Safety and effectiveness of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in posterior spinal surgery

Objective To explore the effect iveness and safety of ProSeal laryngeal mask(PLMA)used in posterior spinal surgery. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients of thoracic-lumbar fracture were randomly divided into PLMA group and tracheal intubation (TI) group by systematic sampling with 20 cases each. PLMA or TI was inserted after intravenous anesthesia induction. The number of intubation, intubation time and time to surgery were recorded, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded induction (To), during intubation (T1), at 1 min (T2),3 min(T3), 5 min (T4), 10 min after intubation (T5), during extubation (T6). The intubation, extubation, and the maintain ventilation process of the respiratory and respiratory damage were recorded. Results All patients in PLMA group and TI group achieved satisfactory lung ventilation at the first attempt. There were no significant difference in the number of intubation, intubation time and time to surgery between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).SBP,DBP,HR at T1,T2,T3,T6 in TI group were significandy higher than To and those in PLMA group (P＜0.05). The intubation, extubation, and the maintain ventilation process of the respiratory and respiratory damage in TI group (5,25,36 cases) were more than those in PLMA group (0,1,6 cases)(P ＜0.05).Conclusion PLMA for posterior spinal surgery is safe and effective.
