“…The i-gel TM was found to be the easiest of several SADs to insert in one manikin-based study 17 . Time taken to insert the AuraOnce TM was shorter in our study than in previous studies 5,6,10 and comparable to the results of another 12 which may be explained by a greater experience of all our operators with insertion of the AuraOnce TM device. Three patients required endotracheal intubation.…”

“…Total success rate for AuraOnce TM insertion was 94.2% which corresponds with the results of other studies where overall success rate found was between 94% and 100% (ref. [4][5][6][10][11][12] ). First time success rates for the i-gel TM found in our study was 85.6% which is lower than the results published in recent cohorts.…”

“…The OLP values observed in our study were similar to those found in the studies of López et al (12), van Zundert et al (29), and Cook et al (30) when the cuff inner pressure was maintained at 60 cmH 2 O, i.e. 22 ± 6, 25 ± 6, and 20.5 cmH 2 O, respectively.…”

“…In edentulous geriatric patients, sunken cheeks may make ventilation with a mask ineffective and perhaps even impossible (20). In a previous study, the 12.6% rate of difficult mask ventilation (DMV) comprised both dentulous and edentulous geriatric patients; therefore, the presence of patients with teeth may have reduced the relative incidence of DMV in the study (17). The results showed no link between lack of teeth and mask ventilation; however, other studies have shown that mask ventilation is more difficult in edentulous patients.…”

“…The criteria indicating successful LMU placement were as follows (11) Evaluation of the ease of insertion was based on a Likert scale (a 4-point scale from easy to unsuccessful) (12). The scale was defined as follows: 1 = easy (LMU inserted in a single attempt, no resistance observed, insertion with only chin-opening movement); 2 = moderately difficult (LMU inserted in a single attempt, slight resistance observed); 3 = difficult (LMU inserted on the second attempt, clear movement observed); and 4 = unsuccessful (alternative airway management applied).…”

A comparison of usage of the laryngeal mask UniqueTMin denticulate and edentulate geriatric patients

Background/aim: Mask ventilation in geriatric and edentulous patients can be ineffective or even impossible because of the shape inside the patients' cheeks. For patients for whom a mask cannot be used for long, the use of a laryngeal mask can ease the administration of anesthesia. The aim of this study was to compare the use of the laryngeal mask Unique TM in denticulate and edentulate patients aged over 65 years.Materials and methods: This prospective study included patients according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists I-III classification, aged 65 years or more. The patients were divided into two groups: a dentulous group (n = 33) and an edentulous group (n = 33). The success of the first attempt of insertion, ease of insertion, time taken to insert, and oropharyngeal leak pressure were measured. After insertion of the laryngeal mask Unique TM , a researcher who was unaware of whether the patients had teeth or not conducted an oropharyngeal leak test. Results:The success rate of inserting the laryngeal mask Unique TM on the first attempt was higher in the dentulous group than in the edentulous group. Ease of insertion, time taken to insert, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and laryngopharyngeal morbidity were similar for each group. Conclusion:In this study, successful insertion of the laryngeal mask Unique TM was higher in dentulous than in edentulous patients. We conclude that this effect could have important implications for anesthesiologists managing edentulous geriatric patients with supraglottic airway devices.

BACKGROUND: Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is commonly used for airway management. A cuff hyperin ation was associated with complications, poor ventilation and increased risk of gastric insu ation. This study was designed to determine the best cuff in ation method of AuraOnceÔ LMA during bronchoscopy and EBUS (Endobronquial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy) procedure.We designed a Randomized controlled, doble-blind, clinical trial to compare the e cacy and safety of three cuff in ation methods of AuraOnceÔ LMA. METHODS: 210 consenting patients scheduled for EBUS procedure under general anesthesia, using AuraOnce â LMA were randomized into three groups depending on cuff insu ation: residual volume (RV), half of the maximum volume (MV), unchanged volume (NV). Parameters regarding intracuff pressure (IP), airway leak pressure (OLP), leakage volume (LV) were assessed, as well as postoperative complications (PC). RESULTS: 201 (95.7%) patients completed the study. Mean IP differed between groups (MV: 59.4±32.4 cm H2O; RV: 75.1±21.1 cm H2O; NV: 83.1±25.5 cmH20; P<0.01). The incidence of IP > 60 cmH2O was lower in the MV group compared to the other two (MV: 20/65(30.8%); RV:47/69 (68.1%); NV 48/67 (71.6%); p<0.01). The insertion success rate was 89,6% (180/201) at rst attempt, with no difference between groups (p=0.38). No difference between groups was found either for OLP (p=0.53), LV (p=0.26) and PC (p=0,16). CONCLUSION: When a cuff manometer is not available, a partial in ation of AuraOnceÔ LMA cuff using MV method allows to control intracuff pressure, with no signi cant changes of OLP and LV compared to RV and NV insu ation method.
