Abstract

Airway obstruction during anesthesia is a common occurrence with potentially serious outcomes. Increasingly, patients are older, heavier, and more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea-all heightened risk factors for airway complications. These patients undergo procedures where distal pharyngeal tissues can relax, obstructing the airway. As a result, there is a need for airway devices that can stent open distal pharyngeal tissues to maintain adequate ventilation. To physically address this problem, the new distal pharyngeal airway (DPA) prevents airway obstruction and enables providers to maintain ventilation.

介绍第一咽部远端气道。

麻醉期间气道阻塞是一种常见的情况，具有潜在的严重后果。越来越多的患者年龄更大、体重更重，更有可能患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停——所有这些都增加了气道并发症的危险因素。这些病人接受手术时，远端咽组织会松弛，阻塞气道。因此，需要气道装置，可以支架打开咽远端组织，以保持足够的通气。为了从物理上解决这个问题，新的咽部远端气道(DPA)可以防止气道阻塞并使提供者保持通气。

期刊介绍： A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
