorable tidal volume and airway pressure delivery. The difference in time to reach a FeO2 of 85% between the two groups was not statistically different. Only two patients achieved a FeO2 of 90% in the PSV+PEEP group versus none in the BMV group. However, partial pressure of oxygen at 1% desaturation (217.42±109.47 versus 138.073±71.319 mmHg, p 0.0259) was higher in the PSV+PEEP group. Similarly, the time until 1% desaturation was significantly prolonged in the PSV+PEEP group (206.6±76.952 versus 140.466±54.245 seconds, p 0.0111). CONCLUSION The present pilot study findings indicate that preintubation machine-delivered PSV+PEEP-based preoxygenation is feasible and might be more effective than traditional BMV in overweight and obese patients.

Abstract
Bronchoscopy has garnered increased popularity in the biopsy of peripheral lung lesions. The development of navigational guided bronchoscopy systems along with radial endobronchial ultrasound (REBUS) allows clinicians to access and sample peripheral lesions. The development of robotic bronchoscopy improved localization of targets and diagnostic accuracy. Despite such technological advancements, published diagnostic yield remains lower compared to computer tomography (CT)-guided biopsy. The discordance between the real-time location of peripheral lesions and anticipated location from preplanned navigation software is often cited as the main variable impacting accurate biopsies. The utilization of cone beam CT (CBCT) with navigation-based bronchoscopy has been shown to assist with localizing targets in real-time and improving biopsy success. The resources, costs, and radiation associated with CBCT remains a hindrance in its wider adoption. Recently, digital tomosynthesis (DT) platforms have been developed as an alternative for real-time imaging guidance in peripheral lung lesions. In North America, there are several commercial platforms with distinct features and adaptation of DT. Early studies show the potential improvement in peripheral lesion sampling with DT. Despite the results of early observational studies, the true impact of DT-based imaging devices for peripheral lesion sampling cannot be determined without further prospective randomized trials and meta-analyses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE), if used for pre-oxygenation and apnoeic oxygenation, has the propensity to extend the safe apnoea time and thereby decrease the incidence of desaturation during rapid sequence induction (RSI) for emergency surgeries. Hence, we proposed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of pre-oxygenation with the use of conventional facemask breathing versus THRIVE during RSI in patients undergoing general anaesthesia (GA) for emergency surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty patients undergoing RSI under GA for emergency abdominopelvic surgery were divided randomly into two groups. Patients were preoxygenated for three minutes with 100% oxygen via either a high-flow nasal cannula at a flow of 60 L/minute using THRIVE or a tightly-held, snuggly-fitting facemask at a flow of 12L/minute using a circle system. RSI was administered followed by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) measured immediately after successful endotracheal intubation was our primary outcome. The lowest peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), apnoea time, number of attempts at laryngoscopy, use of any rescue manoeuvres, and any adverse event were also recorded. Data thus collected were statistically analysed. RESULTS No statistically significant difference in PaO2 value was observed after successful intubation, lowest SpO2, apnoea time, number of attempts at laryngoscopy, use of any rescue manoeuvres, and adverse event between both the groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION We conclude that though not superior to conventional facemasks, THRIVE is a safe, practicable, and efficient pre-oxygenation tool during RSI of GA for patients undergoing emergency surgeries.

