Elective oral tracheal intubation in cervical spine-injured adults

Abstract: Elective oral tracheal intubation in cervical spine-injured adultsThe optimal mode of tracheal intubation in the patient with an unstable cervical spine is controversial. Turner and Joyce criticized the use of both oral tracheal intubation and in-line stabilization for cervical spine immobili-1991 / 38:6 t pp785-9

“…As a consequence, immobilization of the cervical spine is mandatory in all trauma patients with a potential risk of cervical spine injury in order to avoid any secondary neurological injuries, ranging from neurological deficit to even death [2,3]. Emergency management of airways in traumatic patients with immobilized cervical spine is challenging, and sometimes even impossible [4][5][6].…”

“…30 Furthermore, many case series involving moderate numbers of patients with unstable C-spines who underwent airway management, often DL under general anesthesia, reported no neurological deterioration after intubation. 31,32 Although these studies can suffer from reporting bias and may lack adequate power to detect rare events, as a whole, they suggest that the risk of causing secondary neurological damage when securing the airway might be smaller than originally perceived. 30 A recent review of the American Society of Anesthesiologists' Closed Claims Project database revealed that most incidents of anesthesia-related C-spine injury did not occur in trauma patients but rather in healthy patients who underwent elective non-trauma surgery and appeared to have stable C-spines.…”

“…30 En outre, de nombreuses séries de cas portant sur des nombres appréciables de patients avec une colonne cervicale instable dont les voies aériennes ont été prises en charge -souvent par LD sous anesthésie générale -n'ont rapporté aucune détérioration neurologique après l'intubation. 31,32 Bien que ces études pourraient souffrir de biais de publication ou manquer de puissance pour déceler les évènements rares, elles indiquent néanmoins, dans leur ensemble, que le risque de provoquer une lésion neurologique secondaire lors de la prise en charge des voies aériennes pourrait être moins important qu'on le présupposait. 30 Un compte-rendu récent examinant la base de données des demandes de dédommagement closes (Closed Claims) de l'American Society of Anesthesiologists a révélé que la plupart des incidents de lésions de la colonne cervicale liés à l'anesthésie sont survenus non pas chez des patients traumatisés, mais chez des patients sains subissant une chirurgie non urgente et non traumatologique et dont la colonne cervicale semblait stable.…”
