Brief Summary

Patients were randomly assigned to three supraglottic airway devices (SADs) groups for airway management after anesthesia induced. Fiberoptic bronchoscope (FB) guided glottic exposure grading was performed and other airway management quality was recorded.

Detailed Description

Mechanical ventilation was volume controlled and time cycled with tidal volumes (6-8 ml/kg) set to maintain peak inspiratory pressures of less than 20 cm H2O and ventilatory frequency adjusted to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) at 35-45 mmHg. Then a fiberoptic bronchoscope was passed through airway tube into the device to perform glottic exposure grading. Peak airway pressure, incidence of pharyngalgia, bleeding, hoarseness, and dysphagia were recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Glottic exposure gradingFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to the end of surgery.

Fiberoptic bronchoscope (FB) guided glottic exposure grading was performed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Peak inspiratory pressuresFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to 15 minutes after insertion.

Record peak airway pressure during surgery.

Plateau inspiratory pressuresFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to 15 minutes after insertion.

Record plateau airway pressure during surgery.

Oropharyngeal leak pressureFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to 30 minutes after insertion

Measure the oropharyngeal leak pressure after insertion of supraglottic airway device

Nasogastric tube insertion success rateFrom the initial insertion to the successful placement of nasogastric tube. An average of 20 minutes.

Record the nasogastric tube insertion success rate

Oropharyngeal leak pressure at 30 and 45 degrees of head rotationFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to 30 minutes after insertion

Measure the oropharyngeal leak pressure at 30 and 45 degrees of head rotation after insertion of supraglottic airway device

Ventilation qualityFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to 15 minutes after insertion

Record the ventilation quality after the insertion of supraglottic airway device. In specific, The Ventilation Quality Score consists of three components: presence of normal CO₂ waveform, bilateral symmetrical chest rise, and absence of air leak at 20 mmHg airway pressure. Total scores range 0-3, with 0 indicating poor ventilation quality and 3 representing optimal ventilation.

Abnormally ventilation events during surgeryFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to the end of surgery

Record the abnormally ventilation events (air leakage, abnormal carbon dioxide wave, higher airway pressure, hypoxemia, supraglottic airway device adjustment, change into intubation) during surgery

Side effects at the end of surgeryFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to the patient's transfer to the ward. An average of 3 hours.

Record side effects (blooding on the supraglottic airway device, pharyngalgia, hoarseness) at the end of surgery.

Side effects and adverse events 24 hours after surgeryPostoperative day 1.

Record side effects (pharyngalgia, hoarseness, cough when drinking), and adverse events (pneumonia, hypoxemia) 24 hours after surgery.

Nasogastric tube insertion attemptsFrom the initial supraglottic airway device insertion to the successful placement of nasogastric tube. An average of 20 minutes.

Record the number of attempts for nasogastric tube insertion

Nasogastric tube insertion timeFrom the initial supraglottic airway device insertion to the successful placement of nasogastric tube. An average of 20 minutes.

Record the duration (seconds from insertion initiation to successful placement) of nasogastric tube insertion

Nasogastric tube insertion difficultyFrom the initial supraglottic airway device insertion to the successful placement of nasogastric tube. An average of 20 minutes.

Record the insertion difficulty (1-3 scale; 1=easy, 3=difficult) of nasogastric tube placement

Reflux or aspiration riskFrom the insertion of supraglottic airway device to the end of surgery. An average of 3 hours.

Record gas/fluid volume during the surgery
