In this chapter, flow-controlled ventilation via the ultrathin Tritube® is compared to more traditional methods for oropharyngeal and laryngeal surgery. The main advantages are optimal surgical space combined with a tight seal of the patient’s airway. The Tritube® with an internal diameter of 2.4 mm is considerably smaller compared to a standardized tube size 6.0 mm (outer diameter 8.8 mm), accordingly the surgical field is more exposed to the ENT surgeon. The Tritube® with a high-volume-low-tension cuff provides a secure airway for the patient with a high risk of aspiration and the risk of bacterial and viral aerosol spread is minimized. Adverse events and obstacles and how to tackle them are mentioned.

摘要

In this chapter, flow-controlled ventilation via the ultrathin Tritube® is compared to more traditional methods for oropharyngeal and laryngeal surgery. The main advantages are optimal surgical space combined with a tight seal of the patient’s airway. The Tritube® with an internal diameter of 2.4 mm is considerably smaller compared to a standardized tube size 6.0 mm (outer diameter 8.8 mm), accordingly the surgical field is more exposed to the ENT surgeon. The Tritube® with a high-volume-low-tension cuff provides a secure airway for the patient with a high risk of aspiration and the risk of bacterial and viral aerosol spread is minimized. Adverse events and obstacles and how to tackle them are mentioned.
