Brief summary

In recent year, non-intubated anesthesia had emerged as an available alternative for thoracic procedure. Whether non-intubated tracheal/carinal reconstruction confers distinct perioperative advantages over the conventional intubated approach remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of non-intubated versus intubated approaches in tracheal and carinal reconstruction.

Detailed description

Tracheal/carinal resection and reconstruction remains a technically demanding procedure with high risks of morbidity and mortality. Traditionally, tracheal surgery is performed under intubated anesthesia, with intermittent endotracheal ventilation to maintain oxygenation during airway reconstruction. However, endotracheal intubation with cross-field ventilation obstructs the surgical field and potentially complicating the reconstruction procedure. Non-intubated anesthesia have has gained widespread adoption for modern thoracic surgery. However, the safety and feasibility of non-intubated tracheal and carinal reconstruction have not been studied by randomized controlled trial. So, this randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether the non-intubated approach offers comparable short-term and long-term outcomes to the conventional intubated procedure.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Conversion ratepostoperative in-hospital stay up to 30 daysThe rate of conversion to intubated approach in the operation
Postoperative complications ratepostoperative in-hospital stay up to 30 daysNumber and severity of adverse events that are related to the treatment of each patient. Postoperative treatment-related complications were assessed by the Clavien-Dindo Classification. Treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

Length of resectionpostoperative in-hospital stay up to 30 daysLength of resection in the operation
Operative timepostoperative in-hospital stay up to 30 daysOperative time was defined as the time between the start of the surgery (incision) and the finish of surgery (closure of the skin).
Volume of postoperative drainagepostoperative in-hospital stay up to 30 daysThe volume of postoperative drainage of the patient was the sum of his daily drainage volume after the surgery.
