T1112 A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Patients' Perspective and Success Rate to Types of Anesthesia Used in Elective Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Procedures

Abstract Background To compare ultrasound-guided tracheal intubation (UGTI) versus Shikani optical stylet (SOS)-aided tracheal intubation in patients with anticipated normal airway.Methods Sixty patients aged 18–65 years old who presented for elective surgery under general anesthesia were recruited in this prospective randomized study. They were assigned into two equal groups, either an ultrasound-guided group (Group UG, n = 30) or an SOS-aided group (Group SOS, n = 30). After the induction of anesthesia, the tracheal intubation was performed by a specified skilled anesthesiologist. The number of tracheal intubation attempt and the duration of successful intubation on the first attempt were recorded. Complications relative to tracheal intubation including desaturation, hoarseness and sore throat were also recorded.Results The first-attempt success rate is 93.3% (28/30) in Group UG and 90% (27/30) in Group SOS (P = 0.64). The second-attempt was all successful for the 2 and 3 patients left in the two groups, and the overall success rate of both groups was 100%. The duration of successful intubation on the first attempt of Group UG was not significantly different from that of Group SOS (34.0 ± 20.8 s vs 35.5 ± 23.2 s, P = 0.784). One patient in Group SOS had desaturation (P = 0.313), and there was none hoarseness in the two groups. Sore throat was detected in both group (4 in Group UG, 5 in Group SOS, P = 0.718).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided tracheal intubation was as effective as Shikani optical stylet-aided tracheal intubation in adult patients with anticipated normal airway.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-IIC-17010875.

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy

Background Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR) is an effective and safe procedure when treating saccal and postsaccal nasolacrimal duct obstruction. However, sometimes scarring of the rhinostomy site caused by fibrosis may occur, particularly in revision operations. The application of intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC), an antiproliferative agent, has been introduced as one possible technique to improve the outcome. We conducted a prospective, randomized study to evaluate if the use of MMC improves the success in endonasal revision DCR procedure. Methods Thirty revision EN-DCR procedures were performed during 2004–2010. The patients were randomized into two study groups, according to whether the intraoperative MMC was used or not. The technique of EN-DCR procedure in both groups was the same, but in the MMC group, at the end of the procedure a piece of tampon soaked in MMC (0.4 mg/mL) was placed into the rhinostoma for 5 minutes. No silicone stents were inserted. The surgical outcome at the 6-month follow-up visit was considered successful if the lacrimal sac irrigation succeeded and if the patients’ symptoms were relieved. Results The success rate after revision EN-DCR with MMC was 93% and without MMC was 60%. The overall success rate was 77%. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.08). The relief of the symptoms between groups in both the Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction Symptom Score and ocular symptoms was statistically significant (p = 0.007 and p = 0.02, respectively). Conclusion The results of our study indicate that the application of intraoperative mitomycin C may improve the outcome in revision EN-DCR.
