Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients undergoing Endovascular treatment (EVT) for unruptured cerebrovascular aneurysms were randomized to secure the airway with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA, a supraglottic airway device which is frequently used to secure airway for general anesthesia, and also as an alternative to tracheal tube for difficult airway interventions) or tracheal tube (TT). LMA is placed after the induction of general anesthesia, and removed at the end of the procedure, which means after the surgery and/ or intervention is completed, anesthesia is discontinued and the patient is awaked, the same conditions for TT. Anesthesia was induced with propofol and fentanyl and maintained with remifentanil/propofol-based intravenous anesthesia. Rocuronium ( a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker, 0.6 mg/kg intravenously, after the induction of general anesthesia, additional doses were not given) was used in group TT to facilitate tracheal intubation. Hemodynamic parameters were measured before and after airway management and throughout the procedure. After the procedure, recovery times were measured. Respiratory events were recorded.
Intervention code [1] 298902 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
TT is placed by an anaesthesiologist in the trachea using a laryngoscope ( tracheal intubation) in the TTgroup (control group) . The device remains in place until the end of the anaesthesia. The device is removed after the completion of radiological intervention and anesthesia when the extubation criteria have fulfilled.

Active

Summary
Brief summary
When reviewing the literature, it is noteworthy that tracheal intubation with neuromuscular blocking agents has been generally proposed to secure the airway for controlled ventilation, as in neurosurgery. It is also well known that tracheal intubation and direct laryngoscopy have harmful effects on hemodynamic parameters during intubation and extubation periods that may cause ICP elevation and a ruptured aneurysm. There are few prospective, randomized studies that have investigated the availability of supraglottic airway devices in the EVT setting. Only one report indicated that LMA was safely used in three patients undergoing EVT of unruptured cerebral aneurysms .
In this prospective, randomized study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) versus a tracheal tube (TT) could result in a lower incidence of hemodynamic changes, decrease the number of respiratory events, and secure the airway as well as the TT in patients undergoing EVT for a cerebrovascular aneurysm
