“…Future robust studies will further assess the utility of the new pharyngeal airway in controlled studies conducted by independent principal investigators with subjective and objective data collection on provider experience. Although this survey focused on the device’s ability to improve ventilation under deep sedation, more research is warranted to determine the usefulness in other airway management situations such as post-extubation or in patients with compromised airways outside the procedure and operating room and working efficiently with other medical devices such as fitting alongside an endoscopy bite block, connecting to anaesthesia circuits or manual resuscitators (27). Additionally, future studies will aim to compare the efficacy of the new device to other currently available airway devices in prospective, randomized, controlled studies.…”

BackgroundMaintaining an open airway in a spontaneously-breathing patient under deep sedation, or deep monitored anaesthesia care, can be challenging. Specifically, current oral airways are not long enough to displace obstruction caused by redundant pharyngeal tissue, prompting external maneuvers by anesthetists that can impact patient outcomes and facility operational efficiency. As procedures increase at outpatient surgical centers, there is a need for an anesthesia provider-validated airway device that can sufficiently open an obstructed airway and maintain airway patency.MethodsThis prospective, multi-center user-experience survey evaluated anesthesia provider experience of a new airway device for adult patients with airway obstruction during deep sedation. The novel external airway has a longer flexible tubing allowing for displacement of pharyngeal tissue, smaller diameter to allow placement alongside an endoscopy bite block, and is manufactured with softer material to allow ease of insertion and patient comfort.ResultsFifty-four anaesthetists at 15 hospital systems reported their experience of airway use in 86 cases. The novel airway device was 95% successful in establishing and maintaining a patent airway (n=68). Survey responses indicated that the airway was easy to place (93%), allowed for a “hands-off approach” (98%), and would improve airway management practice and patient outcomes (86%).ConclusionsThis pilot study demonstrated that the novel external airway is an effective and satisfactory method for anaesthesia providers to alleviate airway obstruction during deep sedation. Additional studies will be initiated to confirm efficacy and cost-effectiveness in patient populations and clinical environments that will most benefit from the new airway device.

“…El siguiente gran paso para el tubo endotraqueal fue con la aparición de los relajantes neuromusculares, cuando Sir Benjamin Brodie, en Inglaterra, inició los experimentos de ventilación artificial en animales intubados, pero fue en 1942 que el anestesiólogo canadiense Harold Griffith aplicó este conocimiento en 25 pacientes intubados para proveer relajación en la cirugía abdominal con la finalidad de facilitar al equipo de cirugía la técnica quirúrgica, con lo que promovió un avance importante en el ámbito de la cirugía abdominal (2) .…”

RESUMEN.A través de los siglos hemos descubierto la importancia de mantener permeable y segura la vía aérea. Desde Hipócrates en la antigua Grecia, hasta el siglo XX en oriente y occidente, se ha continuado con el desarrollo de herramientas que faciliten esta cotidiana tarea por lo que, con esta revisión sistemática, se establecieron como objetivos exponer el origen y los antecedentes del tubo endotraqueal, cánula orofaríngea y laringoscopio, así como discutir su utilidad en la práctica anestésica-quirúrgica, a través del tiempo hasta hoy en día.

“…The influence of human factors on patient outcomes is of utmost significance. Efficient communication, collaboration, and effective operating room leadership are essential in establishing a secure surgical setting [11]. The intricacy of surgical procedures necessitates flawless communication among all team members, ranging from surgeons to nurses to anesthesiologists.…”
