Obesity causes various difficulties in intubation and ventilation, which are confronted due to increased fat tissue in the upper airway and diminished compliance in the chest wall. Videolaryngoscopes and Intubating Laryngeal Mask Airway (ILMA) are good options as recommended by the American Society of Anesthesologists (ASA) difficult airway guidelines. We aimed to compare ILMA and Airtraq (a channeled videolaryngoscope) in obese patients.
Methods
Eighty patients with ASA physical status I‐III, aged between 18 and 65 years and with a body mass index greater than 35 kg.m‐2, who were undergoing elective surgery requiring orotracheal intubation, were included in the study. Patients were intubated with one of the devices cited.
Results
There was no difference between the number of intubation attempts, insertion times and need for optimisation manoeuvres of Airtraq and ILMA. The intubation with Airtraq was accomplished in a shorter period of time than in that in the ILMA group (29.9 ± 22.1 s vs. 50.7 ± 21.2 s; p < 0.001). A significant difference was found when the times of total intubation were compared (29.9 ± 22.1 s vs. 97.4 ± 42.7 s; p < 0.001). The mean arterial pressure statistically increased after device insertion in the ILMA group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Airtraq appears to be superior to ILMA in obese patients, with a total of time intubation of less than 60 seconds and with low mean arterial pressure changes. However, ILMA is still a useful tool that provides both ventilation and intubation throughout the whole intubation process.
背景:肥胖导致插管和通气的各种困难,这是由于上呼吸道脂肪组织增加和胸壁顺应性降低所导致的。根据美国麻醉医师协会(ASA)困难气道指南的推荐,视频喉镜和插管喉罩气道(ILMA)是很好的选择。我们的目的是比较ILMA和Airtraq(通道式视频喉镜)在肥胖患者中的应用。方法ASA身体状态为I - III的患者80例,年龄在18 ~ 65岁之间,体重指数大于35 kg。M‐2名接受择期手术需要经口气管插管的患者被纳入研究。患者使用上述设备中的一种进行插管。结果Airtraq和ILMA的插管次数、插入次数和优化操作需求无显著差异。Airtraq插管完成时间较ILMA组短(29.9±22.1 s vs 50.7±21.2 s;p & lt;0.001)。两组总插管时间比较差异有统计学意义(29.9±22.1 s vs 97.4±42.7 s;p & lt;0.001)。ILMA组植入器后平均动脉压升高,差异有统计学意义(p <0.05)。结论airtraq在肥胖患者中优于ILMA,总插管时间小于60秒,平均动脉压变化小。然而,ILMA仍然是一个有用的工具,在整个插管过程中提供通气和插管。

The prediction of difficult laryngoscopy is based on tests that assess anatomic characteristics of face and neck. We aimed to identify the most accurate tests and propose a multivariate predictive model.
Methods
This prospective observational study included 1134 patients. Thyromental Distance (TMD), Sternomental Distance (STMD), Ratio of Height‐to‐Thyromental Distance (R‐H/TMD), Neck Circumference (NC), Ratio of Neck Circumference‐to‐Thyromental Distance (R‐NC/TMD), Hyomental Distance with head in Neutral Position (HMD‐NP) and at Maximal Extension (HMD‐HE), Ratio of Hyomental Distance at Maximal head extension‐to‐hyomental distance in neutral position (R‐HMD), Mallampati Class (MLC), Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT), Mouth Opening (MO) and Head Extension (HE) were assessed preoperatively. A Cormack‐Lehane Grade ≥ 3 was defined as Difficult Laryngoscopy. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were assessed for all tests. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was used to create the predictive models.
Results
A model incorporating MLC, ULBT, HE, HMD‐HE and R‐NC/TMD showed high prognostic accuracy; x2(5) = 109.12, p < 0.001, AUC = 0.86, p < 0.001). Its sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value were 82.3%, 74.8% and 97.4%, respectively. A second model including two measurements not requiring patient's cooperation (R‐NC/TMD and HMD‐HE) exhibited good prognostic performance; x2(2) = 63.5, p < 0.001, AUC = 0.77, p < 0.001. Among single tests, HE had the highest sensitivity (78.5%) and negative predictive value (96%).
Conclusions
A five‐variable model incorporating MLC, ULBT, HE, HMD‐HE and R‐NC/TMD showed satisfyingly high predictive value for difficult laryngoscopy. A model including R‐NC/TMD and HMD‐HE could be useful in incapable patients. The most accurate single predictor was HE.
背景和目的对喉镜检查困难的预测是基于对面部和颈部解剖特征的评估。我们的目的是确定最准确的测试,并提出一个多变量预测模型。方法前瞻性观察研究纳入1134例患者。甲状腺距离(TMD)、胸骨距离(STMD)、身高与甲状腺距离之比(R‐H/TMD)、颈围(NC)、颈围与甲状腺距离之比(R‐NC/TMD)、头部处于中性位置时的眼神经距离(HMD‐NP)和最大伸展时的眼神经距离(HMD‐HE)、头部处于最大伸展时的眼神经距离与中性位置时的眼神经距离之比(R‐HMD)、Mallampati分级(MLC)、上唇咬合测试(ULBT)、术前评估开口(MO)和头伸(HE)。Cormack‐Lehane分级≥3定义为喉镜检查困难。对所有试验的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值进行评估。采用logistic回归多变量分析建立预测模型。结果结合MLC、ULBT、HE、HMD‐HE和R‐NC/TMD的sa模型具有较高的预后准确性;X2 (5) = 109.12, p <0.001, AUC = 0.86, p <0.001)。其敏感性为82.3%,特异性为74.8%,阴性预测值为97.4%。第二个模型包括两项不需要患者配合的测量(R‐NC/TMD和HMD‐HE)显示出良好的预后表现;X2 (2) = 63.5, p <0.001, AUC = 0.77, p <0.001. 在单项检测中,HE的敏感性最高(78.5%),阴性预测值最高(96%)。结论MLC、ULBT、HE、HMD - HE和R - NC/TMD组成的五变量模型对困难喉镜检查具有较高的预测价值。包括R‐NC/TMD和HMD‐HE的模型可用于无能力患者。最准确的单一预测因子是HE。

