Introduction Awake video laryngoscopy is a novel option in airway management that is drawing more and more attention as an alternative to awake endoscopic guided intubation.Main issues: Intubation under preserved spontaneous breathing is the safest method to secure the expected difficult airway. In direct comparisons to awake flexible endoscopic intubation, awake video laryngoscopy achieves satisfactory intubation times and a high acceptance of patients and anesthesiologists. Specific cases, in particular very limited mouth opening or sub-glottic masses, require awake flexible endoscopic intubation. Sufficient topical anesthesia and a sophisticated sedation protocol are prerequisites for su…

Short-Term Outcomes of Patients With COVID-19 Undergoing Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Retrospective Observational Study From Wuhan, China.

2020

Background: COVID-19 has spread rapidly worldwide. Many patients require mechanical ventilation. The goal of this study was to investigate the clinical course and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 undergoing mechanical ventilation and identify factors associated with death. Methods: Eighty-three consecutive critically ill patients with confirmed COVID-19 undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation were included in this retrospective, single-center, observational study from January 31 to March 15, 2020. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological, and mechanical ventilation data were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality after endotracheal intubation. The secon…

Analysis and review of the perioperative management of COVID-19 patients in thoracic surgery.

2021

Resumen Debido a la grave situacion de pandemia que vivimos causada por el COVID-19, la Seccion de Anestesia Cardiaca, Vascular y Toracica de la SEDAR pretende dar informacion de los aspectos mas relevantes a considerar en pacientes con sospecha o infeccion confirmada por coronavirus que van a ser sometidos a cirugia toracica. Creemos que es esencial mantener una optima transmision de informacion para llevar a cabo maniobras seguras, tanto para los pacientes como para el personal sanitario. La estrategia de manejo debe basarse en una organizacion exquisita del trabajo, definiendo quien, como y cuando va a realizar cada tarea y procedimiento. Las recomendaciones que se proponen, tras valorar…

High flow nasal therapy in immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

2019

Abstract Purpose The role of high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) as compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in immunocompromised patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with acute respiratory failure (ARF) remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to address this issue. Methods We searched PubMed, Medline and Embase until November 7th, 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized prospective and retrospective evidence were selected. Observational studies were considered for sensitivity analysis. Primary outcome was mortality rate; intubation rate was a secondary outcome. Results We included four studies in the primary analysis: one RCT…

The management of unanticipated difficult airways in children of all age groups in anaesthetic practice - the position paper of an expert panel

2019

Abstract Children form a specific group of patients, as there are significant differences between children and adults in both anatomy and physiology. Difficult airway may be unanticipated or anticipated. Difficulties encountered during intubation may cause hypoxia, hypoxic brain injury and, in extreme situations, may result in the patient’s death. There are few paediatric difficult-airway guidelines available in the current literature, and some of these have significant limitations. This position paper, intended for unanticipated difficult airway, was elaborated by the panel of specialists representing the Polish Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care as well as the Polish Neonatal S…

Usage of a semi-rigid intubation endoscope is not superior to a video laryngoscope. A prospective, randomised, controlled trial comparing the SensaSc…

2018

Abstract Introduction Numerous guidelines and techniques have been developed to manage difficult airways and to prevent problems in airway management. To achieve an optimal view of the glottis, various video laryngoscopes and video stylets have been developed and introduced in clinical anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the time to place the tracheal tube (TT) with the McGrath™ Series 5 (McG; Medtronic Dublin, Ireland) and the semi-rigid intubation endoscope SensaScope™ (Sc; Acutronic Medical Systems AG, Hirzel, Switzerland) in elective surgery patients. Methods With the approval of the local ethics committee, patients were recruited for this prospective, randomised clinical …
