Abstract:Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture in bronchoscope interventional treatment.Methods Forty patients, aged 19~76 y, with body mass index of 19~23 kg/m2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective bronchoscope interventional treatment, were randomly divided into control group (group C) and ultrasound group (group U) with 20 patients in each group using a random number table. Patients in both groups were given general anesthesia with laryngeal mask in spontaneously breathing, ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid puncture before anesthesia induction in group U, surface anesthesia was performed by bronchoscopy after anesthesia induction in group C. Propofol and Remifentanil were infused by target-controlled infusion to maintain Bispectral index value of 40~60 during the operation. Before anesthesia induction (T0), at the time of laryngeal mask insertion (T1), at the beginning of operation (T2), at 10 min after operation beginning (T3) and at the time of laryngeal mask removal (T4), MAP, HR, SpO2, PETCO2 and Bispectral index value were recorded. Recovery time, incidence of intraoperative cough, dosage of anesthetic per unit time, satisfaction score of surgeons were also recorded.Results The MAP, HR, SpO2, PETCO2 and Bispectral index value were not statistically different at the point of time between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with group C, the incidence of choking cough, the dosage of Propofol and Remifentanil per unit time were significantly reduced, the recovery time was shortened, and the satisfaction score of surgeons was higher in group U (P < 0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with cricothyroid membrane puncture is safe, effective and has obvious advantages in bronchoscope interventional treatment.
