RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Postoperative sore throat is one of the main postoperative complaints in patients undergoing tonsillectomy. As the primary outcome, we aimed to determine whether endotracheal tube cuffs filled with alkalinized lidocaine are associated with a lower incidence of postoperative sore throat and anesthesia emergence phenomena in children undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy. We also assessed the potential additional benefits of IV dexamethasone in reducing postoperative laryngotracheal morbidity. METHODS: This is a clinical prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Patients were randomly allocated to one of four groups, as follows: air - endotracheal tube cuff filled with air; air/dex - endotracheal tube cuff filled with air and intravenous dexamethasone; lido - endotracheal tube cuff filled with alkalinized lidocaine; and lido/dex - endotracheal tube cuff filled with alkalinized lidocaine and intravenous dexamethasone. Perioperative hemodynamic parameters and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, coughing and hoarseness were recorded. Postoperative sore throat was assessed in the postanesthetic care unit and 24 hours post tracheal extubation. RESULTS: In total, 154 children aged 4-12 years, ASA physical status I or II, undergoing general anesthesia for elective tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy, were assessed for postoperative sore throat in this study. The incidence of postoperative sore throat 24 hours after tracheal extubation was significantly lower in the lido/dex group compared to groups air and air/dex (p = 0.01). However, no additional reduction in these symptoms was observed from the intravenous administration of dexamethasone when comparing the lido and lido/dex groups. Similarly, there were no differences among groups regarding perioperative hemodynamic variables or postoperative nausea and vomiting, coughing, and hoarseness during the study period. CONCLUSION: Intracuff alkalinized lidocaine, associated with intravenous dexamethasone, might be effective in reducing sore throat 24 hours post-tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy in children when compared to the use of air as the cuff insufflation media.

RESUMO

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of an in-house low-cost tracheostomy tube impregnated with chlorhexidine and violet crystal. The impregnated tracheostomy tubes demonstrated antimicrobial activity, including for multidrug-resistant bacteria. Fourteen patients were evaluated. During ventilation, VAP occurred in one patient in the coated group and in three patients in the control group (p=0.28). A reduction of biofilm cells was observed. This study provides preliminary evidence to support that the antiseptic impregnation of a tracheostomy tube provides significant antimicrobial activity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether initial epinephrine administration by endotracheal tube (ET) in newly born infants receiving chest compressions and epinephrine in the delivery room (DR) is associated with lower rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) than newborns receiving initial intravenous (IV) epinephrine. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective review of neonates receiving chest compressions and epinephrine in the DR from the AHA Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry from October 2013 through July 2020. Neonates were classified according to initial route of epinephrine (ET vs IV). The primary outcome of interest was ROSC in the DR. RESULTS: In total, 408 infants met inclusion criteria; of these, 281 (68.9%) received initial ET epinephrine and 127 (31.1%) received initial IV epinephrine. The initial ET epinephrine group included those infants who also received subsequent IV epinephrine when ET epinephrine failed to achieve ROSC. Comparing initial ET with initial IV epinephrine, ROSC was achieved in 70.1% vs 58.3% (adjusted risk difference 10.02; 95% CI 0.05-19.99). ROSC was achieved in 58.3% with IV epinephrine alone, and 47.0% with ET epinephrine alone, with 40.0% receiving subsequent IV epinephrine. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that initial use of ET epinephrine is reasonable during DR resuscitation, as there were greater rates of ROSC compared with initial IV epinephrine administration. However, administration of IV epinephrine should not be delayed in those infants not responding to initial ET epinephrine, as almost one-half of infants who received initial ET epinephrine subsequently received IV epinephrine before achieving ROSC.

