Airway Management for Trigeminal Thermal Coagulation

November 15, 2013 updated by: Wolfgang SCHRAMM, Medical University of Vienna

Airway Management in Patients Undergoing Thermal Ganglion Gasseri Coagulation, a New Method - Preliminary Results

Airway management of patients undergoing thermal coagulation of the Gasserian ganglion is very delicate. This is because of the specific operation site and moreover patients should recover quickly from anesthesia to follow verbal intraoperative commands of the surgeon. Endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask of course hinders the patient from speaking. An obvious alternative airway management, as performed in this preliminary study, is a nasopharyngeal placed tube.

The purpose of the present study is to objectify the gas exchange in patients during this new ventilation technique.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Blood gas exchange
Time Frame: Before and during the neurosurgical intervention
Blood gas analyses will be determined at three time points perioperatively. The first measurement, at base line, will be performed preoperatively, the second one after puncture of the Gasserian ganglion and the third during the thermal coagulation of the Gasserian ganglion.
Before and during the neurosurgical intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame
SpO2 oxygen saturation (pulse oximeter)
Time Frame: Before and during the neurosurgical intervention
Before and during the neurosurgical intervention
Hemodynamic parameters
Time Frame: Before and during the neurosurgical intervention
Before and during the neurosurgical intervention
