Influence of head and neck position on the performance of supraglottic airway devices: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Changes in head and neck position may significantly affect the performance of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) by altering the pharyngeal structure. PURPOSE:This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the effect of changes in head and neck position on performance of SADs. DATA SOURCE:Bibliographic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane library, and the Web of Science. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:Prospective studies investigating the effects of head and neck positions on the performance of SADs. METHODS:A random effect model was applied in the all analyses. Subgroup analysis was performed according to the type of device and the age of patient. The oropharyngeal leak pressure was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included peak inspiratory pressure, fibreoptic view, and ventilation score (PROSPERO, CRD42017076971). RESULTS:Seventeen studies met the eligibility criteria. Overall, the oropharyngeal leak pressure significantly increased (mean difference 4.07 cmH2O; 95% confidence interval 3.30 to 4.84) during neck flexion with adverse effects on ventilation and fibreoptic view. Conversely, the oropharyngeal leak pressure decreased (mean difference -4.05; 95% confidence interval -4.90 to -3.20) during neck extension with no significant effect on ventilation or fibreoptic view. Rotation of the head and neck did not significantly affect SAD performance. CONCLUSIONS:The reduced oropharyngeal leak pressure in the extended neck position was not associated with impaired ventilation except with the air-Q self-pressurizing airway. The flexed neck position significantly worsens ventilation and the alignment between the SAD and glottis despite improving the seal except with the air-Q self-pressurizing airway and LMA Proseal.

Project description:Supraglottic airway devices (SGA) are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia and serve as primary or back-up devices for difficult airway management. Most SGA are marketed without proper clinical evaluation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the pediatric LMA Supreme™, Air-Q® and Ambu® Aura-i™.This prospective observational study was performed at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland. With ethics committee approval and a waiver for written informed consent 240 children undergoing elective surgery with an ASA class I-III and a weight of 5-30 kg were included. Three different pediatric supraglottic airway devices were assessed: The LMA Supreme™, Air-Q® and Ambu® Aura-i™. Primary outcome parameter was airway leak pressure. Secondary outcome parameters included first attempt and overall success rate, insertion time, fiberoptic view through the SGA, and adverse events. The primary hypothesis was that the mean airway leak pressure of each tested SGA was 20 cmH2O ± 10%.None of the SGA showed a mean airway leak pressure of 20 cmH2O ± 10%, but mean airway leak pressures differed significantly between devices [LMA Supreme™ 18.0 (3.4) cmH2O, Air-Q® 15.9 (3.2) cmH2O, Ambu® Aura-i™ 17.3 (3.7) cmH2O, p < 0.001]. First attempt success rates (LMA Supreme™ 100%, Air-Q® 90%, Ambu® Aura-i™ 91%, p = 0.02) and overall success rates (LMA Supreme™ 100%, Air-Q® 91%, Ambu® Aura-i™ 95%, p = 0.02) also differed significantly. Insertion times ranged from 20 (7) seconds (Air-Q®) to 24 (6) seconds (LMA Supreme™, <p = 0.005). Insertion was rated easiest with the LMA Supreme™ (very easy in 97% vs. Air-Q® 70%, Ambu® Aura-i™ 72%, p < 0.001). Fiberoptic view was similar between the SGA. Adverse events were rare.Airway leak pressures ranged from 16 to 18 cmH2O, enabling positive pressure ventilation with all successful SGA. The highest success rates were achieved by the LMA Supreme™, which was also rated easiest to insert.ClinicalTrials.gov , identifier NCT01625858 . Registered 31 May 2012.
