Evaluation of the optimal cuff volume and cuff pressure of the revised laryngeal tube "LTS-D" in surgical patients.

ABSTRACT: Recent case reports have indicated significant cuff overinflation when using the standard filling volume based on the manufacturer's recommendations in older models of laryngeal tubes. The aim of this study was to determine the minimum cuff pressure needed to perform standardized ventilation without leakage in the new, revised model of the laryngeal tube "LTS-D".After ethical approval, LTS-D was placed for ventilation in 60 anesthetized patients. The cuff was inflated to the recommended volume (#3: 60 ml, #4: 80 ml, and #5: 90 ml). After evaluation of the initial cuff pressure (CP), the CP was lowered in 10 cmH2O steps until a minimal cuff pressure of 30 cmH2O was achieved. The absence of an audible leak was required for a step-by-step reduction in the CP. Evacuated cuff volume, success rate, and airway injuries were documented. Data were expressed as medians (interquartile ranges [IQRs]). The comparison of CPs and cuff volumes was performed using the Mann-Whitney test.After initial inflation, the CP ranged from 105 cmH2O [90-120; #5] to 120 cmH2O [110-120; #3]. Lowering the CP to 60 cmH2O resulted in a reduced cuff volume ranging from 47 ml [44-54; #3] to 77 ml [75-82; #5] compared to the initial inflation (p?

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the relationship between visualization and blood pressure during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) in the beach-chair position and to clarify the optimal blood pressure to maintain good visualization during surgery.MethodsOne senior surgeon evaluated intraoperative visualization at the start of arthroscopy, at acromioplasty, at the refresh of the footprint on the greater tuberosity, at marrow vent creation in the footprint on the greater tuberosity, and at rotator cuff fixation. The evaluation grades were: 5, clear; 4, mild bleeding; 3, bleeding but operable; 2, poor visualization due to bleeding; and 1, inability to continue surgery due to massive bleeding. During ARCR, an arterial line was inserted, and blood pressure was measured continuously. The relationship between visualization and blood pressure was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed with evaluation grades 5 and 4 as the good visualization group and the other evaluation grades as the poor visualization group.ResultsVisualization assessment and systolic/diastolic blood pressure were associated at the start of arthroscopy (P = .0257/.0057), at acromioplasty (P = .0023/.0399), and at the refresh of the footprint (P = .0201/.0272). The average blood pressure of evaluation grade 5 cases was 91/50 mm Hg. The cut-off values, based on the area under the curve on receiver operating characteristic analysis, were as follows: 104/60 mm Hg (0.91-0.95) at acromioplasty; 116/70 (0.94-0.96) at the refresh of the footprint; 116/70 mm Hg (0.94-0.96) at the refresh of the footprint; and 106/58 mm Hg (0.73-0.70) at marrow vent creation.ConclusionsGood visualization during ARCR in the beach-chair position was significantly associated with blood pressure. An optimal blood pressure resulting in good visualization that would not cause excessive hypotension during ARCR surgery in the beach-chair position might be a systolic blood pressure of 100 mm Hg.Level of evidenceIII, prospective, nonrandomized, observational study.

Project description:The Laryngeal Tube Suction Disposable (LTS-D) and the Supreme Laryngeal Mask Airway (SLMA) are second generation supraglottic airway devices (SADs) with an added channel to allow gastric drainage. We studied the efficacy of these devices when using pressure controlled mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia for short and medium duration surgical procedures and compared the oropharyngeal seal pressure in different head and-neck positions.Eighty patients in each group had either LTS-D or SLMA for airway management. The patients were recruited in two different institutions. Primary outcome variables were the oropharyngeal seal pressures in neutral, flexion, extension, right and left head-neck position. Secondary outcome variables were time to achieve an effective airway, ease of insertion, number of attempts, maneuvers necessary during insertion, ventilatory parameters, success of gastric tube insertion and incidence of complications.The oropharyngeal seal pressure achieved with the LTS-D was higher than the SLMA in, (extension (p=0.0150) and right position (p=0.0268?? at 60 cm H2O intracuff pressures and nearly significant in neutral position (p?=?0.0571). The oropharyngeal seal pressure was significantly higher with the LTS-D during neck extension as compared to SLMA (p=?0.015). Similar oropharyngeal seal pressures were detected in all other positions with each device. The secondary outcomes were comparable between both groups. Patients ventilated with LTS-D had higher incidence of sore throat (p?=?0.527). No major complications occurred.Better oropharyngeal seal pressure was achieved with the LTS-D in head-neck right and extension positions , although it did not appear to have significance in alteration of management using pressure control mechanical ventilation in neutral position. The fiberoptic view was better with the SLMA. The post-operative sore throat incidence was higher in the LTS-D.ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02856672 , Unique Protocol ID:BnaiZionMC-16-LG-001, Registered: August 2016.