RESUMO

Introducción. Las cardiopatías congénitas (CC) en Chile corresponden a la segunda causa de muerte en menores de 1 año, requiriendo cirugías paliativas y/o correctivas el 65% de estas. En el post operatorio frecuentemente se utiliza ventilación mecánica invasiva (VM) y succión endotraqueal (SET) para remover secreciones. Sin embargo, la kinesiología respiratoria (KTR) ha mostrado mejoras significativas en la distensibilidad toracopulmonar (Cest) y resistencia de vía aérea (Rva) en otros grupos de usuarios pediátricos y adultos en VM. Objetivo. Comparar los cambios en la Cest y Rva en usuarios pediátricos en VM post cirugía de cardiopatía congénita (CCC) sometidos a KTR versus SET exclusiva. Métodos. Revisión sistemática de estudios publicados en bases de datos PUBMED, PeDro, Scielo y Google Scholar que comparan el uso de KTR ó SET sobre los cambios en mecánica ventilatoria en usuarios pediátricos en VM post cirugía de cardiopatía congénita, limitados a inglés, español y portugués, excluyendo a sujetos con traqueostomía o con oxigenación por membrana extracorpórea. Se utilizó guía PRISMA para la selección de artículos. Se revisaron 397 artículos y se seleccionó 1 artículo extra de los artículos sugeridos. Se eliminó 1 artículo por duplicidad. Por títulos y resúmenes se seleccionaron 2 artículos, los cuales al leer el texto completo fueron retirados debido a que la población no correspondía a cardiópatas. Resultados. El final de artículos seleccionados fue de 0 artículos, debido a lo cual se removió el operador Booleano "NOT", y se removió la población de cardiopatías. De este modo quedaron 2 artículos seleccionados para la revisión cualitativa final donde se compara KTR versus SET, y KTR en kinesiólogos especialistas y no especialistas, mostrando ambos aumento en la Cest y disminución de la Rva a favor de la KTR, hasta los 30 minutos post intervención. Conclusiones. No se encontraron artículos que demuestren cambios en Cest y Rva con el uso de KTR + SET versus SET exclusiva, en usuarios pediátricos ventilados posterior a CCC. Con la remoción de filtros seleccionamos 2 artículos que demuestran aumento de Cest y disminución de Rva en sujetos pediátricos en VM, uno comparando con SET, y por grupos de especialistas y no especialistas en respiratorio. Se sugieren estudios primarios para evaluar los efectos de esta intervención en esta población.


Introduction. Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are the second general cause for children death under 1 year. In Chile, approximately 65% CHD need surgery, could was palliative or corrective. In the postoperative period, invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is frequently used as a life support method, but it is associated with complications. Tracheal suction (SET) is regularly used to remove secretions; however, respiratory chest physiotherapy (KTR) has shown significant improvements in thoraco-pulmonary compliance and airway resistance in other groups of pediatrics and adult's users in MV. Objetive. to compare changes in thoraco-pulmonary compliance and airway resistance in pediatric subjects under mechanical ventilation after congenital heart disease surgery comparing chest physiotherapy and exclusive tracheal suction. Methods. systematic review of studies published in PUBMED, PeDro, Scielo and Google Scholar databases who compares KTR or SET use on changes in ventilatory mechanics in pediatric users under MV after congenital heart disease surgery, limited to English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, excluding user with tracheostomy or extracorporeal membrane of oxygenation. It was use the PRISMA guide to articles selection. A search was carried out, with a total of 397 articles reviewed (English: PubMed = 3, PeDro = 8, Scholar = 383; Spanish: Scholar = 3, Scielo = 0; and Portuguese: Scielo = 0). One extra article was selected from the suggested articles, and 1 article was eliminated due to duplication. By titles and abstracts, 2 articles were selected, but the population did not correspond to heart disease. Results. the final selected articles were 0 articles. By this reason, it were removed: Boolean operator "NOT", and congenital heart disease population. Thus, 2 articles were selected for the final qualitative review where it was compares KTR versus SET, and KTR by specialist and non-specialist. Both articles shown improvement in compliance and resistance until 30 minutes post intervention. The CC population was in a 40 to 60% range in both studies. Conclusions. it was no found articles that demonstrate changes in compliance and resistance in the airway with the use of KTR + SET versus exclusive SET in pediatric users after CCC connected to MV. After filter remotion, we found 2 studies shown improves in increase compliance and reduce resistance in pediatric user in MV, ones comparing with SET, and the other one comparing between specialists in respiratory pediatric physiotherapy and not specialists. It suggests to made primary clinical studies about this intervention in CC population.

