  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-breathing disorder associated with significant comorbidities and perioperative complications. This narrative review is aimed at comprehensively overviewing preoperative risk evaluation and perioperative management strategies for patients with OSA. OSA is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep leading to hypoxemia and arousal. Anatomical features, such as upper airway narrowing and obesity, contribute to the development of OSA. OSA can be diagnosed based on polysomnography findings, and positive airway pressure therapy is the mainstay of treatment. However, alternative therapies, such as oral appliances or upper airway surgery, can be considered for patients with intolerance. Patients with OSA face perioperative challenges due to difficult airway management, comorbidities, and effects of sedatives and analgesics. Anatomical changes, reduced upper airway muscle tone, and obesity increase the risks of airway obstruction, and difficulties in intubation and mask ventilation. OSA-related comorbidities, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, further increase perioperative risks. Sedatives and opioids can exacerbate respiratory depression and compromise airway patency. Therefore, careful consideration of alternative pain management options is necessary. Although the association between OSA and postoperative mortality remains controversial, concerns exist regarding adverse outcomes in patients with OSA. Understanding the pathophysiology of OSA, implementing appropriate preoperative evaluations, and tailoring perioperative management strategies are vital to ensure patient safety and optimize surgical outcomes.

  • The purpose of this study was to develope the Complete Airway Obstruction Maneuver Training Program and identify its effects on learning motivation, knowledge and skill of choking management in the primary school students. The subjects for the experimental group of 38 students and the control group of 39 students, all of whom are primary school students in Gwangju, the Republic of Korea. A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used and data were collected from November to December, 2003. During about 2 weeks, 2 times for a week with 80 minutes at a time, the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program was conducted in the experimental group. Experimental data were analyzed through SPSS/win 11.0 PC+, and the tests examining general characteristics between the experimental group and the control group were conducted through $x^2$-test. Fisher's exact probability test and t-test, and identifying the effect of the complete airway obstruction Maneuver training program was analysed through t-test and ANCOVA. The results of the study were as follows: 1. After intervention on the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program, Learning motivation in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. 2. After intervention on the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program, knowledge of choking management the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(F=223.637, p=.000). 3. After intervention on the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program, skill of choking management the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=46.800, p=.014). These findings suggest that the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program can facilitate learning motivation, knowledge and skill of choking management in the primary school students. Therefore it is considered that the complete airway obstruction maneuver training program can be utilized as a effective way to implement the 7th national curriculum for creative extra-activities.

  • Although sevoflurane sedation have the advantage of the reduction of anxiety and pain relief, difficult airway is attributed to increased agitation, tachycardia, desaturation, ventilation difficulty, sedation failure. In the sedation for dental treatment, we should pay more attention to the airway management because dental procedures take place in the mouth of airway unlike any other area. The layngeal mask airway (LMA) has become commonly used device for airway management during anesthesia for relatively short procedures, such as minor oral surgery and dental procedures. It can be inserted without use of a larygoscope and muscle relexants, and insertion is easy to achieve and generally takes less time than endotracheal intubation. The LMA is an excellent barrier against aspiration of saliva, blood within the surgical field but should not be used in patients at risk of aspiration In this study, we reported that after a failure of airway management in inhalation sedation, we performed the short-emergency dental treatment successfully, using a laryngeal mask.

  • Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to treat upper airway obstruction. In particular, patients with head and neck cancer may require elective or emergency tracheostomy because of airway obstruction due to massive bleeding of the intraoral tumor mass and rapid growth of the tumor mass in the neck area. Here, we report four cases of tracheostomy in patients with head and neck cancer with narrowed airway space and difficulty in breathing. Based on these cases and a literature review, we recommend that oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental anesthesiologists should cooperate closely and determine the appropriate timing to perform definitive airway management for such patients during palliative treatment, along with continuous evaluation of tumor location, risk of recurrence, and airway involvement.

  • We experienced failed airway management in a patient who had partial mandibulectomy and reconstruction with free-flap. 40 year-old man (height: 164 cm, body weight: 59 kg) with malignant melanoma on #38 tooth area of mandibular body was scheduled for partial mandibulectomy and reconstruction with free flap. Approximately fifteen-hours after surgery, the patient was extubated without complication. Seven hours after extubation, we experienced respiratory failure andfailed airway managementdue to airway edema and neck. We failed orotracheal intubation with direct laryngoscopy andlaryngeal mask airway, thus we tried tracheostomy but the patient was hypoxic state for more than 30 minutes. The patient had got hypoxic brain damage in whole cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. We should have the policy of airway management of the patients who have massive oro-maxillo-facial surgery and all medical personnel who treat these patients should be educated the policy and airway management methods.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the data from public information disclosure about pre-hospital advanced airway management and identify the problem by considering domestic laws and guidelines. Methods: Data were collected between 2017 and 2018 and analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Then, the problems of the analysis results based on the relevant laws and practical guidelines were reviewed. Results: The review of domestic laws and practice guidelines revealed that ambulance nurses can implement supraglottic airway device only under the following three conditions: ① smart advanced life support pilot project area, ② trained to insert I-Gel, and ③ member of a special ambulance. In total, 21,574 cases of advanced airway management (endotracheal intubation: 2,428, I-Gel: 18,502, LMA : 499, KING AIRWAY: 144) were reported. In many cases, advanced airway management was performed by ambulance nurses who did not meet the above conditions, which was in violation of laws and guidelines. In addition, the prognosis of intubated patients was not followed up. Conclusion: The Korea National Fire Agency must stop all unlicensed medical practice by untrained, uneducated, and uncertified nurses and demand quality control programs for intubated patients.

  • Airway obstruction in pediatric patients always poses a challenge for anesthesiologists. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome causes various abnormalities such as macroglossia and omphalocele. Patients with these abnormalities often need corrective surgeries. Management of difficult airway caused by conditions such as macroglossia in patients with this syndrome could be challenging. We encountered a case of difficult airway in an infant with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. It was predicted that macroglossia might cause difficult ventilation, intubation, and extubation. Preoperative assessment and preparations for difficult airway should be considered.

  • Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a disease characterized by dilation of the trachea and mainstem bronchi. Due to the risk of airway leakage, pulmonary aspiration, and tracheal damage, MKS can be fatal in patients undergoing tracheal intubation. Moreover, MKS may not be diagnosed preoperatively due to its rarity. In this case, a patient undergoing neurosurgery was incidentally diagnosed with MKS during general anesthesia. During anesthesia induction, difficulties in airway management led the anesthesiologist to suspect MKS. Airway leakage was resolved in this case using oropharyngeal gauze packing. Anesthesiologists should be aware of the possibility of MKS and appropriate management of the airways.
