Impact of Different Modes of Ventilation With Laryngeal Mask Airway on Pediatric Cataract Surgery

June 8, 2021 updated by: Sameh Fathy
This study will be conducted to evaluate effects of different modes of ventilation on pediatric cataract surgery aiming to a peri-operative stable anesthesia, better surgical satisfaction and post operative recovery. It is hypothesized that controlled ventilation without muscle relaxation will be advantageous to other modes in providing adequate surgical satisfaction with considerable depth of anesthesia and better recovery profile.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Anesthetic management in pediatric cataract surgery constitutes a special challenge. Any eye movements can lead to an unsatisfactory surgical field and increase the risk of ophthalmological complications. Achieving adequate ventilation of children is considered another challenge due to huge variability in size and lung maturity. Spontaneous breathing is a popular mode of ventilation with several beneficial effects. Controlled ventilation without muscle relaxation using laryngeal mask airway is attractive option because the side effects of muscle relaxants are avoided. Therefore, this study will be conducted to evaluate effects of different modes of ventilation on pediatric cataract surgery aiming to a peri-operative stable anesthesia, better surgical satisfaction and post-operative recovery. This prospective, randomized, comparative clinical study will include 150 children who will be scheduled for elective cataract surgery under general anesthesia in Mansoura ophthalmology center over one year. Informed written consent will be obtained from parents of all subjects in the study after ensuring confidentiality.The study protocol will be explained to parents of all patients in the study who will be kept fasting prior to surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to three equal groups according to computer-generated table of random numbers using the permuted block randomization method. In the first group, spontaneous ventilation will be maintained with pressure support; while in the two other groups, mechanical ventilation will be applied with pressure controlled modes. The collected data will be coded, processed, and analyzed using SPSS program. All data will be considered statistically significant if P value is ≤ 0.05.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Spontaneous Ventilation
Patients will spontaneously ventilated. Laryngeal mask airway will be inserted and anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane.
Ventilator will be adjusted to administer pressure at 10 cmH2O.
Other Names:
  • Assisted Ventilation
Capnography connected to laryngeal mask airway is introduced after adequate jaw relaxation; its size is chosen according to the body weight of the child.
Other Names:
  • Supraglottic Airway Device
Sevoflurane in air/oxygen mixture of 40% will be titrated to achieve adequate depth of anesthesia to maintain immobilization of the eye.
Other Names:
  • Inhalational Anesthesia
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Unparalyzed Controlled Ventilation
Patients will be mechanically ventilated without muscle relaxation.Laryngeal mask airway will be inserted and anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane.
Capnography connected to laryngeal mask airway is introduced after adequate jaw relaxation; its size is chosen according to the body weight of the child.
Other Names:
  • Supraglottic Airway Device
Sevoflurane in air/oxygen mixture of 40% will be titrated to achieve adequate depth of anesthesia to maintain immobilization of the eye.
Other Names:
  • Inhalational Anesthesia
Pressure controlled ventilation mode will be applied to obtain a volume of 8 ml/kg up to 20 cmH2O. The set respiratory rate will be 15 breaths/min then it is adjusted to achieve the end tidal CO2 levels between 35 and 40 mmHg as measured by capnography.
Other Names:
  • Positive pressure Ventilation
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Paralyzed Controlled Ventilation
Patients will be mechanically ventilated with muscle relaxation.Laryngeal mask airway will be inserted and anesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane.
Capnography connected to laryngeal mask airway is introduced after adequate jaw relaxation; its size is chosen according to the body weight of the child.
Other Names:
  • Supraglottic Airway Device
Sevoflurane in air/oxygen mixture of 40% will be titrated to achieve adequate depth of anesthesia to maintain immobilization of the eye.
Other Names:
  • Inhalational Anesthesia
Pressure controlled ventilation mode will be applied to obtain a volume of 8 ml/kg up to 20 cmH2O. The set respiratory rate will be 15 breaths/min then it is adjusted to achieve the end tidal CO2 levels between 35 and 40 mmHg as measured by capnography. Also, neuromuscular blockade will be achieved.
Other Names:
  • Positive pressure Ventilation
