{"title":"Standard technique versus rotational technique of insertion of Baska mask®","authors":"Sheetal, Seema Jindal, G. Sidhu, S. Jindal, Sandeep Kaur","doi":"10.4103/arwy.arwy_1_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/arwy.arwy_1_23","url":null,"abstract":"Background and Aims: Baska Mask® is a new third-generation supraglottic airway device (SGAD). The placement of Baska Mask® using the standard technique causes posterior displacement of the tongue, leading to incorrect positioning and insertion failure. The rotation technique may alleviate this obstacle during insertion by decreasing resistance between the airway and tongue. The primary objective of this study was to compare the insertion time between the standard versus rotational technique of Baska Mask®, and the secondary outcome measures were ease of insertion, number of attempts and postoperative airway morbidity with both techniques. Methods: One hundred consenting adults of the American Society of Anaesthesiologists I-II, aged 20–65 years of either gender scheduled for a variety of surgical procedures under general anaesthesia in a tertiary care hospital (May 2019 to November 2020), were included in the study. The patients were randomly allocated to Group S and Group R using the standard and rotation techniques, respectively. All statistical analyses were done using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software. The comparison of quantitative variables between the study groups was done using the Student's t-test and Mann–Whitney test. For comparing categorical data, the Chi-square χ2 test was performed. Results: The mean insertion time was significantly higher with the standard compared to the rotation technique of Baska Mask (20.90 ± 3.13 vs. 14.84 ± 1.11 s, P = 0.000). Device insertion was easy in rotation compared to the standard technique (P = 0.031). The number of attempts required for insertion was more with the standard technique than with the rotation technique (P = 0.011). Conclusion: Although the standard technique of Baska Mask® remains the first choice, the rotational technique of Baska Mask® has a higher success of insertion with fewer complications than the standard technique; hence, it can be accepted as an alternative.","PeriodicalId":7848,"journal":{"name":"Airway Pharmacology and Treatment","volume":"57 1","pages":"17 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85958747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kundra","doi":"10.4103/arwy.arwy_3_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/arwy.arwy_3_23","url":null,"abstract":"Machine learning is artificial intelligence (AI) which can predict the output variable with the fed input features. This allows computers to learn from experience without being programmed. The outcome variable in machine learning algorithm may be continuous variable or categorical variable. Supervised machine learning is commonly applied artificial intelligence (AI) in medical field. Decision tree, gradient boost machine (GBM) learning, extreme GBM (XGBM), Support vector machine, K nearest neighbour and multi-layer perceptron are few machine learning algorithms which are being utilised to address the classification and regression problems. Though the incidence of difficult intubation (DI) is rare, occurrence of such event in an unanticipated situation can result in development of arrhythmias due to desaturation and cardiac arrest if not intervened on time. It is preferred to choose the physical parameters that can predict the difficult airway more accurately in clinical scenario and train the algorithm rather than including all the non-specific parameters. Body mass index (BMI) [>30 kg.m-2: anticipated difficult mask ventilation (DMV), direct laryngoscopy (DL) and DI], inter-insicor distance (IID) (<2 cm: anticipated DL), modified Mallampati (MMP) (Grade 1 and 2: Ease of intubation; Grade 3 and 4: anticipated DI), temporomandibular distance (TMD) (<6.5 cm - anticipated DI), restriction of neck extension (if present: anticipated DL and DI), receded mandible (if present: anticipated DL and DI), and poor submandibular space compliance (if present: anticipated DL and DI) parameters which are used to predict DA by clinical assessment, can be used to feed to train the machine learning algorithm. Despite using these sophisticated tools, extubation may fail and patients require reintubation in ICU. It is very challenging to assess the lung compliance in spontaneously breathing patients as compliance will be overestimated due to generation of negative pressure. Cause for which patient has been placed on mechanical ventilation is resolved/resolving, BMI (>30 kg.m-2), intact sensorium (absence of delirium), absence of consolidation, absence of copious secretions, oxygenation status (PaO2/FiO2: >250), ventilation status (paCO2: 30-45 mmHg), measure of work of breathing (respiratory rate, rapid shallow breathing index), heart rate and blood pressure during spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and diaphragmatic thickness fraction can be used as input features to predict the success of extubation in critically ill patients. With widespread utility of applications in medical fraternity, applications for prediction of difficult airway (or for weaning success) can be programmed which can be accessed by the clinicians to predict DA, thereby all the preparations for managing DA may be done to prevent adverse consequences of unanticipated difficult airway.","PeriodicalId":7848,"journal":{"name":"Airway Pharmacology and Treatment","volume":"51 1","pages":"4 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81675457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
