Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of self-made washable endotracheal tube for subglottic secretion drainage. Methods Ordinary endotracheal tube and sputum aspirating tubes were used to make washable endotracheal tube for subglottic secretion drainage in our hospital. The self-made tubes were compared with washable endotracheal tube available on the market. The suction resistance, the cases of obstruction in the tubes, the average daily drainage, and the cases of infection of incisional wound were compared between the two kinds of tubes, and their safety was evaluated. Results After three days of application, the suction resistance of endotracheal tube available on the market increased, with six cases of the blockage of the lumen ( 85% ) , while that of self-made endotracheal tube did not change, with no cases of blockage ( 0% ) . There was significant difference between these two kinds of tubes ( P lt;0. 01) . The average daily drainage in the former was ( 16. 55 ±8. 66) mL/d; while that in the latter was ( 40. 12 ±25. 48) mL/d. There was no significant statistical difference between the two kinds of tubes ( P gt;0. 05) . The incidence ofinfection of incisional wound in the ordinary endotracheal tube was 50% ( 5 cases) ; that in the tubes available on the market was 28% ( 2 cases) ; that in the self-made tubes was 15% ( 2 cases) . There was significant difference among the three groups. When tube cuffs were inflated, the distance between the back edge of suction tubes and tube cuffs was was 2-4 mm. Conclusion Self-made washable endotracheal tubes are effective for subglottic secretion drainage with good safety and low price.
Objective To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of streamlined liner of the pharynx airway (SLIPA) compared with endotracheal tube (TT) for airway management in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Methods Databases such as PubMed (1992 to February 2012), EMbase (1984 to February 2012), MEDLINE (Ovid, 1964 to February 2012), SCI (1992 to February 2012), CNKI (1992 to February 2012), CBM (2002 to 2012) as well as WanFang Data (1992 to February 2012) were searched for relevant literature. The references of the included articles were also manually traced. Two reviewers independently screened the trials according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of methodology. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Ten randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 664 patients were included. Results of meta-analysis showed that: a) as for side effects, none of the patients experienced regurgitation or hypoventilation during operation; b) as for extubation response, SLIPA was proved fewer than TT during extubation with a significant difference (RR=0.14, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.36, Plt;0.000 1); c) SLIPA was superior to TT with regard to reducing postoperative sore throat (RR=0.15, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.38, Plt;0.000 1); d) SLIPA was similar to TT with regard to Ppeak after peritoneal insufflations (WMD=–0.07, 95%CI –0.73 to 0.59, P=0.83); e) as for PETCO2, the SLIPA group was lower than the TT group obviously after peritoneal insufflations (WMD=–1.09, 95%CI –1.70 to –0.49, P=0.000 4); f) as for hemodynamic change, the SLIPA group was more stable than the TT group during the operation with significant differences (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Current studies suggest that it is safe and effective to apply SLIPA for ventilation in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are need.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and endotracheal tube (ETT) for airway management in pediatric general anesthesia. Methods Randomized controlled trials were collected through electronic searches of the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CBM, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI from the date of establishment to November 2010. All the related data that matched the standards were abstracted by two reviewers independently. The quality of the included trials was evaluated according to the Cochrane Handbook 5.0. RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analysis of the complications, success of insertion on the first attempt and hemodynamic changes. Results A total of 39 trials involving 2 612 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that LMA was superior to ETT in terms of less cough (RR=0.21, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.28, Plt;0.000 01), laryngospasm or bronchospasm (RR=0.37, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.77, P=0.008) and agitation (RR=0.14, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.22, Plt;0.000 01) during emergency. The incidence of postoperative sore throat (RR=0.32, 95%CI 0.19 to 0.55, Plt;0.000 1), hoarse voice (RR=0.09, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.27, Plt;0.000 1), nausea and vomiting (RR=0.46, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.80, P=0.006) was significantly lower in the LMA group. The hemodynamic changes during insertion and extraction of LMA were more stable than ETT, such as the heart rate changes in insertion, extraction and post-extraction period (SMD= –1.18, 95%CI –1.59 to –0.77, Plt;0.000 01; SMD= –1.29 95%CI –1.72 to –0.86, Plt;0.000 01; and SMD= –1.51 95%CI –2.15 to –0.87, Plt;0.000 01, respectively) and the MAP changes in insertion, extraction and post-extraction period (SMD= –1.21, 95%CI –1.39 to –1.02, Plt;0.000 01; SMD= –1.31, 95%CI –1.77 to –0.85, Plt;0.000 01; and SMD= –0.85, 95%CI –1.24 to –0.46, Plt;0.000 1, respectively); but no significant differences in postoperative regurgitation and aspiration (RR=3.00, 95%CI 0.62 to 14.61, P=0.17) and successful insertion on the first attempt (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.05, P=0.84) were found between the LMA and ETT groups. Conclusion Current evidence indicates that the laryngeal mask airway is superior to endotracheal tube in terms of fewer complications during emergency and after operation as well as stable hemodynamic changes. So, it is a selective, safe and effective airway management for children.
