Capnography guided awake nasal intubation in a 4 month infant with pierre robin syndrome for cleft lip repair-a better technique.

ABSTRACT: This four-month-old Pierre Robin child was admitted for cleft lip repair with history of two failed attempts at intubation and subsequent cancellation of surgery. The capnography guided awake nasal intubation was considered as the child's parents were desperate to get the surgery done. A modified cuffless endotracheal tube was used with a capnography sampling tube placed within it. With the capnograph guidance the expiratory gas flow was followed to successfully intubate the child.This technique was found to be very convenient and helpful. The use of this technique in an infant has not been reported so far.

In which clinical scenario would awake fibreoptic nasal intubation be employed?

Project description:Key clinical messageThe routine way to access the uncomplicated airway is via direct laryngoscopy. When this is not possible, there are a number of other techniques to help visualization such as the video laryngoscopy. These require a degree of mouth opening. With almost complete trismus, the clinician should resort to awake fibreoptic nasal intubation to secure the airway.

Use of Biphasic Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Premature Infant with Cleft Lip-Cleft Palate.

Project description:Preterm infants (PIs) often require respiratory support due to surfactant deficiency. Early weaning from mechanical ventilation to noninvasive respiratory support decreases ventilation-associated irreversible lung damage. This wean is particularly challenging in PIs with cleft lip and cleft palate due to anatomical difficulties encountered in maintaining an adequate seal for positive pressure ventilation. PI with a cleft lip and palate often fail noninvasive respiratory support and require continued intubation and mechanical ventilation. We are presenting the first case report of a PI with cleft lip and palate who was managed by biphasic nasal continuous positive airway pressure.

Effects of cleft lip on visual scanning and neural processing of infant faces.

Project description:Infant faces readily capture adult attention and elicit enhanced neural processing, likely due to their importance evolutionarily in facilitating bonds with caregivers. Facial malformations have been shown to impact early infant-caregiver interactions negatively. However, it remains unclear how such facial malformations may impact early visual processing. The current study used a combination of eye tracking and electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate adults' early visual processing of infant faces with cleft lip/palate as compared to normal infant faces, as well as the impact cleft palate has on perceived cuteness. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in early visual attention to the eye region for infants with cleft palate, while increased visual attention is registered on the mouth region. Increased neural processing of the cleft palate was evident at the N170 and LPP, suggesting differences in configural processing and affective responses to the faces. Infants with cleft palate were also rated significantly less cute than their healthy counterparts (mean difference = .73, p < .001). These results suggest that infants' faces with cleft lip/palate are processed differently at early visual perception. These processing differences may contribute to several important aspects of development (e.g., joint attention) and may play a vital role in the previously observed difficulties in mother-infant interactions.

Mechanical analyses of critical surgical maneuvers in the correction of cleft lip nasal deformity.

Project description:The relapse of nasal deformity is a challenge for modern correction of cleft lip. A comprehensive understanding in the biomechanical perspective of both the formation and correction of the cleft lip nasal deformity would lead to improved stability of the corrective outcome. In this study, a finite element model of secondary cleft lip nasal deformity was constructed, on which two critical corrective maneuvers were mimicked in the form of force-loading. The intercrural suture was simulated by a force loaded at the intermediate crus of the alar cartilage directing anteriorly and medially, and the suture suspending the alar cartilage to the upper lateral cartilage was simulated by a force loaded at the lateral crus directing superiorly and medially. The equivalent von-mises stress and the total deformation consequent to different patterns of loading were captured. Our biomechanical analyses suggested that the intercrural suture at the nasal tip might be more effective in generating widespread morphological change than the suspension suture, but left much higher level of stress within the skin envelope if placed too high. Synergistic effect was observed between the two sutures in both the resultant deformation and stress. In addition, our simulations were partially supported by clinical photogrammetry data.

The Effects of Maternal Mirroring on the Development of Infant Social Expressiveness: The Case of Infant Cleft Lip.

Project description:Parent-infant social interactions start early in development, with infants showing active communicative expressions by just two months. A key question is how this social capacity develops. Maternal mirroring of infant expressions is considered an important, intuitive, parenting response, but evidence is sparse in the first two months concerning the conditions under which mirroring occurs and its developmental sequelae, including in clinical samples where the infant's social expressiveness may be affected. We investigated these questions by comparing the development of mother-infant interactions between a sample where the infant had cleft lip and a normal, unaffected, comparison sample. We videotaped dyads in their homes five times from one to ten weeks and used a microanalytic coding scheme for maternal and infant behaviours, including infant social expressions, and maternal mirroring and marking responses. We also recorded maternal gaze to the infant, using eye-tracking glasses. Although infants with cleft lip did show communicative behaviours, the rate of their development was slower than in comparison infants. This group difference was mediated by a lower rate of mirroring of infant expressions by mothers of infants with cleft lip; this effect was, in turn, partly accounted for by reduced gaze to the infant's mouth, although the clarity of infant social expressions (indexed by cleft severity) and maternal self-blame regarding the cleft were also influential. Results indicate the robustness of parent-infant interactions but also their sensitivity to specific variations in interactants' appearance and behaviour. Parental mirroring appears critical in infant social development, likely supported by the mirror neuron system and underlying clinical and, possibly, cultural differences in infant behaviour. These findings suggest new avenues for clinical intervention.

Genetics of cleft lip and cleft palate.

Project description:Orofacial clefts are common birth defects and can occur as isolated, nonsyndromic events or as part of Mendelian syndromes. There is substantial phenotypic diversity in individuals with these birth defects and their family members: from subclinical phenotypes to associated syndromic features that is mirrored by the many genes that contribute to the etiology of these disorders. Identification of these genes and loci has been the result of decades of research using multiple genetic approaches. Significant progress has been made recently due to advances in sequencing and genotyping technologies, primarily through the use of whole exome sequencing and genome-wide association studies. Future progress will hinge on identifying functional variants, investigation of pathway and other interactions, and inclusion of phenotypic and ethnic diversity in studies.