Abstract
Background and Aims Apnoeic oxygenation, although useful during elective intubations, has not shown consistent beneficial results during emergency intubations in critically ill patients. We aimed to study the effectiveness of adding apnoeic oxygenation to our routine practice of using facemask alone, in emergency laparotomy patients needing rapid sequence induction (RSI), for sustaining partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2). Material and Methods Seventy-two patients undergoing RSI for emergency laparotomy were randomly allocated to either receive pre-oxygenation with 5 L/min of oxygen (O2) with a facemask (Group-FM) or apnoeic oxygenation with 10 L/min of O2 through a nasal catheter in addition to pre-oxygenation (Group-NC). Apnoea (90 s) was allowed from the removal of the facemask before the resumption of ventilation. Arterial blood gas analysis was done at the baseline, following pre-oxygenation and after 90 s of apnoea to study the PaO2 and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The circuit O2 concentrations (fraction of inspired [FiO2] and end-tidal [EtO2]) were also noted to ensure a steady state of O2 uptake was reached. Results The circuit O2 concentrations were 90 ± 4% in group FM and 93 ± 5% in Group-NC. The FiO2-EtO2 difference was 4% in both groups. During the 90 s apnoea following pre-oxygenation, there was a fall in the PaO2 by 38% in Group-FM and 12% in Group-NC (P = 0.000). Increase in PaCO2 was similar in both groups (Group-FM: 44 [range: 32-55] mmHg; Group-NC: 42 [range: 33-54] mmHg, P = 0.809). Conclusion Apnoeic insufflation of O2 using a nasopharyngeal catheter along with facemask oxygenation is more effective in sustaining PaO2 for 90 s during RSI than facemask-only oxygenation in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.

Abstract
The case presented here highlights the utility/feasibility of the SEADUC (EM Innovations, Galloway, OH) manual suction unit in clearing a contaminated airway during rapid sequence intubation. The case also highlights the importance of intubation in a patient with declining mental status in the prehospital environment. A 75-year-old woman suffered a head injury, and a helicopter emergency medical service team staffed with a physician and nurse was tasked with retrieval and transfer back to the tertiary care center. As the flight team rendezvoused with ground emergency medical services and the patient, a decision to intubate was made because of the patient's declining mental status and inability to protect her own airway. While in preparation for intubation, it was noted that the ambulance's electrical suction system was not working, and the flight crew had to resort to a SEADUC manual suction unit to clear the patient's airway of contaminants. The patient's airway was cleared, and she was successfully intubated and transported to a tertiary care center where the patient underwent an emergent neurosurgery procedure/decompression and was discharged home a few weeks later.

