Abstrakt: Objective: To evaluate the combination of inhalational induction with sevoflurane and fiberoptic intubation through a specific facial mask for anticipated difficult tracheal intubation (DI) in adults.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Patients and Methods: Eighteen consecutive patients at risk of DI. After premedication made of hydroxyzine 2 mg x kg(-1), preoxygenation, 0.1 microg x kg(-1) sufentanil was administered (T0), then, inhalational induction was started: sevoflurane 8% in 100% O2 l x min(-1). After 1 min, sevoflurane was decreased to 5% and, if necessary, adapted to obtain an adequate depth of anaesthesia (Ramsay score > 3). Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed through a Fibroxy mask. BP was measured every 2.5 min, HR, SpO2, RR were recorded. The results were analyzed by Newman-Keuls test.
Results: Intubation was easily realized but it was necessary to assist ventilation in patients presenting prolonged apnea lasting more than 30 s (5 out of 9 patients who presented apnea during procedure). Intubation was quickly realized (T+ 4 +/- 3 min). Haemodynamics and saturation were not altered during procedure. Inhalatory induction using sevoflurane costs 6 10 versus 16 80 for intravenous target controlled propofol anesthesia (using only one preconditionned syringe).
Conclusion: Inhalational induction with sevoflurane and fiberoptic intubation appeared easy, fast and cheap.
