Introduction to Open Airway

The presence of the virus in high concentrations in the aerodigestive tract and the need for an open airway during surgery can increase the risk of aerosolization of the virus and subsequent infection of the surgical, anesthetic, and operating room (OR) personnel.

OBJECTIVE We report outcomes of endoscopic interventions in the management of pediatric subglottic stenosis (SGS), and factors that lead to open airway reconstruction.

To evaluate the role of hospital setting on outcomes in open airway surgery by comparing patients who underwent surgery (cricotracheal resection [CTR] or tracheal resection [TR]) at a publicly funded county hospital vs a private university hospital.

Airway topicalization is frequently utilized by anesthesiologists to facilitate open airway procedures, aid intubation for a difficult airway, and prevent adverse respiratory events.

This article aims to review previous and current literature on open airway reconstruction to guide care for these children.

Surgical site infection and restenosis by the pathogenic bacteria is the most fatal complication after open airway surgery.

In the unlikely event of impaired breathing during such an operation, the oral cavity should be inspected for confirmation of an open airway.

Immediate basic care of newborn of the newborn at birth included maintenance of temperature, establishment of open airway, initial of breathing and maintenance of circulation.

Notably, our study excluded patients undergoing open airway reconstruction immediately prior to decannulation.

The three-person teams were more likely to check an open airway.

However, its use in third trimester parturients undergoing open airway surgery has been limited to an apneic technique (Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange [THRIVE]) in current publications.

Pfitzner’s alternative recommendation to connect the open airway to an ambient pressure oxygen source in order to increase the speed of lung deflation seems reasonable, there is presently no experimental data to support this practice.

The primary objective was to determine the rate of persistent TCF after successful decannulation in children with staged open airway reconstruction.

Thus, if prompt lung collapse is desired, the open airway should either be connected to an ambient pressure oxygen source or, as has previously been described, occluded as soon as the patient is placed in the lateral position and OLV is initiated.