The nasal cantilever technique in children undergoing primary cleft lip surgery: novel concepts and review.

Project description:BackgroundNasal deformity associated with cleft lip deformity is a challenging issue, encompassing controversies, theories, and a diversity of techniques. Historically, esthetic outcomes have ranged from being below expectations to barely acceptable.MethodBased on the concept that the nasal cartilaginous framework in clefts is similar to that of a collapsing pyramid, a novel suspension technique has been described. The entire cartilaginous structure is lifted from the infratip segment with a loop suture and is secured in a cantilever fashion onto the periosteum overlying the nasal bone. This part of the operation is performed in a semiclosed manner. The technique is applied during primary surgery in bilateral and unilateral nasal cleft lip deformities, with changes in the orientation of the cantilever loop suture. Studies conducted by Masters S. Tajima, H. McComb, H. Thomson, D. Fisher, and J. Mulliken, which are most relevant to this article, have been reviewed and discussed throughout.ResultsThe technique was first applied over 10 years ago. A case series of nine children whose parents consented to the developing technique is presented with follow-up ranging from months to years, along with technical descriptions and illustrative drawings. None of these cases had preoperative orthopedic correction, molding, or postoperative nostril splints. The esthetic outcome was optimal enough; none of the cases requested a secondary correction.ConclusionThe nasal cantilever technique is a novel concept in cleft nasal deformity, which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate lip technique, per the surgeon's discretion. Other than a learning curve, we believe that it provides a solid correction by securing the cartilaginous structures after they have been mobilized to a stable base, the nasion.

A propensity score-adjusted analysis of efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygen during awake tracheal intubation.

Project description:Oxygen supplementation is crucial for awake tracheal intubation (ATI) using a flexible bronchoscope in patients with an anticipated difficult airway. However, the modality of optimal oxygen delivery remains unclear. This retrospective study compared high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) and conventional low-flow oxygen supply during ATI. We applied inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to account for biases due to clinical characteristic differences between the groups. The primary endpoint was the lowest oxygen saturation during ATI. The secondary endpoints were incidence of desaturation, multiple attempts, failure rate, and procedural duration. After IPTW adjustment, the lowest oxygen saturation in the HFNO group during ATI was significantly higher than that in the conventional oxygenation group (99.3 ± 0.2 vs. 97.5 ± 0.5, P < 0.001). Moreover, the HFNO group had fewer cases with multiple attempts than the conventional oxygenation group (3% vs. 16%, P = 0.007). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of desaturation, failure and procedural duration. Our findings suggest that HFNO was associated with improved lowest oxygen saturation and a lower rate of multiple attempts during ATI. Therefore, we recommend using HFNO for safer oxygen delivery and improved quality of procedure during ATI.

Early Follow-up of Parents by a Specialized Cleft Nurse After the Birth of an Infant with Cleft lip and/or Palate.

Project description:ObjectiveTo document the impact of early follow-up by specialized cleft nurses (SCNs) to families of infants with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P).DesignProspective inclusion of a control group, which received standard care alone, followed by an intervention group, which in addition received early SCN follow-up.SettingThe cleft lip and palate team at a University hospital.Participants70 families (69 mothers and 57 fathers); control group (n = 38); intervention group (n = 32).InterventionSCNs offered a consultation at the maternity ward and follow-ups by phone or face-to-face at one, three, eight weeks and six months after birth.Outcome measuresUse of Internet-Questionnaire, Quality of discharge teaching scale (QDTS), Post discharge coping difficulty scale (PDCDS), Response on follow-up by health professionals.ResultsInfants in the intervention group were admitted less frequently to a Neonatal Intensive Care unit (NICU); 21.9% vs 51.4%, P = .012. Parents in the intervention group used internet for cleft-related reasons less frequently (74.6% vs 85.9%), P = .112 and the mothers benefitted less from cleft-related activity on the internet (P = .013). The intervention group reported higher mean score for satisfaction with total cleft care (P = .001). There were no significant group differences regarding mean total score for discharge teaching (P = .315) and coping difficulties (P = .919).ConclusionEarly follow-up by a SCN with expertise in cleft care is highly valued by parents. Closer cooperation between the cleft team and health professionals at birth hospitals and Child health centers is necessary for optimal follow-up.

Cleft lip repair: technical refinements for the wide cleft.

Project description:Clefts of the lip and palate are among the most common congenital malformations. A unilateral deformity is the most common type of cleft, but even within this subgroup there is a great deal of variety due to the accompanying severe distortion of the upper lip, cheek, nose, and maxilla. To repair such a variety of clefts with good aesthetic results, several general incisional approaches should be mastered along with a variety of subtle techniques that improve the end product. The most common repair utilized in America is the Millard rotation-advancement technique. This is partly due to the perceived superiority in results compared with other repairs and the ease with which this repair can be taught to residents. This repair places the scar along an artificial philtral column and is often quite sufficient in small clefts. Unfortunately, adoption of this "one size fits all" approach can limit the arsenal of the surgeon facing the vast array of differing cleft lip deformities. For example, the modified triangular flap, or Tennison-Randall repair, can be of value when presented with the wider unilateral cleft lip. In an effort to not only demonstrate that excellent results can be achieved when incisional patterns (Millard and Tennison) are used appropriately (small versus large clefts), we compared the results of two types of repairs, performed by a single surgeon over a period of 30 years. In addition, a variety of subtle techniques are reviewed to assist in obtaining excellent aesthetic results for any size repair.
