Summary:
Aims and Objectives
รผ
To compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure
(OPLP) between blind insertion and Miller laryngoscope-guided insertion of
the LMA Blockbuster® in children aged 1-4 years undergoing elective surgery.
รผ
To evaluate secondary outcomes, including the
number of insertion attempts, haemodynamic disturbances, insertion time, and
airway complications associated with both insertion techniques.
รผ
The authors hypothesized that under-vision
insertion of the LMA Blockbuster® using a Miller laryngoscope would result
in higher OPLP compared to the traditional blind insertion technique.
Methods:
ร
Double-blinded, randomised controlled
trial conducted between January 2023 and June 2023.
ร
100 pediatric patients aged 1-4 years, with ASA
physical status I and II, weighing between 7 and 20 kg, scheduled for elective
below-umbilicus surgical procedures were included.
ร
Patients were randomly allocated to one of two
groups:
Group A: Blind insertion of LMA Blockbuster®.
Group B: Miller laryngoscope-guided insertion of LMA Blockbuster®.
ร
Standard anaesthesia procedures were followed,
and vital signs (HR, MAP, SpO2) were continuously monitored.
ร
OPLP was measured by closing the expiratory
valve of the circle system and recording the airway pressure at which an
audible air leak was detected.
Postoperative complications such as injury to the tongue, dental trauma,
laryngospasm, and blood on the device were noted.
ร
Statistical analyses were performed using
appropriate tests, with a significance level set at P < 0.05
Results:
ร
Significantly higher mean OPLP was observed in Group
B (Miller laryngoscope-guided insertion) compared to Group A (blind insertion):
27.9 (SD: 1.58) cmH2O vs. 25.94 (SD: 0.63) cmH2O (P < 0.001)
ร
Mean insertion time was longer in Group B, but
the difference was not considered clinically relevant.
ร
First-attempt insertion success, haemodynamic
stability, and postoperative complications were comparable between the two
groups (P > 0.05).
The
study concluded that Miller laryngoscope-guided insertion of the LMA
Blockbuster® in pediatric patients results in improved alignment with
epiglottic structures and a significantly higher OPLP than blind insertion.1
This technique can potentially enhance airway management's safety and
effectiveness in pediatric anaesthesia.
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Bridging the pain gap after cancer surgery – Evaluating the feasibility of transitional pain service to prevent persistent postsurgical pain – A systematic review and meta-analysis
Thota, Raghu S.; Ramkiran, S; Jayant, Aveek; Kumar Koilada Shiv; Wajekar, Anjana; Iyer, Sadasivan; Ashwini, M
Indian Journal of Anaesthesia 68(10):p 861-874, October 2024. | DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_405_24
Key points:
The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the feasibility of Transitional Pain Service (TPS) in preventing persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) after cancer surgery.
●
The study found that TPS interventions carried out by multidisciplinary teams incorporating bio-physical-psychological pain interventions have been successfully implemented, resulting in improved pain-related patient outcomes and mitigating the occurrence of PPSP.
●
A meta-analysis of 14 studies revealed a lack of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of TPS in preventing PPSP and pain catastrophising, leading to an analysis of its feasibility by meta-regression.
●
The analysis showed that studies with smaller sample sizes reported higher feasibility rates of TPS pain-related interventions among patients compared to studies with larger sample sizes.
●
The authors suggest that TPS could help bridge the gap between acute pain services (APSs) and chronic pain services, providing a continuum of care for postsurgical patients and potentially reducing the burden of PPSP on pain clinics.
●
The study also highlighted the importance of considering qualitative pain-related patient outcomes, such as quality of recovery, patient satisfaction, quality of life, and return to baseline daily routine activities, as TPS quality indicators.
