The Hunsaker Mon-Jet ventilation tube for microlaryngeal surgery: optimal laryngeal exposure.

摘要: Methods of delivering and monitoring anesthesia during microlaryngeal surgery are constantly evolving. In 1994, Hunsaker colleagues introduced a laser-safe subglottic Mon-Jet ventilation tube, which has the ability to periodically measure end-tidal carbon dioxide levels. We conducted retrospective review 84 consecutive patients who had undergone procedures with aid tube. Study parameters included length anesthetic induction recovery times, duration surgery, degree surgical access larynx, incidence complications. found that times use tube were comparable those seen standard endotracheal intubation. also observed an apparent reduction in time consistent subjective improvement visualization access. The complication rate was acceptable, airway control adequate, safe all patients. conclude is effective jet system it distinct advantages over other methods for both surgeon anesthesiologist.
