How to prevent and treat laryngeal spasm when using endoscopic anesthesia mask?
Publish Time: 2025-02-26
In endoscopic surgery, the anesthesia mask is an important tool to ensure that the patient's airway is unobstructed and maintain effective ventilation. However, laryngeal spasm, as a serious complication that may be encountered during endoscopic anesthesia, poses a threat to the smooth progress of the operation and the safety of the patient. Therefore, understanding how to prevent and treat laryngeal spasm is crucial to ensure the success of endoscopic surgery.The occurrence of laryngeal spasm is usually related to a variety of factors, including insufficient anesthesia depth, airway irritation, and individual differences in patients. In order to prevent the occurrence of laryngeal spasm, doctors should fully understand the patient's medical history and allergies before surgery, especially for patients with laryngeal diseases or allergic constitutions, more attention and preventive measures should be given.When using an endoscopic anesthesia mask, doctors should ensure that the mask fits the patient's face tightly to reduce gas leakage and airway irritation. At the same time, the dose and speed of anesthetic drugs should also be strictly controlled to avoid too shallow or too deep anesthesia to reduce irritation to the throat. In addition, during the operation, the doctor should closely monitor the patient's vital signs and breathing, and promptly detect and deal with any abnormalities.Once laryngeal spasm occurs, the doctor should immediately take measures to relieve it. First, all operations that may irritate the larynx, such as suctioning sputum, inserting an oropharyngeal airway, etc., should be stopped. At the same time, oxygen is given by mask pressure to maintain the patient's oxygen supply. For mild laryngeal spasm, it can be relieved by lifting the mandible and deepening anesthesia. If laryngeal spasm continues to worsen, antispasmodic drugs such as succinylcholine should be considered to relax the laryngeal muscles and relieve spasm symptoms.When dealing with laryngeal spasm, the doctor should remain calm, quickly and accurately judge the condition, and take effective treatment measures. At the same time, maintain close communication with the surgical team to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the surgical process.In addition, in order to reduce the incidence of laryngeal spasm, the doctor should also make adequate preparations before surgery, including understanding the patient's airway condition, choosing appropriate anesthesia methods and drugs, and preparing emergency equipment. After the operation, the patient should also be closely monitored and cared for to promptly detect and deal with any possible complications.In conclusion, when using endoscopic anesthesia mask, prevention and treatment of laryngeal spasm is an important part of ensuring the success of surgery and patient safety. Doctors should fully understand the causes and preventive measures of laryngeal spasm, and master the methods and techniques of treating laryngeal spasm to ensure the smooth progress of endoscopic surgery.
