Abstract:【Objective】To compare the effect of the I-gel and the Air-Q on children's painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy examination.【Methods】A total of 100 children undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the I-gel laryngeal mask group(group I)and the Air-Q laryngeal mask group(group A).After rapid induction of anesthesia until the jaw was relaxed,the I-gel was inserted in group I,and the Air-Q was inserted in group A.After the laryngeal mask was put in place,fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed.The mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)before anesthesia induction(T0),after laryngeal mask placement(T1),and after laryngeal mask removal(T2)were recorded.The time and times of laryngeal mask insertion,the glottis and epiglottis seen directly under the bronchoscope in each case was observed and recorded.Intraoperative laryngeal mask displacement,operator satisfaction,postoperative sore throat and hoarseness were recorded.【Results】All 100 patients completed laryngeal mask implantation and fiberoptic bronchoscopy.There were no statistically significant differences in MAP and HR between the two groups before anesthesia induction(T0),immediately after laryngeal mask implantation(T1),and immediately after laryngeal mask extraction(T2)(P>0.05).The insertion time of laryngeal mask in the I-gel group and the Air-Q group was 9.61±3.52 s and 17.33±9.36 s,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),while the difference was not statistically significant in the glottis exposure after fiberoptic bronchoscope implantation and operation time of fiberoptic bronchoscope(P>0.05).The number of successful implantation in group I was less than that in group A(P<0.05).The number of laryngeal mask adjustments in group I was less than that in group A(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in operator satisfaction between the two groups(P>0.05).The postoperative sore throat was better in group I than in group A,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).【Conclusion】Both I-gel and Air-Q can create good operating conditions for bronchoscopy in children.However,the placement of the I-gel is more convenient,less displacement occurs during the operation,less intraoperative adjustment times and less incidence of postoperative laryngeal pain,so it is more suitable for children's fibrobronchoscopy.
