The aim of this systematic review was to discuss case reports describing the use of sugammadex as a rescue reversal in CICV scenarios and analyze the influencing factors potentially shaping the outcome of such reversal. The study has been registered on International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42024514255). We conducted a systematic review of the literature using PubMed, Medline, and Embase. Records were included if they were case reports or case series published in peer-reviewed journals, describing the administration of sugammadex as a rescue reversal in CICV scenarios, and including clinical outcomes and details of the management. Sources were last searched on November 30, 2023. The articles selected were initially screened based on their titles and abstracts, and then complete articles were examined to determine their eligibility and compliance with the inclusion criteria. Two independent authors evaluated the quality of the individual studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports. Eight articles were included in our review. In all patients, CICV scenarios were declared minutes following induction. In 6/8 cases (75%), adequate spontaneous ventilation was restored after the administration of sugammadex. In the remaining 2 cases, sugammadex administration resulted in an obstructed pattern of breathing, and surgical airway was the successful rescue technique. There was wide variability in the sugammadex dose with a median (range) of 14 (5-16) mg.kg-1 and median timing (range) from rocuronium administration of 6 (2-10) minutes. This case-report-based review is susceptible to reporting bias and may not encompass all pertinent data and adverse events. Also, cases with both favorable and unfavorable outcomes may have not been published, and the heterogeneity of cases limits the ability to draw definitive conclusions.

In the pediatric population, tracheobronchomalacia is increasingly recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality.

Over the last decade, select US pediatric institutions have devoted significant resources to the establishment of dedicated surgery and anesthesia teams and the development of novel techniques for the successful identification, assessment, and surgical correction of tracheobronchomalacia in a highly complex subset of the pediatric population. The close communication, collaboration, and evolution of anesthesia techniques to meet the unique requirements of new surgical procedures have greatly improved patient safety and optimized outcomes. More than 800 cases have been performed across 2 US pediatric institutions using these techniques.

In addition, this article describes novel anesthesia techniques developed specifically to facilitate optimal diagnosis of tracheobronchomalacia and intraoperative management of posterior tracheopexy and similar airway surgeries. These include methods to safely enable 3-phase rigid dynamic bronchoscopy for accurate tracheobronchomalacia diagnosis, recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring during cervical and thoracic surgical dissection, continuous intraoperative bronchoscopy to enable real-time images during airway reconstruction, and intraoperative assessment of airway repair adequacy to ensure successful correction of tracheobronchomalacia.</p>","PeriodicalId":7784,"journal":{"name":"Anesthesia and analgesia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142374893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we summarize current laboratory and clinical data. Taken together, preclinical studies suggest some biologic plausibility that cancer cell function could be influenced. However, available clinical evidence suggests a neutral effect. Observational studies examining cancer outcomes after surgery of curative intent for many cancer types under a variety of anesthetic techniques have reported conflicting results, but warranting prospective randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Given the large patient numbers and long follow-up times required for adequate power, relatively few such RCTs have been completed to date. With the sole exception of peritumoral lidocaine infiltration in breast cancer surgery, these RCTs have indicated a neutral effect of anesthetic technique on long-term oncologic outcomes.