Abstract
Tracheal intubation is a commonly performed procedure on critically ill patients in the emergency department. It is associated with many serious complications, one of the most dangerous being unrecognized esophageal intubation, which can result in anoxic brain injury, cardiac arrest, or death. It is the responsibility of the emergency physician to do everything possible to avoid this devastating complication. Preventing unrecognized esophageal intubation requires a two-pronged approach. First, the inadvertent placement of intended tracheal tubes into the esophagus must be reduced as much as is humanly possible. This can be achieved with the routine use of video laryngoscopes for emergency department intubations. Numerous studies have demonstrated that use of video laryngoscopes can significantly reduce the occurrence of esophageal intubation, presumably by providing an improved view of the larynx. Second, if an esophageal intubation inadvertently occurs, it must be rapidly identified and appropriately addressed. The cornerstone of rapid identification is the use of continuous waveform capnography to detect exhaled carbon dioxide. Capnography has been shown to be the most accurate method to determine tube placement after intubation. Standard clinical examinations, for example, auscultation of breath sounds, visualization of chest excursion, and observation of condensation in the tube, have all been demonstrated in studies to be unreliable and thus should not be used to exclude esophageal intubation. Recently, the Project for Universal Management of Airways, an international collaborative of airway experts from anesthesiology, critical care and emergency medicine, published evidence-based guidelines to specifically address the issue of preventing unrecognized esophageal intubation. These guidelines, which have received endorsement from several prominent airway societies, including the Society for Airway Management, the Difficult Airway Society, and the European Airway Management Society, will be briefly discussed in this review.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Investigate a low-cost, nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation technique, establish its efficacy, and compare it to preoxygenation only in an obese population. The study's hypothesis was that nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l.min-1 would significantly prolong safe apnoea time compared to preoxygenation alone. DESIGN Randomised controlled study. SETTING Theatre complex of a resource constrained hospital. PATIENTS 30 adult, obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg.m-2) patients presenting for elective surgery. Patients with limiting cardio-respiratory disease, suspected difficult airway, risk of aspiration, and that were pregnant, were excluded. Patients were allocated by block randomisation in a 1:2 ratio to a preoxygenation-only (No-AO) and an intervention group (NPA-O2). INTERVENTIONS All patients were preoxygenated to an Et-O2 > 80%, followed by a standardised induction. The intervention group received oxygen at 18 l.min-1 via the nasopharyngeal catheter intervention. The desaturation process was documented until an SpO2 of 92% or 600 s was reached. MEASUREMENTS Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. The primary outcome was safe apnoea time, defined as the time taken to desaturate to an SpO2 of 92%. Secondary outcomes were rate of carbon dioxide accumulation and factors affecting the risk of desaturation. MAIN RESULTS The study was conducted in a morbidly obese population (NoAO = 41,1 kg.m-2; NPA-O2 = 42,5 kg.m-2). The risk of desaturation was signifantly lower in the intervention group (Hazzard Ratio = 0,072, 95% CI[0,019-0,283]) (Log-Rank test, p < 0.001). The median safe apnoea time was significantly longer in the intervention group (NoAO = 262 s [IQR 190-316]; NPA-O2 = 600 s [IQR 600-600]) (Mann-Whitney-U test, p < 0.001). The mean rate of CO2 accumalation was significantly slower in the intervention group (NoAO = 0,47 ± 0,14 kPa.min-1; NPA-O2 = 0,3 ± 0,09 kPa.min-1) (t-test, p = 0.003). There were no statistically significant risk factors associated with an increased risk of desaturation found. CONCLUSIONS Nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l/min prolongs safe apnoea time, compared to preoxygenation alone, and reduces the risk of desaturation in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
The human brain contributes 2% of the body weight yet receives 15% of cardiac output and demands a constant supply of oxygen (O 2) and nutrients to meet its metabolic needs. Cerebral autoregulation is responsible for maintaining a constant cerebral blood flow that provides the supply of oxygen and maintains the energy storage capacity. We selected oxygen administration-related studies published between 1975-2021 that included meta-analysis, original research, commentaries, editorial, and review articles. In the present narrative review, several important aspects of the oxygen effects on brain tissues and cerebral autoregulation are discussed, as well the role of exogenous O 2 administration in patients with chronic ischemic cerebrovascular disease: We aimed to revisit the utility of O 2 administration in pathophysiological situations whether or not being advantageous. Indeed, a compelling clinical and experimental body of evidence questions the utility of routine oxygen administration in acute and post-recovery brain ischemia, as evident by studies in neurophysiology imaging. While O 2 is still part of common clinical practice, it remains unclear whether its routine use is safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to a recent meta-analysis, in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, a high fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) did not increase postoperative atelectasis. However, a high FiO2 generally increases the risk of postoperative atelectasis. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of FiO2 on the development of atelectasis in obese patients using the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS). METHODS Patients were assigned to 4 groups: BMI ≥ 30: group A (n = 21) and group B (n = 20) and normal BMI: group C (n = 22) and group D (n = 21). Groups A and C were administered 100% O2 during preinduction and emergence and 50% O2 during anesthesia. Groups B and D received 40% O2 for anesthesia. The modified LUSS was assessed before and 20 min after arrival to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). RESULTS The difference between the modified LUSS preinduction and PACU was significantly higher in group A with a BMI ≥ 30 (P = .006); however, there was an insignificant difference between groups C and D in the normal BMI group (P = .076). CONCLUSION High FiO2 had a greater effect on the development of atelectasis in obese patients than did low FiO2; however, in normal-weight individuals, FiO2 did not have a significant effect on postoperative atelectasis.