RESUMO

Introducción: El síndrome respiratorio agudo severo coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), de alta morbimortalidad, carece a la fecha de preparar esta revisión, de una terapia específica altamente eficaz. Famotidina se ha postulado como una opción terapéutica viable, basado en trabajos de cohorte retrospectiva y modelos computacionales guiados por inteligencia artificial. Objetivo: Recopilar la mejor evidencia científica disponible para determinar la efectividad y eficacia de famotidina en el tratamiento de pacientes hospitalizados con COVID-19, para reducir el riesgo de progresión de la enfermedad, intubación, muerte y tiempo de estancia hospitalaria. Material y Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science y Cochrane Central, de artículos originales que reporten las variables de interés asociadas al uso de famotidina en pacientes hospitalizados con COVID- 19. Los investigadores independientemente evaluaron y seleccionaron los estudios, se extrajeron los datos expuestos para las asociaciones de interés y se procesaron con el software Revman 5.3. Resultados: En la búsqueda se obtuvo un total de 126 artículos potenciales para la revisión, de los cuales 14 fueron seleccionados para el análisis. En el metaanálisis se incluyeron un total de 47.044 pacientes, de los cuales 6.647 fueron los usuarios de famotidina. El riesgo de intubación se vio reducido en el grupo no expuesto a famotidina, aunque sin significancia estadística, (RR 1,43 IC95% 0,42-4,83), en cuanto a la mortalidad no se evidenció reducción significativa en el grupo de famotidina (RR 0,95 IC 95% 0,70-1,29). Se observó reducción en el tiempo de estancia hospitalaria (DM -1,60 -2,89, -0,31) y finalmente se mostró que no hay presencia de asociación entre el uso de famotidina y el desenlace compuesto de reducción del riesgo de ingreso a UCI, intubación y muerte (RR 1,03 IC 95% 0,46-2,34). Conclusión: Famotidina no presenta efectividad ni eficacia en la reducción de riesgo de intubación o ingreso a UCI ni de mortalidad en pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19. La eficacia en la reducción de la estancia hospitalaria no es consistente y se necesitan más ensayos clínicos con buena calidad metodológica para definirla.


Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with high morbidity and mortality, lacks, at the time of preparing this review, a highly effective specific therapy. Famotidine has been postulated as a viable therapeutic option, based on retrospective cohort investigations and computational models guided by artificial intelligence. Aim: The objective of this study was to compile the best scientific evidence available to determine the effectiveness and efficacy of famotidine in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, to reduce the risk of disease progression, intubation, death, and time to hospital stay. Methods: A search was carried out in PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, and Central Cochrane, for original articles that report the variables of interest associated with the use of famotidine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The investigators independently evaluated and selected the studies, the exposed data for the associations of interest were extracted and processed with Revman 5.3 software. Results: The search yielded a total of 126 potential articles for the review, of which 14 were selected for analysis. A total of 47,044 patients were included in the meta-analysis of which 6,647 were famotidine users. The risk of intubation was reduced in the group not exposed to famotidine, although without statistical significance (RR 1.43 IC95% 0.42 - 4.83), regarding mortality there was no significant reduction in the famotidine group (RR 0.95 IC 95 % 0.70-1.29). A reduction in the length of hospital stay was observed (MD -1.60 -2.89, -0.31) and finally it was shown that there is no association between the use of famotidine and the composite outcome of reduced risk of ICU admission, intubation and death. (RR 1.03 95% CI 0.46-2.34). Conclusion: Famotidine does not show effectiveness or efficacy in reducing the risk of intubation or ICU admission or mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The efficacy in reducing hospital stay is not consistent and more clinical trials with good methodological quality are needed to define it.

RESUMO

Despite the excellent properties of silicone endotracheal prostheses, their main limitation is the formation of a polymicrobial biofilm on their surfaces. It can cause local inflammation, interfering with the local healing process and leading to further complications in the clinical scenario. The present study evaluated the inhibitory effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on multispecies biofilms grown on the silicone protheses' surfaces. In addition to silicone characterization before and after CAP exposure, CAP cytotoxicity on immortalized human bronchial epithelium cell line (BEAS-2B) was evaluated. The aging time test reported that CAP could temporarily change the silicone surface wetting characteristics from hydrophilic (80.5°) to highly hydrophilic (<5°). ATR-FTIR showed no significant alterations in the silicone surficial chemical composition after CAP exposure for 5 min. A significant log reduction in viable cells in monospecies biofilms (log CFU/mL) of C. albicans, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa (0.636, 0.738, and 1.445, respectively) was detected after CAP exposure. Multispecies biofilms exposed to CAP showed significant viability reduction for C. albicans and S. aureus (1.385 and 0.831, respectively). The protocol was not cytotoxic to BEAS-2B. CAP can be a simple and effective method to delay multispecies biofilm formation inside the endotracheal prosthesis.

