Laryngeal Mask Use in Knee-chest Position in Lumbar Surgery in Neurosurgical Patients

February 13, 2017 updated by: Ricard Valero, Fundacion Clinic per a la Recerca Biomédica
Spine surgery is the most common procedure in neurosurgical setting. Some centers have chosen the patient self-position to avoid complications such as accidental extubation or loss of the iv line. The aim of our retrospective study is to describe our experience in the laryngeal mask use for airway management in patient submitted to spine surgery in neurosurgery

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Retrospective analysis of our experience in the last 8 years with the airway management in spine surgery in prone position. A total of 358 cases were reviewed from 2008 to 2013.

Airway management (need for LM repositioning, orotracheal intubation because of failed LM insertion), anticipated difficult airway, and airway complications were registered. Statistics were compared between groups with the t test or the χ test, as appropriate.
