Technique of Anaesthesia : General anaesthesia with awake fibere optic intubation using flexometallic Endotracheal tube . 22
MANAGEMENT OF ANAESTHESIA INDICATIONS FOR AWAKE INTUBATION Anticipated difficult airway (assessed on physical examination) . The natural airway is preserved in awake intubation. Spontaneous breathing is maintained. A patient who is awake and well topicalized is easier to intubate. The patient can still protect her airway from aspiration.
ELEMENTS OF AWAKE INTUBATION (AI) ELEMENTS UNDERLYING CONCEPT EXPLANATION PATIENTS UNDERSTAND SAFETY DESICCATION DRY THE AIRWAY DILATATION PREPARE THE NOSE TROPICALIZATION OBTUND REFLEXES SEDATION MAINTAIN THE PATIENTS AIRWAY CONTROL PROCRASTINATION AI CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BE RUSHED
B. PREPARATION OF THE PATIENT A detailed explanation of the technique is provided, and questions are answered. Reason should be explained to the patient, emphasizing that this is done for the patient's safety. The patient is informed of what he or she can do to assist in a smooth intubation.
PRE-OPERATIVE: NPO for 8hrs Written and informed consent were taken for anaesthesia . Two large IV(18G) bore cannula were secured.
PREMEDICATION Alleviate anxiety Provide a clear and dry airway Protect against the risk of aspiration Enable adequate topicalization of the airway
B . ASPIRATION PROPHYLAXIS H2- RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS Cimetidine and Ranitidine Selective and competitive antagonists that block secretion ofH+ Ranitidine : 0.25-1.0 mg/kg i.v Cimetidine : 5- 10 mg /k PO METOCLOPRAMIDE Dopamine antagonist Doses are 0.15 to 0.3 mg/kg IV. For complete aspiration prophylaxis, a combination of nonparticulate antacid, H2- receptor blocking agent, and metoclopramide may be used.
C. ANTISIALOGOGUES . , » Glycopyrrolate » Dos e - 0.2 mg I.V . Onset in 1 to 2 minutes . 20 min. before intubation
D. Nasal mucosal vasoconstrictors Patient adequate requires anesthesia awake of this nasal intubation, area, along with vasoconstriction, is essential . Agent commonly used are 4% cocaine and 2% lidocaine with 1% phenylephrine . Adequate anesthesia and vasoconstriction can be achieved in 10 to 15 minutes . Nasal decongestants 0.025% to 0.05% o xymetazoline hydrochloride nasal solution sprayed twice in each nostril .
INTRAOPERATIVE The patient was shifted to the operating theater. Standard ASA monitors (electrocardiogram, non-invasive blood pressure, and pulse oximeter). Temperature probe, neuromuscular monitors were attached. Her baseline vitals were noted which was within normal limits. BP- 118/70mmgh PR- 86/min SPO2-98% 0n RA RR-16/min
PREMEDICATION : Inj. Fentanyl 75 mcg iv Inj. Midazolam 1 mg iv Inj. Glyco 0.2mg iv Inj. Dexamethasone 8 mg iv Patient was preoxygenated with high flow nasal cannula . Induced with Inj. Thiopentone 240 mg iv Relaxed with inj. vecuronium 4 mg iv Patient was intubated with 7mm flexomettalic tube and put on mechanical ventilator after fixing and securing b/l air entry.
SPRAY GO TECHNIQUE Noninvasive and involves injecting local anesthetics through the suction port of the FOB. It requires attaching a triple stopcock to the proximal portion of the suction port in order to connect oxygen tubing to flow at 2 to 4 L/min. Under direct vision through the bronchoscope, targeted areas are sprayed with aliquots of 0.2 to 1.0 mL of 2% to 4% lidocaine. The physician then wait 30 to 60 seconds before advancing to deeper st ructure and repeating the maneuver .
Induced with Inj. Thiopentone 240 mg iv Relaxed with inj. vecuronium 4 mg iv Patient was intubated with 7mm flexomettalic tube and put on mechanical ventilator after fixing and securing b/l air entry. Patient is positioned with neck extended with sand bag between the shoulder blades and the head resting on a head ring. Arms should be secured by the side, padded and protected. Eye was covered with soft pad.
Maintenance: Inhalational agent: isoflurane With O2 and N2O Inj. Vecuronium 1mg iv intermittent. IV fluid RL was started Foley's catheter inserted. PCM: Inj. 900 mg iv. Inj. Fentanyl 25mcg iv given. Inj . Trenexa 1gm iv At the end of surgery- After gentle suctioning patient was reversed with Neostigmine (0.04 mg/kg) and Glycopyrrolate (0.01 mg/kg)
EXTUBATION An awake gradual extubation was done after leak test and patient was reversed with neostigmine and glycopyrrolate. Postextubation , bilateral vocal cord movement was checked with glidescope that was normal. Patient was kept in surgical Intensive Care Unit for observation in the postoperative period. Pain management was given via multimodal analgesia.
POST-OPERATIVE: Patient was conscious, cooperative. Her vitals were stable. S he was supplemented with face mask. Postoperative pain managed by multimodal analgesia. P ostoperative course was uneventful .