RESUMO

Objectives: This pilot study aimed to identify and test a battery of time-efficient and cost-effective voice and swallowing screening tools for post-extubated patients in Chile. Methods: A panel of four experts selected and rated voice and swallowing screening tools. Seven measures were selected: smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS) and maximum phonation time (MPT) for voice assessment, Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (V-VST) for swallowing, voluntary and reflex peak cough flow for cough assessment, Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), and Vocal Symptom Scale (VoiSS) for patient-reported outcomes. These tools were applied to four post-extubation patients within 48-72 hours post-hospital discharge, alongside the assessment of 17 matched controls. Results: Post-extubation patients showed significantly shorter MPT, lower CPPS values, increased V-VST dysphagia signs, reduced voluntary peak cough flow, and more pronounced symptoms on both the VoiSS and EAT-10 compared to controls. Limitations: The study had a modest sample size and relied solely on clinical screening tools. Value: This pilot study suggests a feasible and cost-effective approach to voice and swallowing screening for post-extubation patients, valuable in resource-constrained settings. Conclusion: While these accessible tools are not gold-standard assessments, they offer valuable insights and can guide future research. This study underscores the potential of selected tools in facilitating early detection of voice and swallowing disorders in post-extubation patients.


Objetivos: Este estudio piloto tuvo como objetivo identificar y probar una batería de herramientas de detección de problemas de voz y deglución que fueran eficientes en cuanto a tiempo y costo para pacientes chilenos postextubados. Métodos: Un panel de cuatro expertos seleccionó y evaluó herramientas de detección de voz y deglución. Se seleccionaron siete medidas: prominencia de pico cepstral suavizado (CPPS) y tiempo máximo de fonación (TMF) para la evaluación de la voz, prueba de volumen-viscosidad (V-VST) para la deglución, flujo máximo voluntario y reflejo de la tos para evaluar la tos, Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) y la Escala de Sintomas Vocales (ESV) para los resultados informados por los pacientes. Estas herramientas se aplicaron a cuatro pacientes postextubados (48-72 horas), junto con la evaluación de 17 controles pareados. Resultados: Los pacientes postextubados mostraron un TMF y CPPS significativamente más bajos, aumento de los indicios de disfagia en la V-VST, reducción del flujo máximo de la tos y síntomas más pronunciados tanto en la ESV como en la EAT-10 en comparación con los controles. Limitaciones: El estudio tuvo un tamaño de muestra reducida y se basó únicamente en herramientas de detección clínica. Valor: Este estudio piloto sugiere un enfoque factible y rentable para la detección de problemas de voz y deglución en pacientes postextubados, valioso en entornos con recursos limitados. Conclusión: Aunque ese abordaje no sustituye a las evaluaciones de referencia, ofrece información valiosa y puede guiar futuras investigaciones que busquen facilitar la detección temprana de los trastornos de la voz-deglución en pacientes postextubados.

RESUMO

Resumen: A través de los siglos hemos descubierto la importancia de mantener permeable y segura la vía aérea. Desde Hipócrates en la antigua Grecia, hasta el siglo XX en oriente y occidente, se ha continuado con el desarrollo de herramientas que faciliten esta cotidiana tarea por lo que, con esta revisión sistemática, se establecieron como objetivos exponer el origen y los antecedentes del tubo endotraqueal, cánula orofaríngea y laringoscopio, así como discutir su utilidad en la práctica anestésica-quirúrgica, a través del tiempo hasta hoy en día.


