Abstract

Amaç: Obstetrik anestezide zor havayolu riski yüksektir. Fizyolojik sınırların üzerinde kilo artışı ile bu risk daha da artmaktadır. Son yıllarda bütün hasta gruplarında havayolu değerlendirilmesinde ultrasonografi sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada gebelerde fizyolojik sınırların üzerindeki kilo artışının ultrasonografi ile cilt epiglot mesafesi ölçümüne etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: 20-40 yaş arası gebeliği boyunca beklenen fizyolojik sınırda kilo artışı gösteren Grup 1 olarak isimlendirilen (n:25) ve aynı yaş grubunda gebeliği boyunca beklenenden daha fazla (fizyolojik sınır olan 15kg ve üstü) kilo artışı gösteren ve Grup 2 olarak isimlendirilen (n:25) toplam 50 gebe çalışmaya alınmıştır. Radyoloji kliniğine gebelikle ilgili rutin USG kontrolü için başvuran gebelere birinci ve üçüncü trimesterde eş zamanlı olarak boyun USG yapılarak cilt-epiglot mesafesi ölçülmüştür. 1. trimester ölçümler ‘a’, 3. trimester ölçümler ‘b’ harfi ile isimlendirilmiştir. Ultrasografik ölçümler sırasında tüm gebelerin mallampati değerlendirmesi çalışmayı bilmeyen bir anestezi uzmanı tarafından yapılmıştır. 

Bulgular: Grup 1 ve 2’de bulunan gebelerin yaş, beden kitle indeksi ve ölçülen cilt-epiglot mesafesi yönünden istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulunmuştur (P=0,293, P=0,281, P=0,515). Grup 1b ve 2b değerlendirildiğinde beden kitle indeksi ve ölçülen cilt-epiglot mesafesi değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış tespit edildi (P<0,001). 

Sonuç: Üçüncü trimesterde preoperatif havayolu değerlendirilmesinde, özellikle fizyolojik sınırların üstünde kilo alımı olan gebelerde non-invaziv bir teknik olaran ultrasonografi ile cilt epiglot mesafesi ölçümü ve mallampatinin birlikte değerlendirilmesi zor havayolu tahmininde güvenilir bir belirteçtir.

The measurement of skin to epiglottis length for difficult airway prediction by ultrasonography in obese pregnant women: Prospective cohort study

Abstract

Aim: The risk of difficult airway is high in obstetric anesthesia, and weight gain above physiological limits further increases this risk. Ultrasonography (USG) has often been used recently in airway evaluation of all patient groups. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of weight gain beyond physiological limits on the measurement of the distance of the skin-to epiglottis (DSE) with USG.

Methods: 50 pregnant women aged between 20-40 years, half of which had gained weight within physiological limits during pregnancy (<15kg) (Group 1) and the other half whose weight gain was equal to or greater than 15 kilograms (Group 2) were included in this study. The measurements were labelled as “a” and “b” for the first and third trimesters. Mallampati evaluation was made during ultrasonographic measurements in all pregnant patients by an anesthesiologist blinded to the study. 

Results: No statistically significant difference was determined between the Group 1 and Group 2 pregnant patients with respect to age, BMI, and distance of skin to epiglottis (DSE) values (P=0.293, P=0.281, P=0.515). A statistically significant increase in BMI and DSE was detected in Group 2b when compared to Group 1b (both: P<0.001). 

Conclusion: Ultrasonographic DSE measurement in pregnant women with weight gain above the physiological limit during pregnancy may be used to predict difficult airways when utilized together with Mallampati scoring, especially during the third trimester.
