Abstract

Background: Head elevation can restore airway patency during anesthesia, although its effect may be offset by concomitant bite opening or accidental neck flexion. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of head elevation on the passive upper airway collapsibility during propofol anesthesia.
Method: Twenty male subjects were studied, randomized to one of two experimental groups: fixed-jaw or free-jaw. Propofol infusion was used for induction and to maintain blood at a constant target concentration between 1.5 and 2.0 μg/ml. Nasal mask pressure (PN) was intermittently reduced to evaluate the upper airway collapsibility (passive PCRIT) and upstream resistance (RUS) at each level of head elevation (0, 3, 6, and 9 cm). The authors measured the Frankfort plane (head flexion) and the mandible plane (jaw opening) angles at each level of head elevation. Analysis of variance was used to determine the effect of head elevation on PCRIT, head flexion, and jaw opening within each group.
Results: In both groups the Frankfort plane and mandible plane angles increased with head elevation (P < 0.05), although the mandible plane angle was smaller in the free-jaw group (i.e., increased jaw opening). In the fixed-jaw group, head elevation decreased upper airway collapsibility (PCRIT ∼ −7 cm H2O at greater than 6 cm elevation) compared with the baseline position (PCRIT ∼ −3 cm H2O at 0 cm elevation; P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Elevating the head position by 6 cm while ensuring mouth closure (centric occlusion) produces substantial decreases in upper airway collapsibility and maintains upper airway patency during anesthesia.

Go Macro Bars

Go Macro Energy Bars - In fact, brown rice syrup weighs more than a lot of the opposite ingredients in these bars. So regardless that the bars comprise more oats and nuts by quantity, brown rice syrup must be listed first because it weighs more. As a side observe, I like firms that give again to society. I used to be given the opportunity to strive their three new bar flavors (despatched to me by GoMacro). It was also shocking, since these bars usually are not as candy as many other bars in the marketplace. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from their Everlasting Joy Bars goes towards feeding the homeless. It appears that evidently by regulation substances have to be listed so as of weight, and brown rice syrup could be very dense. And GoMacro selects one taste every quarter to highlight as their "Give Back Bar." They donate 10% of the gross sales of that bar to a non-revenue group. Nevertheless, I was concerned that brown rice syrup is the first ingredient in most o...
