Abstract:
:Postoperative management following major surgery in patients with neuromuscular disorders associated with scoliosis is frequently complicated by sputum retention and ventilatory failure. This report demonstrates the successful perioperative management of an 11-yr-old boy with type II spinal muscular atrophy undergoing a single-stage posterior spinal fusion procedure. Use of an MI-E device was able to successfully treat sputum retention and avoid a tracheostomy.

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:The oesophageal leak pressure is defined as the pressure which breaks the seal between the cuff of a supraglottic airway and the peri-cuff mucosa, allowing penetration of fluid into the pharynx and the oral cavity. As a consequence, a decrease in this variable increases the risk of reflux and can lead to pul...