Abstract
<b>Background</b>: At present, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, chronic pain is becoming more prominent, and it is also associated with the post-COVID-19 syndrome. Thanks to quick decisions on the therapy and as part of COVID-19 prevention, we have succeeded in stabilising the situation all over the world. On the other hand, ‘quick decisions’ have contributed to other significant issues which we are beginning to deal with now: in the effort to defeat the virus, many experts regarded the adverse effects of the medications used to be of secondary importance.<br />
<b>Purpose:</b> The article aims to demonstrate the side effects of treatment with various drugs (and their combinations) that are used to treat COVID-19 disease.<br />
<b>Method: </b>From the beginning of January until mid-May, the COVID-19 department of the 2nd Surgical Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine of the Comenius University in Bratislava (University Hospital Bratislava, Hospital of Saints Cyril and Methodius) treated 221 patients with moderate and severe course of COVID-19 (2nd wave of the pandemic). We saw some adverse effects and lack of effect of certain drugs for COVID-19.<br />
<b>Results: </b>The benefits of preventive measures compared to treatment are enormous. For example, corticoids can impair metabolism, cause diabetes, or suppress immunity. Antibiotics may cause colitis and blood pressure medications may negatively impact blood circulation.<br />
<b>Conclusion: </b>Preventive measures such as vaccination and activation of intrinsic antiviral immune systems are based on an incomparable benefit. Important in the process of the activation of antiviral immunity (linked to interferon synthesis) in the prevention of COVID-19 is the improvement of vitamin D deficit and the use of other micronutrients.<br />
<b>Practical value:</b> The results of the study will be valuable in the field of medicine, for virologists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, and medical professionals.

Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNO) is commonly used during the perioperative period. Its numerous physiological benefits, satisfactory tolerance and ease of use have led to its widespread application in intensive care and post-anesthesia care units. HFNO is also used in the operating theater in multiple indications: as oxygen supplementation (associated with pressurization) prior to orotracheal intubation; in digestive and bronchial endoscopies, especially in patients at risk of hypoxemia; and in intraoperative surgery requiring spontaneous ventilation (ENT, thoracic surgery…). During the postoperative period, HFNO can be used in a curative strategy for respiratory failure or in a prophylactic strategy to prevent reintubation. In a curative approach, HFNO seems of interest following cardiac or thoracic surgery but has not been evaluated in respiratory failure subsequent to abdominal surgery, in which case noninvasive ventilation remains the gold standard. The risk of respiratory complications depends on type of surgery and on patient comorbidities. As prophylaxis, HFNO is currently preferred to conventional oxygen therapy after cardiac or thoracic surgery, especially in patients at high risk of respiratory complications. For the clinician, it is important to acknowledge the limits of HFNO and to closely monitor patients receiving HFNO, the objective being to avoid delays in intubation that could lead to increased mortality.

Abstract
The Trachway video intubating stylet device facilitates the visualization of the airways of patients from the tip of an endotracheal tube (ETT) during intubation. The major limitations of Trachway are the restricted view due to secretions and the risk of a prolonged apnea during intubation. We conducted a bench study to verify the performance of an alternative, easily applicable airway device that allows better visualization of trackways during Trachway-assisted intubation and prevents the detrimental effects of apnea-related hypoxia. We conducted a bench study to thoroughly evaluate the oral-secretion-elimination ability of a newly designed oxygen delivery device (ODD) to improve vocal-cord visualization using the three commonly used ETT sizes (i.e., 7, 7.5, and 8 mm). Moreover, we measured the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) under different, continuous oxygen-flow supplies (1-10 L/min) during intubation. Each condition was analyzed for a 2 min video-stylet-intubation period. The supplemental oxygen flow and FiO2 fraction achieved using our ODD were higher, and smaller ETTs exhibited better secretion elimination. The ODD, which can be easily coupled with Trachway stylets, enabled high-quality visualization during oxygen flows of 6-8 L/min, and higher FiO2 fractions were achieved at higher oxygen flow rates. The use of the ODD improved the visualization of the airways during video stylet-assisted intubations using the additional FiO2 supply. The ODD developed in this study improves the visualization of airways with Trachway stylets and enhances the safety of intubation.