Abstract: Over the centuries, we have discovered the importance of preserving a safe permeable airway. From Hippocrates in ancient Greece to the 20th century in the East and West, the development of multiple tools that enable this task continues through time, which is why with this systematic review we aim to uncover the origin and historical background of the endotracheal tube, the oropharyngeal cannula and the laryngoscope, discussing their effectiveness in the anesthetic-surgical practice over years to the present day.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The main functions of the endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff are to prevent aspiration and to allow pressurization of the respiratory system. For this purpose, it is essential to maintain adequate pressure inside the cuff, thus reducing the risks for the patient. It is regularly checked using a manometer and is considered the best alternative. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cuff pressure behavior of different ETTs during the simulation of an inflation maneuver using different manometers. METHODS: A bench study was performed. Four brands of 8-mm internal diameter single lumen with a Murphy eye ETT with cuff and 3 different brands of manometers were used. In addition, a pulmonary mechanics monitor was connected to the inside of the cuff through the body of the distal end of the ETT. RESULTS: A total of 528 measurements were made on the 4 ETTs. During the complete procedure (connection and disconnection), there was a significant pressure drop of 7 ± 1.4 cm H2O from the initial pressure (Pinitial) (P < .001), of which 6 ± 1.4 cm H2O was lost during connection (difference between Pinitial and Pconnection). The Preconnection value was 19.1 ± 1.6 cm H2O, showing a significant total pressure drop of 11 ± 1.6 cm H2O (difference between Pinitial and Preconnection) (P < .001). The Pfinal mean was 29.6 ± 1.3 cm H2O. Significant differences were found between manometers according to the time of measurement. A similar phenomenon was evidenced when analyzing different ETTs. CONCLUSIONS: Significant pressure changes occur secondary to ETT cuff measurement, which has important implications for patient safety.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed at comparing the effects of cylindrical- and conical-cuff endotracheal tubes (ETTs) inflated with saline on cuff pressures, post-operative sore throat, and post-operative analgesic consumption in surgeries taking longer than 120 min. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at comparing the effects of cylindrical- and conical-cuff endotracheal tubes (ETTs) inflated with saline on cuff pressures, post-operative sore throat, and post-operative analgesic consumption in surgeries taking longer than 120 min. METHODS: The study was performed on a total of 100 patients, aged 18-65 years, in the ASA I-III risk group, with cylindrical cuff (Group C, n = 50) and conical cuff (Group T, n = 50) ETT patients. Cuff pressure values of all patients were recorded. RESULTS: The cuff pressure values at all measurement times and maximum cuff pressure value were significantly lower in Group T than in Group C (p < 0.05). In the post-operative 24-h period, sore throat and total analgesic consumption were significantly lower in Group T than in Group C (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: conical cuff ETTs prevent the increase in intraoperative cuff pressures, reduce the incidence of post-operative sore throat, and accordingly reduce post-operative analgesic consumption compared to cylindrical cuff ETTs.


ANTECEDENTES: El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los efectos de los tubos endotraqueales (ETT) de manguito cilíndrico y cónico inflados con solución salina sobre las presiones del manguito, el dolor de garganta postoperatorio y el consumo de analgésicos postoperatorios en cirugías de más de 120 min de duración. OBJETIVO: Comparar los efectos de los tubos endotraqueales de manguito cilíndrico y cónico inflados con solución salina sobre las presiones del manguito, el dolor de garganta posoperatorio y el consumo de analgésicos posoperatorios en cirugías de más de 120 minutos de duración. MÉTODO: El estudio se realizó en 100 pacientes con edades entre 18 y 65 años, con riesgo ASA I-III, con tubo endotraqueal de manguito cilíndrico (grupo C, n = 50) o manguito cónico (grupo T, n = 50). RESULTADOS: Los valores de presión del manguito en todos los tiempos de medición y el valor máximo de presión del manguito fueron significativamente más bajos en el grupo T que en el grupo C (p < 0.05). En el período de 24 horas del posoperatorio, el dolor de garganta y el consumo total de analgésicos fueron significativamente menores en el grupo T que en el grupo C (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONES: Los tubos endotraqueales de manguito cónico previenen el aumento de las presiones intraoperatorias del manguito, reducen la incidencia de dolor de garganta posoperatorio y, en consecuencia, disminuyen el consumo de analgésicos posoperatorios en comparación con los de manguito cilíndrico.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Awake fiberoptic tracheal intubation is an established method of securing difficult airways, but there are some reservations about its use because many practitioners find it technically complicated, time-consuming, and unpleasant for patients. Our main goal was to test the safety and efficacy of a 300-mm working length fiberscope (video rhino-laryngoscope) when used for awake nasotracheal intubation in difficult airway cases. METHODS: This was a prospective, single-center study involving adult patients, having an ASA physical status between I and IV, with laryngopharyngeal pathology causing distorted airway anatomy. Awake nasotracheal intubation, using topical anesthesia and light sedation, was performed using a 300 mm long and 2.9 mm diameter fiberscope equipped with a lubricated reinforced endotracheal tube. The primary outcomes were the success and duration of the procedure. Patients' periprocedural satisfaction and other incidents were recorded. RESULTS: We successfully intubated all 25 patients included in this study. The mean ±SD duration of the procedure, starting from the passage of the intubating tube through one of the nostrils until the endotracheal intubation, was 76 ± 36 seconds. Most of the patients showed no discomfort during the procedure with statistical significance between the No reaction Group with the Slight grimacing Group (95%CI 0.13, 0.53, p = 0.047) and the Heavy grimacing Group (95%CI 0.05, 0.83, p = 0.003). The mean ±SD satisfaction score 24 hours post-intervention was 1.8 ± 0.86 - mild discomfort. No significant incidents occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that a 300-mm working length flexible endoscope is fast, safe, and well-tolerated for nasotracheal awake intubation under challenging airways.

