BACKGROUND: Anesthetic exposure during childhood is significantly associated with impairment of neurodevelopmental outcomes; however, the causal relationship and detailed mechanism of developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity remain unclear. Gut microbiota produces various metabolites and influences the brain function and development of the host. This relationship is referred to as the gut-brain axis. Gut microbiota may influence developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity caused by sevoflurane exposure. This study investigated the effect of changes in the composition of gut microbiota after fecal microbiota transplantation on spatial learning disability caused by developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity in neonatal rats. METHODS: Neonatal rats were allocated into the Control (n = 10) and Sevo (n = 10) groups in Experiment 1 and the Sevo (n = 20) and Sevo+FMT (n = 20) groups in Experiment 2, according to the randomly allocated mothers' group. The rats in Sevo and Sevo+FMT groups were exposed to 2.1% sevoflurane for 2 hours on postnatal days 7 to 13. Neonatal rats in the Sevo+FMT group received fecal microbiota transplantation immediately after sevoflurane exposure on postnatal days 7 to 13. The samples for fecal microbiota transplantation were obtained from nonanesthetized healthy adult rats. Behavioral tests, including Open field, Y-maze, Morris water maze, and reversal Morris water maze tests, were performed to evaluate spatial learning ability on postnatal days 26 to 39. RESULTS: Experiment 1 revealed that sevoflurane exposure significantly altered the gut microbiota composition. The relative abundance of Roseburia (effect value: 1.01) and Bacteroides genus (effect value: 1.03) increased significantly after sevoflurane exposure, whereas that of Lactobacillus (effect value: -1.20) decreased significantly. Experiment 2 revealed that fecal microbiota transplantation improved latency to target (mean ± SEM; Sevo group: 9.7 ± 8.2 seconds vs, Sevo+FMT group: 2.7 ± 2.4 seconds, d=1.16, 95% confidence interval: -12.7 to -1.3 seconds, P = .019) and target zone crossing times (Sevo group: 2.4 ± 1.6 vs, Sevo+FMT group: 5.4 ± 1.4, d=1.99, 95% confidence interval: 2.0-5.0, P < .001) in the reversal Morris water maze test. Microbiota analysis revealed that the α-diversity of gut microbiota increased after fecal microbiota transplantation. Similarly, the relative abundance of the Firmicutes phylum (effect value: 1.44), Ruminococcus genus (effect value: 1.69), and butyrate-producing bacteria increased after fecal microbiota transplantation. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation increased the fecal concentration of butyrate and induced histone acetylation and the mRNA expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus, thereby suppressing neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: The alternation of gut microbiota after fecal microbiota transplantation influenced spatial learning ability in neonatal rats with developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity. Modulation of the gut microbiota may be an effective prophylaxis for developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity in children.

Abstract

The supraglottic airway (SGA) is widely used. I-gel Plus is a next-generation i-gel with some improvements, including facilitation of fiberoptic tracheal intubation (FOI). To compare the performance of i-gel Plus and standard i-gel as conduits for FOI, a Thiel-embalmed cadaveric study was conducted. Twenty-two anesthesiologists were enrolled as operators in Experiment 1. The i-gel Plus and standard i-gel were inserted into one cadaver, and the FOI was performed through each SGA. The primary outcome was time required for FOI. The secondary outcomes were the number of attempts and visual analog scale (VAS) score for difficulty in FOI. Moreover, fiberoptic views of the vocal cords in each SGA were assessed by an attending anesthesiologist using nine cadavers in Experiment 2. The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score without fiberscope tip upward flexion and upward angle of the fiberscope tip to obtain a 100% POGO score were evaluated as secondary outcomes. The time for FOI through i-gel Plus was significantly shorter than that through standard i-gel (median (IQR), i-gel Plus: 30.3 (25.4–39.0) s, vs standard i-gel: 54.7 (29.6–135.0) s; median of differences, 24.4 s; adjusted 95% confidence interval, 3.0–105.7; adjusted P = 0.040). Although the number of attempts for successful FOI was not significantly different, the VAS score for difficulty in the i-gel Plus group was significantly lower (easier) than that in the standard i-gel group. Moreover, i-gel Plus required a significantly smaller upward angle of the fiberscope tip to obtain a 100% POGO score. FOI can be performed more easily using i-gel Plus than using standard i-gel because of the improved fiberoptic visibility of vocal cords.

Abstract

Background

Tracheal stenosis is a life-threatening condition, and management of a patient with a risk of tracheal stenosis is challenging for anesthesiologists. In this report, we describe a method for airway management using two gum elastic bougie method when removing a tracheal stent via a tracheostomy orifice with a risk of airway restenosis.

Case presentation

A 71-year-old man had an enlarged squamous cell carcinoma of the lung invading the upper mediastinum that had caused severe stenosis of the trachea. Two months after diagnosis, a tracheal stent had been placed to maintain tracheal patency. One month after stent placement, acute respiratory failure was induced by upper airway obstruction caused by subglottic airway edema due to mechanical stimulation of the cranial end of the stent, and the patient was rescued by oral tracheal intubation. Tracheal stent extraction was scheduled to relieve the laryngeal edema. Since there was a risk of tracheal restenosis because of the possibility of accidental evulsion of the orally tracheal tube which intubated to secure an emergency airway and tracheal stent extraction, two gum elastic bougies were inserted through the oral tracheal tube and tracheostomy orifice to facilitate re-intubation. After extraction of the tracheal stent, airway openness was maintained and tracheostomy was completed without any complication.

Conclusion

Successful management of tracheal stent extraction was performed using a double gum elastic bougie technique.