Abstract
Across multiple disciplines undertaking airway management globally, preventable episodes of unrecognised oesophageal intubation result in profound hypoxaemia, brain injury and death. These events occur in the hands of both inexperienced and experienced practitioners. Current evidence shows that unrecognised oesophageal intubation occurs sufficiently frequently to be a major concern and to merit a co-ordinated approach to address it. Harm from unrecognised oesophageal intubation is avoidable through reducing the rate of oesophageal intubation, combined with prompt detection and immediate action when it occurs. The detection of 'sustained exhaled carbon dioxide' using waveform capnography is the mainstay for excluding oesophageal placement of an intended tracheal tube. Tube removal should be the default response when sustained exhaled carbon dioxide cannot be detected. If default tube removal is considered dangerous, urgent exclusion of oesophageal intubation using valid alternative techniques is indicated, in parallel with evaluation of other causes of inability to detect carbon dioxide. The tube should be removed if timely restoration of sustained exhaled carbon dioxide cannot be achieved. In addition to technical interventions, strategies are required to address cognitive biases and the deterioration of individual and team performance in stressful situations, to which all practitioners are vulnerable. These guidelines provide recommendations for preventing unrecognised oesophageal intubation that are relevant to all airway practitioners independent of geography, clinical location, discipline or patient type.

Effectiveness of preoxygenation by conventional face mask versus non-invasive ventilation in morbidly obese patients: measurable by the oxygen-reserve index? J Clin Monit Comput 2022; 36:1767-1774. [PMID: 35167036 PMCID: PMC9637603 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-022-00825-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Preoxygenation is a crucial manoeuvre for patients' safety, particularly for morbidly obese patients due to their reduced pulmonary reserve and increased risk for difficult airway situations. The oxygen reserve index (ORI™) was recently introduced as a new parameter of multiple wavelength pulse oximetry and has been advocated to allow assessment of hyperoxia [quantified by the resulting arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)]. This study investigates if ORI can be used to evaluate the impact of two different preoxygenation manoeuvres on the grade of hyperoxia. Two preoxygenation manoeuvres were sequentially evaluated in 41 morbidly obese patients: First, breathing 100% oxygen for 5 min via standard face mask. Second, after achieving a second baseline, 5 min of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with 100% oxygen. The effect of preoxygenation on ORI compared to PaO2 was evaluated and whether differences in the two preoxygenation manoeuvres can be monitored by ORI. Overall correlation of PaO2 and ORI was significant (Spearman-Rho coefficient of correlation 0.818, p < 0.001). However, ORI could not differentiate between the two preoxygenation manoeuvres although the PaO2 values for NIV preoxygenation were significantly higher compared to standard preoxygenation (median 505 mmHg (M1) vs. 550 mmHg (M3); p < 0.0001). In contrast, ORI values did not differ significantly (median 0.39 (M1) vs. 0.38 (M3); p = 0.758). Absolute values of ORI cannot be used to assess effectiveness of a preoxygenation procedure in bariatric patients, mainly because its range of discrimination is considerably lower than the high ranges of PaO2 attained by adequate preoxygenation.

Abstract
Oxygen reserve index (ORI) is a novel dimensionless index used for noninvasive, real-time, and continuous monitoring of oxygenation, and ORI value ranges from 0 to 1, which reflects the range of 100-200 mmHg for arterial partial pressure of oxygen. ORI combined with pulse oximetry may help to accurately adjust the concentration of inspired oxygen and prevent hyperoxemia and hypoxemia. ORI is suitable for various clinical situations, and the medical staff should master this novel parameter and use it properly to assess the oxygenation of patients. In addition, several limitations of ORI should be noticed during clinical application.