The mean ±SD satisfaction score 24 hours post-intervention was 1.8 ± 0.86 - mild discomfort. No significant incidents occurred. Conclusions: Our study showed that a 300-mm working length flexible endoscope is fast, safe, and well-tolerated for nasotracheal awake intubation under challenging airways.

RESUMO

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Las mujeres embarazadas e infectadas con SARS-CoV-2 tuvieron 2.9 veces más probabilidad de requerir ventilación invasiva. La colecistitis aguda es la segunda indicación quirúrgica más común en el embarazo. En la búsqueda bibliográfica no se encontraron reportes de concomitancia de ambas enfermedades durante el embarazo, por este motivo se publica el reporte de caso clínico y se revisa la bibliografía. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 32 años, en curso de las 23 semanas de embarazo. Debido a síntomas de COVID-19, con prueba PCR positiva, se hospitalizó para inicio de ventilación mecánica invasiva. Al noveno día de internamiento tuvo elevación de transaminasas y reporte de TAC de colecistitis aguda alitiásica. Se le indicó la colecistostomía percutánea, con la que se alivió el cuadro hepatobiliar. En el segundo tiempo quirúrgico se procedió a la cesárea. Tres días después experimentó mejoría ventilatoria y bioquímica gradual. A los 32 días de hospitalización se logró la intubación y, después de 54 días, se dio de alta del hospital, sin requerimiento de oxígeno suplementario. CONCLUSIONES: Encontrar, en conjunto con el síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda por COVID-19 grave que requiere ventilación mecánica invasiva, embarazo previable y colecistitis alitiásica pone en grave peligro a la embarazada y al equipo médico en múltiples dilemas médicos, quirúrgicos y bioéticos. La colecistostomía percutánea en pacientes con inestabilidad hemodinámica y la finalización del embarazo en caso de deterioro ventilatorio ante síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda es una opción controvertida. Lo conducente, sin duda, son los procedimientos basados en evidencia y las sesiones multidisciplinarias, incluyendo a la familia.


Abstract BACKGROUND: Pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 were 2.9 times more likely to require invasive ventilation. Acute cholecystitis is the second most common surgical indication in pregnancy. In the literature search, no reports of concomitance of both diseases during pregnancy were found, for this reason the clinical case report is published and the literature is reviewed. CASE REPORT: 32-year-old female patient, in the course of 23 weeks of pregnancy. Due to symptoms of COVID-19, with positive PCR test, she was hospitalized for initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation. On the ninth day of hospitalization, she had elevated transaminases and CT report of acute cholecystitis alliasis. Percutaneous cholecystostomy was indicated, which relieved the hepatobiliary symptoms. In the second surgical stage, a cesarean section was performed. Three days later she experienced gradual ventilatory and biochemical improvement. After 32 days of hospitalization, intubation was achieved and, after 54 days, she was discharged from the hospital, without requiring supplemental oxygen. CONCLUSIONS: Finding, in conjunction with severe COVID-19 acute respiratory failure syndrome requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, pre-viable pregnancy, alliasic cholecystitis, places the pregnant woman and the medical team in serious medical, surgical, and bioethical dilemmas. Percutaneous cholecystostomy in patients with hemodynamic instability and termination of pregnancy in case of ventilatory deterioration in the face of acute respiratory failure syndrome is a controversial option. Evidence-based procedures and multidisciplinary sessions, including the family, are undoubtedly conducive.

RESUMO

Resumen: Reportamos el manejo exitoso de la vía aérea con intubación orotraqueal a través de una máscara laríngea AuraOnceTM en un paciente con lesión de la médula espinal cervical. Su uso fue como dispositivo de rescate de la vía aérea tras intubación orotraqueal fallida con laringoscopía directa y dificultad para la ventilación con mascarilla en una paciente traumatizada de 46 años. Se tomó la decisión de utilizar la mascarilla laríngea sin intubación como conducto para la colocación de un tubo orotraqueal, lo cual se realizó con éxito. Este uso alternativo de la mascarilla laríngea Ambu AuraOnce podría ser de gran valor para los trabajadores de la salud en países de escasos recursos donde los dispositivos avanzados para las vías respiratorias no están fácilmente disponibles.


