Kopsavilkums
Aktualitāte: balstoties uz literatūras datiem apmēram 20% pacientu ar mugurkaula kakla daļas patoloģijām ir slikti vizualizējama balsene tiešās laringoskopijas laikā, kas savukārt var novest pie apgrūtinātas intubācijas jeb t.s grūtajiem elpceļiem. Elpceļu preoperatīva izmeklēšana un radioloģiskie izmeklējumi nesniedz pārliecinošu atbildi par grūto elpceļu iespējamību šādiem pacientiem. Virtuālā laringoskopija ir papildus rīks ko izmantot elpceļu izmeklēšanā, bet tās precizitāte grūto elpceļu pirmsoperācijas diagnostikā nav definēta.
Metodoloģija: pētījums tika veikts Trauamtoloģijas un Ortopēdijas slimnīcā. Pacienta ietveršanas kritēriji pētījumā - mugurkaula kakla daļas patoloģija, operācija vispārējā narkozē, pacienta vecums virs 18 gadiem, pirmsoperācijas diagnostikas nolūkā pacientam jau ir veikta datortomogrāfija (DT) kaklam un galvai. Pētījuma ietvaros jau iepriekš veiktā DT tika izmantota, lai izveidotu trīs-dimensiju (3D) balsenes attēlu. Lai to veiktu tika izmantota programma Philips Intellispace attēlu pēcapstrādes serveris DT attēlu apskatīšanai.
Pētījuma gaita. Pirms operācijas elpceļi tika izvērtēti izmantojot El-Ganzouri indeksu. Uzsāk anestēzijas indukciju. Veicot tiešo laringoskopiju ar Macintosh Nr.3 asmeni tiek vizualizēta balsene. Izmantojot speciāli pielāgotu aparatūru tiek uzņemts attēls no anesteziologa skatu punkta. Elpceļu nodrošināšanas procedūra tiek turpināta. Pēcāk iegūtie attēli no tiešās un virtuālās laringoskopijas tiek analizēti izmantojot modificēto Cormack-Lehane (CL) skalu.
Rezultāti: Pētījumā tika iekļauti 10 pacienti. Vidējais pacienta vecums bija 52 gadi ar standartdeviāciju (SD) ±11 gadi. Vidējā El-Ganzouri indeksa vērtība starp pacientiem bija 4 punkti (SD ±3 punkti). Visi pētījumā iekļautie pacienti tika veiksmīgi intubēti ar pirmo mēģinājumu. Veicot iegūto datu analīzi 60% CL skalas iegūtā vērtība sakrita starp tiešo un virtuālo laringoskopiju. Visiem pacientiem 3D rekonstrukcijās distance starp balssaitēm un to proporcija ar apkārt esošajām struktūrām bija nepareiza.
Secinājumi: Virtuālā laringoskopija nesniedz akurātu balsenes atspoguļojumu salīdzinot ar tiešo laringoskopiju, bet sniedz akurātu un statistiski nozīmīgu balsenes pārredzamības atspoguļojumu.
Background: 20% of patients with cervical spine disease are reported to have poor glottic visibility during direct laryngoscopy which can lead to difficulty in intubation. Preoperative airway examination and radiologic findings can be inconclusive in predicting difficult airway of such patient. Virtual laryngoscopy (VL) is available as additional tool for larynx assessment, but its precision as predictor of poor glottic visibility is yet unknown. Method: The study was performed in Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopedics and included patients with cervical spine pathology undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were included if computed tomography (CT) images of the spine were available. CT scan was used to create three-dimensional (3D) images of the laryngeal view using Philips Intellispace image post-processing server CT viewer program. Preoperative assessment of airways was performed using El-Ganzouri index. After induction of anesthesia and direct laryngoscopy was performed using Macintosh 3 blade and photograph of the obtained glottic view taken. Cormack-Lehane (CL score) was used to compare VL reconstruction with image obtained during visualization of glottis. Results: There were 10 patients included in this study. Mean age in this study group is 52 years with standard deviation of ± 11 years. Mean El-Ganzouri index is 4 points with standard deviation of ±3 points. All patients were intubated successfully on first attempt. In 60% of patients CL score matched between direct laryngoscopy and VL 3D reconstruction. In all patients distance between vocal cords and their proportions to surrounding anatomical structures were distorted in reconstruction. Conclusion: Virtual laryngoscopy does not provide an accurate representation of larynx as seen during direct laryngoscopy, but provides data regarding visibility of glottic opening.
