The strategy of non-intubated spontaneous ventilation anesthesia for upper tracheal surgery: a retrospective case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper tracheal surgery is used to treat patients who with tracheal tumors or tracheal stenosis. The non-intubated spontaneous ventilation anesthesia (NSVA) may have advantages over endotracheal intubation and surgical cross-field intubation in upper tracheal surgery. This study aimed to illustrate and assess the feasibility of NSVA strategy for upper tracheal surgery.

Methods

This is a retrospective case series study in which 51 patients (from May 2015 to August 2020) who met the criteria in NSVA strategy were analyzed. Anesthesia was performed using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) combined with bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (CPB) or thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA). Patients received spontaneous ventilation through laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