Abstract: We reported a successful airway management in a patient with a diagnosed cervical spinal injury with a non-intubating laryngeal mask AuraOnceTM. Its use was as a rescue airway device after failed orotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy and difficulty with facemask ventilation in a 46-year-old trauma patient. The decision was made to use the non-intubating laryngeal mask as a conduit for the placement of an orotracheal tube, which was done successfully. This alternative use of the Ambu AuraOnce laryngeal mask could be of great value to healthcare workers in resource-poor countries where advanced airway devices are not readily available.

RESUMO

Introduction: The use of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is a simple method that can reduce intubation in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF). Early and prolonged prone position has demonstrated benefits on mortality in mechanically ventilated patients and on intubation in awake patients with ARF. However, strategies to achieve adherence to awake prone positioning (APP) have not been previously described. Case and outcomes: We present six patients with ARF due to COVID-19 treated with HFNO and APP. The median (p25-75) of PaFiO2 upon admission was 121 (112-175). The average duration of APP on the first day was 16 h (SD 5 h). Duration (median p25-75) in APP for the following 20 days was 13 (10-18) h/day. Several strategies such as the presence of a health care team, recreational activities, adaptation of the circadian rhythm, oral nutritional support, and analgesics were used to improve prone tolerance. None of the patients suffered from delirium, all were ambulating on discharge from the ICU and none require intubation. Conclusion: The case series presented show the feasibility of prolonged use of HFNO and APP in patients with COVID-19 and severe persistent hypoxemia and described strategies to enhance adherence.

RESUMO

Introducción: Muchos enfermos de COVID-19 requieren ser ventilados. La laringoscopia directa (LD) es el método tradicional empleado en el manejo de la vía aérea; sin embargo, la videolaringoscopia (VL) es una alternativa en estos pacientes. Objetivo: Comparar la laringoscopia directa y la videolaringoscopia en el manejo de la vía aérea en pacientes con COVID-19. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo. El universo y la muestra estuvieron conformado por los pacientes intubados por médicos de la brigada Henry Reeve en hospitales de Cancún y Ciudad de México. Se conformaron dos grupos; el Grupo laringoscopia directa con 91 pacientes y el Grupo videolaringoscopia con 103. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, número de predictores de una vía respiratoria anatómicamente difícil (VRAD), visualización de la apertura glótica, intentos de intubación y las complicaciones de la intubación. El análisis estadístico de los datos se realizó con el paquete estadístico SPSS 23.0. Resultados: Los grupos fueron comparables en cuanto a edad, sexo y predictores de vía respiratoria anatómicamente difícil. La visualización glótica completa o parcial en el grupo videolaringoscopia fue de 97 por ciento, mientras que en el grupo laringoscopia directa fue de 86 por ciento. La intubación endotraqueal al primer intento superó el 70 por ciento en el grupo VL y el 50 por ciento en el grupo LD. Las principales complicaciones encontradas fueron la desaturación y la hipotensión arterial con una mayor frecuencia en el grupo LD (40,7 por ciento y 49,5 por ciento). Conclusiones: La videolaringoscopia mejoró la visualización glótica y la intubación endotraqueal al primer intento, con menos complicaciones en los pacientes estudiados(AU)


Introduction: Many COVID-19 patients require ventilation. Direct laryngoscopy is the traditional method used for airway management; however, videolaryngoscopy is an alternative in these patients. Objective: To compare direct laryngoscopy and videolaryngoscopy for airway management in COVID-19 patients. Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out. The universe and the sample consisted of patients intubated by physicians from Henry Reeve brigade at hospitals in Cancun and Mexico City. Two groups were formed: the direct laryngoscopy group, with 91 patients, and the videolaryngoscopy group, with 103 patients. The variables studied were age, sex, number of predictors of an anatomically difficult airway, visualization of the glottic opening, intubation attempts, and intubation complications. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 23.0 statistical package. Results: The groups were comparable in terms of age, sex and predictors of an anatomically difficult airway. Complete or partial glottic visualization in the videolaryngoscopy group was 97 percent , while in the direct laryngoscopy group it was 86 percent . Endotracheal intubation at the first attempt exceeded 70 percent in the videolaryngoscopy group and 50 percent in the direct laryngoscopy group. The main complications observed were desaturation and arterial hypotension with a higher frequency in the direct laryngoscopy group (40.7 percent and 49.5 percent , respectively). Conclusions: Video laryngoscopy improved glottic visualization and endotracheal intubation at the first attempt, with fewer complications in the patients studied(AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Studies of the respiratory tract microbiome primarily focus on airway and lung microbial diversity, but it is still unclear how these microbial communities may be affected by intubation and long periods in intensive care units (ICU), an aspect that today could aid in the understanding of COVID19 progression and disease severity. This study aimed to explore and characterize the endotracheal tube (ETT) microbiome by analyzing ETT-associated microbial communities. METHODS: This descriptive study was carried out on adult patients subjected to invasive mechanical ventilation from 2 to 21 days. ETT samples were obtained from 115 patients from ICU units in two hospitals. Bacteria isolated from endotracheal tubes belonging to the ESKAPE group were analyzed for biofilm formation using crystal violet quantification. Microbial profiles were obtained using Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. RESULTS: The ETT microbiome was mainly composed by the phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Microbiome composition correlated with the ICU in which patients were hospitalized, while intubation time and diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) did not show any significant association. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the ICU environment, or medical practices, could be a key to microbial colonization and have a direct influence on the ETT microbiomes of patients that require mechanical ventilation.

