Supraglottic Airway Use in Children

supraglottic airway, children, safety, efficacy
Brief summary
This purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness, risk factors, and complications associated with use of supraglottic airway devices for primary airway maintenance during routine anesthesia in children.
Detailed description
This study aims to understand the efficacy of supraglottic airway (SGA) use in children in a tertiary care Children's Hospital. Observational data regarding the type of SGA, experience level of practitioner, placement technique, number of placement attempts or placement failure, device failure, and cause of any related peri-operative complications will be prospectively collected. The data collected in this study will allow the investigators to assess the overall safety and efficacy of SGA use in various medical and surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia in children.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Supraglottic Airway Device Failure | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | Occurrence and reason for supraglottic airway device failure (ie inadequate ventilation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, etc) will be recorded in addition to conversion to tracheal intubation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple Attempts to Place Supraglottic Airway Device | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | change in device, placement method, and provider will be recorded |
| Airway Maneuvers/interventions | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | the number and type of airway maneuvers performed after device placement and during maintenance will be recorded |
| Ease of Placement of Supraglottic Airway Device | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | Ease of placement of supraglottic airway device ranging from 1 (easy) to 4 (difficult) |
| Intraoperative Complications | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | Time period of complication (ie during device placement, maintenance, or removal) and cause of complication (ie. dental injury, light anesthesia, regurgitation, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration, etc.) will be recorded |
| Postoperative Complications | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and 24 hours postoperatively | Complications noted postoperatively relating to reflex activation of the airway, sore throat, or hoarseness |
| Occurrence of Inadequate Ventilation | participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia and after surgery, an expected average of 12 hours | cause and solution for inadequate ventilation will be recorded |
