Transcript

  1. Outline • Background • Physiology • Anatomy • Cuffed vs

    Uncuffed ETTs • Syndromes • Planning • Equipment • Questions
  2. Physiology • High metabolic rate • 7-9 mL O2/kg/min •

    Increased MV/FRC ratio • Closing capacity higher in infants • High chest wall compliance, low lung compliance • Infant is an obligate nasal breather • Epiglottis more cephalad • Hagen-Poiseuille’s Law: R = (8ln)/П r4
  3. Pediatric Airway • Large head, short neck, large tongue, narrow

    nasal passages, larynx more cephalad (C4) and anterior, epiglottis long and stiff, trachea short, occiput • More mobile laryngeal structures aid in DL
  4. Cuffed ETTs • Eckenhoff 1951 • Based on cadaveric dissections

    by Bayeux in 1897 • Narrowest portion of the upper airway – level of the cricoid cartilage • “funnel morphing into cylinder”
  5. Cuffed ETTs • Litman et al 2003 • 99 children

    under 14 y/o • Larynx in sedated, unparalyzed children undergoing MRI • More cylindric than funnel-shaped • Narrowest portion at VC • Cricoid lumen is elliptical (greater AP diameter) • Dalal et al 2008, 2009 • 128 children under 13 • Bronchoscope imaging in anesthetized and paralyzed children
  6. Cuffed ETTs • Weiss and Dullenkopf, 2009 • 2246 children

    in 24 centers • Current problems with cuffed ETTs – oversized external diameters, inadequately designed cuffs, cuff overinflation • New cuffed ETT with polurethane cuff • Reliably sealed airway < 20 cm H20 • Decreased exchanges • No increase in post-extubation stridor
  7. Syndromes – Cranial Vault • Craniosynostoses • ~0.6 per 1000

    births • Normal newborn brain allows for rapid growth of brain via unfused sutures and open fontanelles; premature closure results in craniosynostosis • Nonsyndromic (most common ~50% affects only saggital) vs syndromic (~20% of cases) • Hypoplastic midface can lead to challenging mask fit
  8. Syndromes - Craniovertebral • Klippel-Feil • Varying combinations of fusion

    of cervical vertebrae; neck is short, may also be atlantooccipital fusion • Associated with fetal alcohol syndrome, Goldenhar’s (hemifacial microsomia), and anomalies of the extremities • Challenging laryngoscopy/intubation
  9. Syndromes - Face Cleft lip/palate Among most common congenital anomalies,

    ~1/800 25% of cleft lip b/l, and 85% associated with palate Alone, syndrome (>300), sequence (Pierre-Robin) Difficulty with laryngoscopy not uncommon; Grade 3/4 view as high as 4-7%. Difficulty predicted by b/l clefts and retrognathia Can be associated with Pierre- Robin, Treacher-Collins, Goldenhar
  10. Syndromes - Face • Pierre Robin Sequence • Retrognathia, glossoptosis,

    airway obstruction (as many as ¼ will need surgical intervention) • Small mandible results from fixed fetal position in utero that inhibits mandibular growth
  11. Syndromes - Face • Treacher-Collins • Aka mandibulofacial dysostosis •

    Autosomal Dominant, variable penetrance • Mandibular and midface hypoplasia, ear deformities, hearing loss, cleft palate in 1/3 • Airway obstruction
  12. Down’s • ~1 per 600 – 800 live births •

    Hypotonia may affect patency of their upper airway • Obstruction <- relatively large tongue, short neck, and crowded midface and laryngomalacia • Worsened by sedatives and inhalation induction • Increased incidence of subglottic stenosis • Ligamentous laxity of the atlantoaxial joint -> C1/2 subluxation and SCI
  13. Evaluation of the Airway • Preop airway exam – mouth

    opening, dentition, cervical mobility, tongue, retrognathia, micrognathia • Predictors of difficult intubation – mandibular hypoplasia, limited mouth opening, facial asymmetry including ear, stridor, history of OSA Deal with it
  14. Equipment - Ventilation • Cushion-seal face masks • Dead space

    – 50 – 80 cc • Midface hypoplasia – dental rolls between gingiva and buccal mucosa
  15. Equipment - intubation • BURP (Apply your fingers to the

    thyroid or cricoid cartilage. Apply backward pressure and push the cartilage toward the chin. Move it to the patient's right.) • Bimanual laryngoscopy • Wide Flange • Flagg • Wis-hipple • Robertshaw
  16. Rigid Fiberoptic/Video Laryngoscopy • Airtraq – channel for ETT, 4

    sizes (+nasal and DLT), disposable, portable, inexpensive • Storz video – Miller 0 and 1, Miller 3, Mac 2 • Truphatek EVO2 • Glidescope – 0,1,2,2.5
  17. Fiberoptic Bronchoscope • Gold Standard • Ultrathin bronchoscopes can load

    2.5 ETT (Olympus LF-P with diameter of 2.2mm) • Not all have channels for suctioning/insufflation • May have limited tip movement
  18. Ultrasound • Dalesio et al, 2014 • Ultrasound used to

    visualize anatomy in awake 3 y/o • Visualize left VC paresis in awake 10 month old • Direct periglottic steroid injection through cricothyroid membrane in 20 month old under GA for laryngotracheomalacia, confirmed via rigid bronch
  19. Ultrasound • Fiadjoe, 2014 • 14 month old female with

    PFO, ecrodactyly, blindness • DL x 2 poor view, while waiting for video laryngoscope, used ultrasound to visualize VC • Operator performed jaw thrust with one hand, ETT with the other
  20. Take Home Points • Cuffed ETTs are being considered more

    for use in pediatric anesthesia, owing to recent studies • There is no accepted pediatric difficult airway algorithm, though proposed algorithms often mirror the ASA Difficult Airway Algorithm • Few or no prospective studies demonstrate the superiority of certain equipment or techniques over others, though there are many case reports detailing their use