RESUMO

Resumen: Introducción: La utilización de dispositivos de barrera adicional para la intubación endotraqueal constituye un reto para la práctica médica durante la actual pandemia. Se pueden utilizar múltiples herramientas para intubación del paciente minimizando la exposición del operador sin afectar la seguridad del procedimiento. El médico debe evaluar y comprender adecuadamente cualquier estrategia adicional, ya que podría interferir con la intubación, aumentando el tiempo de manipulación. Objetivo: Comparar preferencia de los anestesiólogos entre dos dispositivos de barrera, uno diseñado con base en una lámina plástica versus caja de acrílico. Material y métodos: Incluimos 102 pacientes intervenidos de cirugías electivas y de urgencias que aceptaron participar en este estudio prospectivo, transversal y comparativo de manera voluntaria con previo consentimiento informado. Resultados: La lámina de plástico permite un menor tiempo de intubación, menos intentos de laringoscopía y disminuye dificultades de abordaje, además genera un grado de satisfacción mayor en el personal en comparación con dispositivos rígidos como la caja de acrílico. Conclusiones: Es posible obtener buenos resultados para instrumentar la vía aérea cuando se utilizan dispositivos de barrera adicional en personal entrenado. No obstante, teniendo en cuenta los hallazgos de este trabajo existen ventajas con el uso de lámina de plástico.


Abstract: Introduction: The use of additional barrier devices for endotracheal intubation constitutes a challenge for medical practice during the current pandemic. Multiple tools can be used for patient intubation minimizing operator exposure without compromising procedural safety. Any additional strategy must be properly evaluated and understood by the physician as it could interfere with intubation, increasing handling time. Objective: To compare anesthesiologists' preference between two barrier devices, one designed based on a plastic sheet vs an acrylic box. Material and methods: We included 102 patients who underwent elective and emergency surgeries who voluntarily agreed to participate in this prospective, cross-sectional and comparative study with prior informed consent. Results: The plastic sheet allows a shorter intubation time, fewer laryngoscopy attempts and reduces approach difficulties, in addition it generates a higher degree of satisfaction in the personnel compared to rigid devices such as the acrylic box. Conclusions: It is possible to obtain good results to instrument the airway when additional barrier devices are used in trained personnel. However, taking into account the findings of this work, there are advantages with the use of plastic sheeting.

RESUMO

El manejo especializado de la vía aérea (VA) es fundamental en las unidades de urgencia donde la intubación orotraqueal ha sido la técnica de elección para lograrlo. Una VA difícil se define como una situación clínica en la cual un equipo médico entrenado experimenta dificultades en la ventilación y/o en intubación. La obstrucción aguda de la VA constituye una de las emergencias médicas más extremas, requiriendo intervención inmediata. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con estridor inspiratorio con criterios inmediatos de intubación donde se evidencia un tumor en cuerdas vocales con obstrucción de la vía aérea.


Specialized airway management is essential in emergency units where endotracheal intubation has been the technique of choice. The difficult airway is defined as a clinical situation in which a trained medical team experiences difficulties in ventilation and, or intubation. Acute airway obstruction is one of the most extreme medical emergencies, requiring immediate intervention. We present the case of a patient with inspiratory stridor with quick criteria for intubation where a tumour in the vocal cords with airway obstruction is found.