Objective To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of ProSeal laryngeal mask (PLMA) compared to endotracheal tube (TT) for airway management in the patients undergoing laparoscopic biliary tract surgery.Methods Using the Cochrane systematic review methods, we searched the Cochrane Controlled Trial Registers (CCTR) of The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, VIP, and CNKI databases through May 2008. We also handsearched relevant journals and conference proceedings. Two reviewers independently selected studies and assessed the quality of the trials. Disagreements were resolved by discussion, in consultation with a third reviewer. RevMan 4.2 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration was used for meta-analysis which was performed for combining the results of homogeneitystudies. Results Seven studies involving 493 patients undergoing laparoscopic biliary tract surgery were included. Meta analysis results showed that: ① Side effects: none of the patients experienced regurgitation or hypoventilation. ② PLMA was superior to TT in terms of less postoperative sore throat (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.53, P=0.0002) and response during extubation (OR=0.01, 95%CI 0.00 to 0.03, Plt;0.00001). ③ PLMA was similar to TT in terms of effective ventilation during peritoneal insufflation (Ppeak: WMD=0.01, 95%CI -0.66 to 0.68, P=0.98; PetCO2: WMD=0.01, 95%CI -0.58 to 0.59, P=0.99) and ease of insertion (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.23 to 1.47, P=0.25). ④ Hemodymatics changed during the procedure: PLMA was more stable than TT. Conclusion It is safe to use PLMA for ventilation in laparoscopic biliary tract surgery. However, up to now, we still cannot draw a definite conclusion due to the low quality of the included studies, and more high quality trials of PLMA airway management for laporoscopic surgery are needed.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of laryngeal mask versus endotracheal tubes for laparoscopic surgery.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy and safety of laryngeal mask versus endotracheal tubes for laparoscopic surgery from inception to April, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 16 RCTs involving 1 593 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there was no significant difference in the success rate of the first insertion (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.96 to 1.02, P=0.55). The airway pressure of patients whose position were head higher than foot was significantly lower in the laryngeal mask group than in the tracheal intubation group (MD=–1.20, 95%CI –1.81 to –0.59, P=0.000 1), but there was no significant difference between two groups in reverse position patients (MD=0.48, 95%CI –0.90 to 1.87, P=0.49). The incidence of sore throat (RR=0.58, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.74, P<0.000 01), the incidence of blood stain (RR=0.48, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.77, P=0.002), the incidence of laryngeal spasm/bronchial spasm (OR=0.30, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.80, P=0.02) and the incidence of cough/hiccup (RR=0.10, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.15, P<0.000 01) in the laryngeal mask group were significantly lower than those in the tracheal intubation group.ConclusionThe current evidence shows that compared with tracheal intubation, laryngeal mask can effectively reduce airway pressure of patients whose position are head higher than foot. The risks of various complications are significant higher in tracheal intubation in laparoscopic surgery. Laryngeal mask can maintain patients' normal respiratory functions while reduce damage and do not increase the occurrence of reflux aspiration. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
