Management of Refractory Laryngospasm.
Journal of Voice 2021 July
Laryngospasm has been well described in patients emerging from general anesthesia (GA) and is routinely managed with intermittent positive-pressure mask ventilation, a temporary increase in the depth of anesthesia, or small, titrated amounts of succinylcholine. Patients with severe laryngospasm require reintubation to maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilation. However, reintubation may be only a temporary solution because laryngospasm may recur during re-emergence and re-extubation; thus, anesthesiologists need a comprehensive plan that addresses potential causes of laryngospasm and incorporates continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for patients with difficulty emerging from GA. Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) is a noninvasive ventilation and oxygenation technique used to provide apneic oxygenation, which also generates CPAP. THRIVE uses a high-flow nasal cannula and is more easily tolerated than CPAP with a tight-fitting mask. To our knowledge, we present the first case of refractory laryngospasm during emergence from GA that was successfully managed with THRIVE.
