Laryngeal Mask Airway

Keywords

Laryngeal mask airway, Intubation, nasal bone fracture, recovery

Brief summary

In surgery under general anesthesia due to nasal bone fracture, laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation has been used. However, it has not been investigated that the difference of recovery profiles according to use of laryngeal mask airway or tracheal intubation in nasal bone fracture surgery. The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway regarding recovery profiles and airway complications, compared to tracheal intubation.

Interventions

DEVICELaryngeal mask airway

LMA Flexible is a supraglottic airway device, which can be moved out of the surgical field without displacement of the cuff, or loss of seal for the anesthetist

DEVICEEndotracheal tube

Endotracheal tube is a plain tube, which is most commonly used in general anesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
cough during extubationFrom end of surgery to extubationGrade of cough during periextubation periods (0=no cough, 1=single cough, 2=more than one episode of non-sustained cough, 3=sustained and repetitive cough with head lift)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adequate tidal volume during mechanical ventilationFrom insertion of airway device to extubationTidal volume (ml)
Adequate ventilation during mechanical ventilationFrom insertion of airway device to extubationend-tidal carbon dioxide
Airway pressure during mechanical ventilationFrom insertion of airway device to extubationpeak and mean airway pressure
Changes of heart rateBefore anethetic induction, 1 minute after intubation, the end of surgery, 1 minute after extubation.Heart rate
Changes of blood pressureBefore anethetic induction, 1 minute after intubation, the end of surgery, 1 minute after extubation.mean blood pressure
Changes of saturationBefore anethetic induction, 1 minute after intubation, the end of surgery, 1 minute after extubation.peripheral saturation
Number of Participants with blood contamination at vocal cord and distal tracheaBetween the end of surgery and extubationBlood contamination was examined using fibrobronchoscope.
Device blood contaminationAt airway device removal0=no contamination, 1=external contamination of the tube, 2=some soilage of the inner surface of the tube, 3=frank coating of the inner surface of the tube
Number of Participants with airway complications after extubationFrom extubation to 5 minutes after extubationlaryngospasm, hypoventilation (respiratory rate \<8/minutes), desaturation (peripheral pulse oximetry saturation \<95%)
Time to eye opening and time to extubationFrom anesthetic discontinuation to eye opening and extubationTime in seconds from anesthetic discontinuation to eye opening at verbal commend and time in seconds from anesthetic discontinuation to extubation
Number of Participants with postoperative airway complications30 minutes after surgery and postoperative 1 daySore throat, hoarseness, dysphagia, and nausea and vomiting
