Crisis management during anaesthesia: obstruction of the natural airway.
BACKGROUND Obstruction of the natural airway, while usually easily recognised and managed, may present simply as desaturation, have an unexpected cause, be very difficult to manage, and have serious consequences for the patient. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a previously described core algorithm "COVER ABCD-A SWIFT CHECK", supplemented by a specific sub-algorithm for obstruction of the na...
متن کاملThe upper airway during anaesthesia.
Upper airway obstruction is common during both anaesthesia and sleep. Obstruction is caused by loss of muscle tone present in the awake state. The velopharynx, a particularly narrow segment, is especially predisposed to obstruction in both states. Patients with a tendency to upper airway obstruction during sleep are vulnerable during anaesthesia and sedation. Loss of wakefulness is compounded b...
متن کاملAnaesthesia and tracheobronchial stenting for central airway obstruction in adults.
In the last decade, stents suitable for the management of tracheobronchial stenoses and obstruction have evolved from bulky prostheses requiring tracheal resection to small devices that are self-expanding and can be inserted using fibreoptic techniques. The experience base for this review is more than 100 patients between 1989 and 2001 who have been anaesthetized for stent insertion. Early case...

متن کاملLaryngeal mask airway performance: effect of cuff deflation during anaesthesia.
We studied the effect of deflating the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) cuff in situ on recorded respiratory tidal ventilation in 30 spontaneously breathing anaesthetized patients. Another 26 patients were studied in whom the LMA cuff was undisturbed. Deflation of the cuff to a pressure of 22 mm Hg (below an estimated arteriolar perfusion pressure of the pharyngeal mucosa), by removing approximately...