Abstract
A 69-year-old male patient, a known case of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus on palliative care and Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) status, presented for urgent laparoscopic gastrostomy tube insertion under general anesthesia. The patient had developed an iatrogenic tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) because of the tracheal stent, which was placed for tracheal stenosis. A preoperative assessment was done, and a plan of airway management via one-lung ventilation (OLV) through an endobronchial tube was devised by the anesthesia team and discussed with the surgery team. The airway was secured via asleep fiberoptic right endobronchial intubation using a microlaryngeal tube (MLT) size 6 since there was uncertainty regarding adequate patency of the airway due to the invasion by the tumor and the presence of the stent. The patient remained hemodynamically stable. After surgical incision and insufflation of CO2 in the abdominal cavity, the patient's airway pressures were increased and we were unable to deliver adequate tidal volumes. Surgery was stopped; the presence of a kink in the circuit or endotracheal tube (ETT), the possibility of laryngospasm/bronchospasm, and pneumothorax were ruled out. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) revealed that the endobronchial tube was abutting the secondary carina. We pulled the MLT by 2 cm. The rest of the procedure was uneventful and we extubated the patient at the end of the procedure under vision using a fiber optic bronchoscope. The patient was discharged after two days of stay in the hospital. Our patient with TEF and tracheal stent posed a significant challenge for airway management. A thorough plan was drawn up and a team briefing was done. Perioperatively, the difficulty in ventilation was identified, and various other etiologies were ruled out with the successful identification and management of the problem.

Abstract
Apnoeic oxygenation is not only important for patients who cannot be intubated/ventilated, but also can be routinely employed when planning to secure the airway.We aimed to compare safe apnoea times between patients receiving modified nasopharyngeal oxygen therapy and those receiving high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) following the induction of general anaesthesia.This was a single-centre, randomized controlled clinical study. Eighty-four female patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gynaecological surgery under general anaesthesia were randomly assigned to the high-flow nasal oxygen therapy group (Group HFNO) or the modified nasopharyngeal oxygen therapy group (Group Naso). A Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to describe the apnoeic oxygenation time.The safe apnoea time of the patients in the Group Naso was higher than that of the patients in the Group HFNO (20 (19.3 to 20.0) vs. 16.5 (12.9 to 20) minutes, P < 0.05). The incidence of SpO2 < 95% in the Group Naso was lower than that in the Group HFNO; hazard ratio 0.3 (95% confidence interval 0.2 to 0.6, P < 0.0001). Modified nasopharyngeal oxygen therapy which uses far less oxygen than HFNO is a convenient and effective method of apnoeic oxygenation in normal female patients.Trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn , ChiCTR2000039433; date of registration: 28/10/2020.

Abstract
If we define the human body by the mass of the elements that compose it, we could say that we are oxygen and other elements. Oxygen, in addition to being fundamental in our composition, is an element that we constantly need to support cellular respiration and, therefore, life. Interestingly, despite its importance, humans have not developed mechanisms that allow us to store it and, therefore, we are unable to sustain life if we are deprived of ventilation, even for brief periods. Accordingly, the ability to induce the cessation of ventilation in a patient must be accompanied by different technical and non-technical skills that allow the patient's safety to be maintained in this highly vulnerable state. Through the use of basic mathematical tools and comparative physiology, we hereby propose to review the physiological foundations of preoxygenation to understand the reasons behind the clinical recommendations in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety of preoxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygenation in elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. METHODS Fifty-six elderly patients without difficult airway were randomized equally into high-flow nasal oxygen group (HF group) and conventional mask oxygen group (M group). Preoxygenation was performed for 5 min before induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. Oxygenation was maintained during laryngoscopy in HF group, and ventilation lasted until laryngoscopy in M group. For all the patients, the general data, cross-sectional area (CSA) of the gastric antrum measured by ultrasonography, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (cSO2) were recorded before preoxygenation (T1), at 5 min of preoxygenation (T2) and immediately after intubation (T3). The safety time of asphyxia, intubation time, times of mask ventilation and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The general data were comparable between the two groups. After 5 min of preoxygenation, PaO2 and cSO2 were significantly increased in both groups, and PaO2 was significantly higher in HF group than in M group (F=118.108 vs 9.511, P < 0.05). Both PaO2 and cSO2 decreased after intubation, but PaO2 decreased more slowly in HF group and still remained higher than that at T1; cSO2 decreased significantly in M group to a lower level than that at T1. Compared with those in M group, the patients in HF group showed a significantly longer safety time of asphyxia (t=5.305, P < 0.05) with fewer times of mask ventilation (χ2= 6.720, P < 0.05). PaCO2 increased after intubation in both groups but was comparable between the two groups (F=3.138, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION High-flow nasal oxygen is safe, simple and effective for pre-oxygenation, which, as compared with the conventional oxygen mask, improves arterial oxygen partial pressure and prolongs the safety time of asphyxia to ensure the safety of airway management during induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with endotracheal intubation.

