Reintubação de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca: uma análise retrospectiva

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca que necessitaram de reintubação endotraqueal, e identificar os fatores associados com óbito e seu relacionamento com escores de severidade. Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de informações referentes a 1.640 pacientes e...

Retrograde submental intubation assisted with direct video laryngoscopy in maxillofacial trauma: technical note and case report

The management of a difficult airway is one of the biggest challenges of perioperative anesthesia management. The maxillofacial trauma can cause serious disturbances of the soft and hard tissues of the anatomical components of the upper airway and often with little external evidence of deformity. The sub...

A comparison of various supraglottic airway devices for fiberoptical guided tracheal intubation

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (2), 2017
Abstract Background: Fiberoptical assisted intubation via placed supraglottic airway devices has been described as safe and easy procedure to manage difficult airways. However visualization of the glottis aperture is essential for fiberoptical assisted intubation. Various different supraglottic airway d...

Sensibilidad y especificidad de las pruebas para evaluar la vía respiratoria
Sensitivity and specificity of the airway assessment tests

Introducción: una de las responsabilidades del anestesiólogo es controlar la vía respiratoria del paciente. El 34 por ciento de las demandas realizadas a anestesiólogos se encuentran en relación con eventos de la vía respiratoria y a la dificultad para la intubación. Objetivos: identificar cuál d...

Anesthesia in a patient with Stiff Person Syndrome

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (5), 2016
Abstract Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), typified by rigidity in muscles of the torso and extremities and painful episodic spasms, is a rare autoimmune-based neurological disease. Here we present the successful endotracheal intubation and application of TIVA without muscle relaxants on an SPS patient. A 46 ...

A randomised crossover trial comparing the Airtraq ® NT, McGrath ® MAC and Macintosh laryngoscopes for nasotracheal intubation of simulated easy and difficult airways in a manikin

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Several devices can aid nasotracheal intubation when managing difficult airways. The McGrath MAC and Airtraq NT were compared with a Macintosh laryngoscope when studying the performance of anaesthetists with different levels of experience, in a manikin model of easy or difficult air...

In vitro evaluation of the method effectiveness to limit inflation pressure cuffs of endotracheal tubes

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cuffs of tracheal tubes protect the lower airway from aspiration of gastric contents and facilitate ventilation, but may cause many complications, especially when the cuff pressure exceeds 30 cm H2O. This occurs in over 30% of conventional insufflations, so it is reco...

Use of a homemade introducer guide (bougie) for intubation in emergency situation in patients who present with difficult airway: a case series

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The incidence of difficult airway reaches 10% of emergency intubations. Although few studies address the use of handmade introducer guides in emergency and intensive care environment, there are descriptions of handmade guides available on the Internet. We describe a ...

Orotracheal intubation and temporomandibular disorder: a longitudinal controlled study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence of signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder in elective surgery patients who underwent orotracheal intubation. METHODS: This was a longitudinal controlled study with two groups. The study group included patients who underwent orot...

Comparison of sevoflurane concentration for insertion of proseal laryngeal mask airway and tracheal intubation in children (correlation with BIS)

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (1), 2016
BACKGROUND: Sevoflurane is an inhalational agent of choice in paediatric anaesthesia. For management of airways in children a suitable alternative to ETT is a paediatric proseal laryngeal mask airway (benchmark second generation SAD). Various studies have shown that less sevoflurane concentration is requ...
