Complicaciones de la vía aérea durante anestesia general. Revisión sistemática y meta-análisis comparando ML flexible y tubo endotraqueal Airway Complications during and after General Anesthesia: A Comparison, Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Using Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airways and Endotracheal Tubes. Xu R1, Lian Y2, Li WX1. PLoS One. 2016 Jul 14;11(7):e0158137. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0158137. eCollection 2016. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Flexible laryngeal mask airways (FLMAs) have been widely used in thyroidectomy as well as cleft palate, nasal, upper chest, head and neck oncoplastic surgeries. This systematic review aims to compare the incidence of airway complications that occur during and after general anesthesia when using the FLMA and endotracheal intubation (ETT). We performed a quantitative meta-analysis of the results of randomized trials. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was conducted using the key words "flexible laryngeal mask airway" and "endotracheal intubation". Only prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the FLMA and ETT were included. The relative risks (RRs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using a quality effects model in MetaXL 1.3 software to analyze the outcome data. RESULTS: Ten RCTs were included in this meta-analysis. There were no significant differences between the FLMA and ETT groups in the incidence of difficulty in positioning the airway [RR = 1.75, 95% CI = (0.70-4.40)]; the occurrence of sore throat at one hour and 24 hours postoperative [RR = 0.90, 95% CI = (0.13-6.18) and RR = 0.95, 95% CI = (0.81-1.13), respectively]; laryngospasms [RR = 0.58, 95% CI = (0.27-1.23)]; airway displacement [RR = 2.88, 95% CI = (0.58-14.33)]; aspiration [RR = 0.76, 95% CI = (0.06-8.88)]; or laryngotracheal soiling [RR = 0.34, 95% CI = (0.10-1.06)]. Patients treated with the FLMA had a lower incidence of hoarseness [RR = 0.31, 95% CI = (0.15-0.62)]; coughing [RR = 0.28, 95% CI = (0.15-0.51)] during recovery in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU); and oxygen desaturation [RR = 0.43, 95% CI = (0.26-0.72)] than did patients treated with ETT. However, the incidence of partial upper airway obstruction in FLMA patients was significantly greater than it was for ETT patients [RR = 4.01, 95% CI = (1.44-11.18)]. CONCLUSION: This systematic review showed that the FLMA has some advantages over ETT because it results in a lower incidence of hoarseness, coughing and oxygen desaturation. There were no statistically significant differences in the difficulty of intubation or in the occurrence of laryngospasms, postoperative sore throat, airway displacement, aspiration or laryngotracheal soiling. However, there was a higher incidence of partial upper airway obstruction in the FLMA than in the ETT group. We conclude that the FLMA has some advantages over ETT, but surgeons and anesthesiologists should be cautious when applying the mouth gag, moving the head and neck, or performing oropharyngeal procedures to avoid partial upper airway obstruction and airway displacement. The FLMA should not be used on patients at high risk for aspiration. PDF Comparación entre dispositivos supraglóticos de vía aérea y tubos endotraqueales en pacientes de cirugía laparoscópica. Revisión sistemática y meta-análisis Comparison between supraglottic airway devices and endotracheal tubes in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Park SK1, Ko G, Choi GJ, Ahn EJ, Kang H. Medicine (Baltimore). 2016 Aug;95(33):e4598. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000004598. Abstract BACKGROUND: Comparisons between the efficacies of supraglottic airway devices (SGAs) and endotracheal tubes (ETTs) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we compared the clinical performance and incidence of complications between SGAs and ETT intubation in laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar to identify randomized controlled trials that compared SGAs with ETTs in laparoscopic surgery. RESULTS: In total, 1433 patients from 17 studies were included in the final analysis. SGAs and ETTs showed no difference in insertion success rate on the first attempt (relative risk [RR] 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.99-1.03), insertion time (standardized mean difference 1.57, 95% CI -3.74 to 0.61), and oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) (mean difference -2.54, 95% CI -7.59 to 2.50). The incidence of desaturation (RR 3.65, 95% CI 1.39-9.62), gastric insufflations (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.48-1.71), regurgitation (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.02-49.13), and aspiration (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.01-78.4) also showed no intergroup differences. However, the incidence of laryngospasm (RR 3.12, 95% CI 1.29-7.52), cough at removal (RR 6.68, 95% CI 4.70-9.48), dysphagia (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.12-1.95) or dysphonia (RR 4.41, 95% CI 1.25-15.55), sore throat (RR 1.60, 95% CI 1.33-1.93), and hoarseness (RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.29-1.81) was higher in the ETT group than in the SGA group. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of laryngospasm, cough at removal, dysphagia or dysphonia, sore throat, and hoarseness were higher in the ETT group than in the SGA group. However, the groups showed no differences in the rate of insertion success on the first attempt, insertion time, OLP, and other complications. Therefore, SGAs might be clinically more useful as effective airways in laparoscopic surgery.