Fraction of Expired Oxygen as a Measure of Preoxygenation Prior to Rapid Sequence Intubation in the Pediatric Emergency Department. J Emerg Med 2022; 63:62-71. [PMID: 35933262 DOI: 10.1016/j.jemermed.2022.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulse oximetry (SpO2) is a flawed measure of adequacy of preoxygenation prior to intubation. The fraction of expired oxygen (FeO2) is a promising but understudied alternative. OBJECTIVE To investigate FeO2 as a measure of preoxygenation prior to intubation in a pediatric emergency department. METHODS We conducted a prospective, observational study of patients 18 and younger. We collected data using video review, and FeO2 was measured via inline sampling. The main outcomes were FeO2 and SpO2 at the start of preoxygenation, end of preoxygenation/start of intubation attempt, and the end of intubation attempt. We compared FeO2 and SpO2 at the end of preoxygenation for patients with and without oxyhemoglobin desaturation. RESULTS We enrolled 85 of 88 eligible patients during the 14-month study period. FeO2 data were available at the start of preoxygenation for 53 of 85 patients (62%), and for the end of preoxygenation for 59 of 85 patients (69%). Median FeO2 at the start and end of preoxygenation was 90% (interquartile range [IQR] 88, 92) and 90% (IQR 88, 92). Median SpO2 at the start and end of preoxygenation was 100% (IQR 100, 100). There were 11 episodes of desaturation, with median FeO2 at the start of intubation attempt of 89.5 (IQR 54.5, 91.5) and median SpO2 of 100 (IQR 99, 100). Patients who did not have a desaturation event had a median FeO2 of 90.0 (IQR 88.0, 92.0). CONCLUSIONS Measuring FeO2 during rapid sequence intubation is challenging with feasibility limitations, but may be a more discriminatory metric of adequate preoxygenation.

The effect of ultrasound-guided lung recruitment maneuvers on atelectasis in lung-healthy patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: a randomized controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2022; 22:200. [PMID: 35778701 PMCID: PMC9248140 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01742-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis is the primary cause of hypoxemia during general anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the combination of recruitment maneuvers (RM) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the incidence of atelectasis in adult women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery using pulmonary ultrasound. METHODS In this study, 42 patients with healthy lungs undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomly divided into the recruitment maneuver group (RM group; 6 cm H2O PEEP and RM) or the control group (C group; 6 cm H2O PEEP and no RM), 21 patients in each group. Volume-controlled ventilation was used in all selected patients, with a tidal volume of 6-8 mL·kg-1 of ideal body weight. When atelectasis was detected, patients in the RM group received ultrasound-guided RM, while those in the C group received no intervention. The incidence and severity of atelectasis were determined using lung ultrasound scores. RESULTS A total of 41 patients were investigated. The incidence of atelectasis was lower in the RM group (40%) than in the C group (80%) 15 min after arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Meanwhile, lung ultrasound scores (LUSs) were lower in the RM group compared to the C group. In addition, the differences in the LUS between the two groups were mainly due to the differences in lung ultrasound scores in the posterior regions. However, this difference did not persist after 24 h of surgery. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the combination of RM and PEEP could reduce the incidence of atelectasis in patients with healthy lungs 15 min after arrival at the PACU; however, it disappeared within 24 h after surgery.

Efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygenation against peri- and post-procedural hypoxemia in patients with obesity: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6448.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aimed at investigating the efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) against hypoxemia in patients with obesity compared with conventional oxygenation therapy and non-invasive ventilation. Databases were searched from inception to August 2021. Studies involving peri- or post-procedural use of HFNO were included. The primary outcome was risk of hypoxemia, while the secondary outcomes included status of oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination. Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. We found that HFNO prolonged the safe apnea time at induction compared to control group [mean difference (MD) = 73.88 s, p = 0.0004; 2 RCTs] with no difference in risk of peri-procedural hypoxemia [relative risk (RR) = 0.91, p = 0.64; 4 RCTs], minimum SpO2 (MD = 0.09%, p = 0.95; 4 RCTs), PaO2 (MD = − 8.13 mmHg, p = 0.86; 3 RCTs), PaCO2 (MD = − 6.71%, p = 0.2; 2 RCTs), EtCO2 (MD = − 0.28 mmHg, p = 0.8; 4 RCTs) between the two groups. HFNO also did not improve postprocedural PaO2/FiO2 ratio (MD = 41.76, p = 0.58; 2 RCTs) and PaCO2 (MD = − 2.68 mmHg, p = 0.07; 2 RCTs). This meta-analysis demonstrated that the use of HFNO may be associated with a longer safe apnea time without beneficial impact on the risk of hypoxemia, oxygenation, and CO2 elimination in patients with obesity. The limited number of trials warranted further large-scale studies to support our findings.

Comparison of the effectiveness of high-flow nasal oxygen vs. standard facemask oxygenation for pre- and apneic oxygenation during anesthesia induction: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Anesthesiol 2022; 22:100. [PMID: 35387583 PMCID: PMC8985355 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-022-01615-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has been widely used in clinic, especially in perioperative period. Many studies have discussed the role of HFNO in pre- and apneic oxygenation, but their results are controversial. Our study aimed to examine the effectiveness of HFNO in pre- and apneic oxygenation by a meta-analysis of RCTs. METHODS EMBASE, PUBMED, and COCHRANE LIBRARY databases were searched from inception to July 2021 for relevant randomized controlled trails (RCTs) on the effectiveness of HFNO versus standard facemask ventilation (FMV) in pre- and apenic oxygenation. Studies involving one of the following six indicators: (1) Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), (2) End expiratory oxygen concentration (EtO2), (3) Safe apnoea time, (4) Minimum pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2min), (5) Oxygenation (O2) desaturation, (6) End expiratory carbon dioxide (EtCO2) or Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure(PaCO2) were included. Due to the source of clinical heterogeneity in the observed indicators in this study, we adopt random-effects model for analysis, and express it as the mean difference (MD) or risk ratio (RR) with a confidence interval of 95% (95%CI). We conducted a risk assessment of bias for eligible studies and assessed the overall quality of evidence for each outcome. RESULTS Fourteen RCTs and 1012 participants were finally included. We found the PaO2 was higher in HFNO group than FMV group with a MD (95% CI) of 57.38 mmHg (25.65 to 89.10; p = 0.0004) after preoxygenation and the safe apnoea time was significantly longer with a MD (95% CI) of 86.93 s (44.35 to 129.51; p < 0.0001) during anesthesia induction. There were no significant statistical difference in the minimum SpO2, CO2 accumulation, EtO2 and O2 desaturation rate during anesthesia induction between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that HFNO should be considered as an oxygenation tool for patients during anesthesia induction. Compared with FMV, continuous use of HFNO during anesthesia induction can significantly improve oxygenation and prolong safe apnoea time in surgical patients.