Objective
This study aimed to investigate the impact of post‐thoracotomy analgesia with dexmedetomidine and morphine on immunocytes.
Methods
A total of 118 patients with post‐thoracotomy Patient‐Controlled Intravenous Analgesia (PCIA) in our hospital from March 2016 to July 2018 were randomly selected and divided into the Composite (COM) Group (57 patients administered with dexmedetomidine [1.0 μg.kg‐1 body weight] and morphine [0.48 mg.kg‐1 body weight]) and the Morphine (MOR) Group (61 patients administered with morphine [0.48 mg.kg‐1]). The values of lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+) and Natural Killer cells in the peripheral blood of these two groups were detected by FACSCalibur flow cytometry at different time points (before anesthesia induction [T0], immediately after tracheal extubation [T1], 12 hours after surgery [T2], 24 hours after surgery [T3], 48 hours after surgery [T4], 72 hours after surgery [T5], and 7 days after surgery [T6]). The doses of morphine at T3 to T5 and the adverse reactions between the two groups were also recorded and compared.
Results
The CD3+ level and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio at T2 to T5 and the CD4+ level and NK cells at T3 to T5 were significantly higher in the COM Group than in the MOR Group (p< 0.05). The postoperative morphine dose and the incidence of postoperative itching, nausea, and vomiting were significantly lower in the COM Group than in the MOR Group (p< 0.05).
Conclusions
Dexmedetomidine combined with morphine for post‐thoracotomy PCIA can improve the function of immunocytes, reduce morphine consumption, and reduce the adverse reactions during analgesia induction.

Background
Failure of ductus arteriosus closure in preterm neonates results in a left‐to‐right shunt that leads to variable severities of hemodynamic and respiratory distress. When medical therapy fails, surgical ligation via left lateral thoracotomy remains an alternative approach and can be performed in the operating room or at the bedside with a low mortality rate. Opioid‐based anesthesia is a frequent choice among anesthesiologists who manage patent ductus arteriosus cases based on the suppression of the stress response and maintenance of hemodynamic stability. This rationale suggests that regional anesthesia may also be an advantageous technique and may benefit earlier weaning from ventilation. Blocking afferent signals before incision may also modulate the long‐term consequences of altered sensory perception and pain responses.
Case report
We present two cases of general anesthesia combined with erector spinae plane block as part of multimodal anesthesia in premature twins undergoing patent ductus arteriosus closure.
Discussion
In these cases, the use of erector spinae plane block combined with general anesthesia was efficient to minimize the negative impact of surgery and allowed a reduction in the amount of intraoperative opioid use for patent ductus arteriosus closure.

Introduction
Currently, transesophageal echodopplercardiography (TEE) is frequently performed under sedation on an outpatient basis. Sedation is related with increase in incidents on airways. Bearing in mind this scenario, we developed a new double lumen oropharyngeal cannula aimed at keeping airway patency, in addition to reducing risks to patients during endoscopy procedures performed under sedation. The main objective of our study was to assess the incidence of oxygen desaturation in a series of cases of adult patients submitted to outpatient TEE exam, under sedation and using the oropharyngeal cannula.
Method
Thirty patients under sedation with intravenous midazolam and propofol were assessed. After loss of consciousness, the cannula was placed and patients were maintained on spontaneous breathing. Oxygen saturation, capnometry, heart rate and non‐invasive arterial blood pressure, in addition to subjective data: airway patency, handling of cannula insertion, and comfort of examiner were analyzed.
Results
The incidence of mild desaturation was 23.3%, and there was no severe desaturation in any of the cases. The insertion of the oropharyngeal cannula was considered easy for 29 patients (96.6%), and TEE probe handling was appropriate in 93.33% of exams performed.
Conclusions
TEE exams under sedation aided by the double‐lumen oropharyngeal cannula presented a low incidence of desaturation in patients assessed, and allowed analysis of expired CO2 during the exams.

Background
Veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an established therapy for patients with refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). One complication related to the use of veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is thrombosis despite proper anticoagulation. We report the diagnosis and management of a clot‐obstruction in a single site cannula placed through the internal jugular vein, guided by transesophageal echocardiography.
Case report
A 39 year‐old male developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and hemodynamic instability after an episode of pulmonary aspiration in the ICU. Eight hours after placement of a single site veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, suddenly the perfusionist noticed a reduction in flow. TEE showed a thrombus‐like mass obstructing the inflow port in SVC and inflow at IVC was intact. After unsuccessful attempts to reposition the cannula, the team decided to insert additional femoral inflow cannula through the IVC. The single site catheter was then pulled out until its tip was positioned in the right atrium and all three ports of the catheter were switched to the infusion ports. After this, flows and oxygenation improved significantly. Unfortunately, despite all of the efforts, the patient died 2 days later.
Discussion
The diagnosis of veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannula obstruction is based on reduced inflow rates, hemodynamic instability and poor oxygenation of blood. TEE allows evaluation of the flows inside the cannula and in this case, an obstruction was found. The management presented points to the fact that in a situation of catheter obstruction caused by a clot, there is a feasible alternative to assure minimal interruption of the hemodynamic support offered by the veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
