Non-intubated deep paralysis: a new anaesthesia strategy for vocal cord polypectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vocal cord polyp is common otorhinolaryngological disease, traditionally treated by vocal cord polypectomy under a supporting laryngoscope with general anaesthesia. Although it is safe and controllable, it would cause some anaesthesia complications. Moreover, the complex process of general anaesthesia may significantly reduce surgical efficiency. Avoiding these problems remains an important issue.

Methods

All patients were subjected to the standard non-intubated deep paralysis (NIDP) protocol consisting of four phases. An emergency plan was launched when NIDP cannot be implemented successfully. Patient characteristics, blood gas and monitoring data were collected during NIDP. Data concerning satisfaction, complications and duration of anaesthesia and recovery were collected to assess its effectiveness.

Result

Among 20 enrolled patients, the success rate of NIDP was 95%. Only one patient failed in completing NIDP. Blood gas analysis revealed that the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide was maintained at safe levels. Monitoring during NIDP revealed fluctuations in mean arterial pressure between 110 and 70 mmHg, and the heart rate was stable at 60-100 beats per minute. The duration of anaesthesia and postoperative recovery were 13.0 ± 2.84 and 5.47 ± 1.97 min, respectively. All patients and surgeons were satisfied with NIDP, and no complications were detected before discharge.

Conclusion

NIDP can be safely applied to patients and can replace general anaesthesia in vocal cord polypectomy. It can significantly reduce the duration of anaesthesia and postoperative recovery. No anaesthesia complications occurred without intubation, and patients and surgeons were satisfied with NIDP.

Project description:ImportanceUnilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is a common and life-changing complication of cancer, trauma, and an estimated 500 000 head, neck, and chest surgeries performed annually in the US, among other causes (eg, idiopathic). Consequent disabilities are profound and often permanent and can include severe voice, swallowing, and breathing dysfunction and concomitant anxiety, isolation, and fear. Physiological measures often correlate poorly with patient-reported disability. The measure described herein was designed to be a comprehensive, psychometrically sound UVFP-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for use in clinical trials or at point of care.ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliability and validity of the CoPE (vocal Cord Paralysis Experience) PROM in a nationally representative sample for both clinical and research use.Design, setting, and participantsThis survey validation study was performed at 34 tertiary care centers across the US and included English-speaking adults with unilateral vocal fold immobility confirmed via laryngoscopy.Main outcomes and measuresReliability (internal consistency, alternate form, and test-retest) and validity (convergent and known-group).ResultsIn total, 613 patients (mean [SD] age, 58 [15.3] years; 394 [64.5%] women) were recruited, and 555 (92.3%) completed surveys for all time points. Internal consistency was high in the overall 22-item PROM and psychosocial, swallow, and voice subscales (Cronbach α > 0.91). Intraclass correlations for individuals between the baseline and 2-week administrations were moderate for the overall score and subscales (intraclass correlations range, 0.66-0.80). There were significant differences between the online and 2-week paper administrations for the overall score and voice and psychosocial subscales (overall scale mean: 54.4 [95% CI, 49.7-59.1] vs 48.9 [95% CI, 43.7-54.0] at 2 weeks). The confirmatory model was found to be suitably fitted based on average r2 values 0.5 or greater for subscale and overall scores. Correlations between subscales and existing PROMs (Voice-Related Quality of Life, Eating Assessment Tool, and Communication Participation Item Bank) were all greater than 0.69, and mean PROM subscale scores were significantly different across known quartiles of existing PROMs.Conclusions and relevanceThe findings of this survey validation study suggest that the CoPE PROM could serve as a psychometrically sound, comprehensive measure of UVFP-attributed disability suitable for use in clinical and research settings to assess within-person changes. The results will inform a user manual to facilitate use in clinical trials comparing the effectiveness and durability of treatments including behavioral (speech therapy), temporary (eg, injection augmentation), and permanent surgical treatments for UVFP.
