Survey of patients whose lungs could not be ventilated and whose trachea could not be intubated in university hospitals in Japan.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:We conducted a survey to clarify the actual circumstances in which the lungs could not be ventilated and the trachea could not be intubated (CVCI). METHODS:A questionnaire was mailed to all the university hospitals in Japan, asking about CVCI they had experienced during induction of anesthesia in 1998, and before 1997. RESULTS:Answers were obtained from 60 of 83 institutes. CVCI occurred in 26 of 151 900 cases of general anesthesia (0.017%) in 1998. Eighteen cases occurred after induction of anesthesia by several induction methods. Five cases occurred after repeated attempts at tracheal intubation by laryngoscopy and fiberscopy in patients under awake or anesthetized conditions. In the remaining 3 cases, the situation of occurrence was not documented. Patients with CVCI had anatomical abnormalities around the upper airways, mostly from acquired diseases. CVCIs after induction of anesthesia were successfully treated by restoration of spontaneous respiration, blind intubation, laryngeal mask airway, and transtracheal approaches, and CVCIs after repeated attempts at intubation were treated mostly by transtracheal approaches. No serious consequences occurred in any patients in 1998. Twenty cases were reported before 1997, and 2 were specific, in which CVCI followed malplacement of a tracheal tube, and serious consequences, death and brain damage, respectively, followed. In other patients, no serious consequences occurred, although cardiac arrest occurred in 1 patient. CONCLUSION:This survey demonstrates that CVCI can occur in any situation in which the airway is not established. Furthermore, effective treatments may be different depending on the situation, and delayed recognition of tracheal tube misplacement may lead to a serious outcome.
