近年来,猪在科研中的使用有所增加。然而,猪的气道解剖结构较为复杂。本实验方案通过演示如何进行内镜引导下的气管插管,旨在进一步提高实验动物的安全性,避免动物遭受痛苦和不必要的死亡。
气管插管通常是猪模型转化研究中的基本要求,适用于需要确保气道通畅或实施高通气压力的各种干预措施。气管插管是一项具有挑战性的技术, 需要在理想条件下完成最低数量的成功经气管插管以达到较高的成功率,但这一要求对于非麻醉专业的研究人员而言往往难以实现。由于猪的气道解剖结构特殊,通常可视为困难气道。无法建立可靠的气道可能导致实验动物受伤、发生不良事件甚至死亡。通过前瞻性、随机、对照的评估方法已证实,与传统插管相比,纤维支气管镜辅助经气管插管虽然耗时较长,但首次通过成功率更高,且不会引起具有临床意义的血氧饱和度下降。本模型提供了一种内镜引导下经气管插管的标准化操作方案,可为经气管插管技术经验不足的研究人员建立可靠的气道保障。 通过 直接喉镜检查。该操作旨在尽量减少动物痛苦和不必要的动物损耗。
对于需要确保气道通畅或高通气压力(如心肺复苏期间的通气1或急性呼吸窘迫综合征2)的各种干预措施,或需要避免声门上气道器械内部压迫影响脑血流3的研究而言,气管插管通常是猪模型转化研究中的基本要求。在预期猪存在困难气道的情况下,声门上气道器械有时被推荐作为替代方案4,5。
尽管猪的肺部生理特征与人类相似6,但由于猪的口咽气管解剖结构存在特定差异,气道建立有时会明显更加困难7。猪的吻部开口狭窄且舌头体积较大,喉部活动度极高,会厌相对较大,其游离端延伸至软腭。向尾侧观察,喉与气管之间形成一个钝角。杓状软骨体积较大8。气道最狭窄的部位位于声门下水平9,这与儿童的气道解剖结构相似10。由于猪的喉部活动度很高,气管导管前端可能已通过声门,但喉部被向尾侧推移数厘米,这种情况可能被误认为插管成功8,11。此外,在进行猪气道管理时,食管插管是一个常见的风险12。
困难或无法进行气管插管的发生率及其对实验的负面影响或导致早期死亡的情况尚未被系统记录,但已有若干病例报告发表13,14。在人类医学中,当常规插管意外困难时,可使用可弯曲插管内窥镜进行辅助15。此类措施之前常发生多次插管失误。在人类中,反复插管尝试与不良事件相关16,17,尤其是气道并发症18。此类事件对实验动物极为不利,因为在最简单的情况下,它们会成为实验中的混杂变量;在最严重的情况下,可能导致动物的非必要死亡。
本研究基于人类预期困难气道管理的指南建立了一种模型15,19,20,21,22,23,24。此前,已有类似技术被用于人类研究中学习纤维支气管镜插管25,26。本报告所提出的方案旨在提供一种标准化且易于调整的插管模型,使非气道专科人员也能在猪体内成功、安全地实施气管内插管。

在一项前瞻性、随机、对照研究中,对10只雄性猪(年龄12–16周,体重30 kg ± 3 kg)进行了气管插管。将猪随机分为两组:一组采用传统喉镜插管(CI组),另一组采用辅助插管 通过 根据方案中所述使用灵活插管内窥镜的一组(FIE组)。分组通过抽取密封信封完成。研究者每日随机分配。
该研究由两名具有3年以上麻醉经验、精通人类气道管理、且在猪的气管插管操作方面经验不足7个月的麻醉科实习生完成,由一名麻醉护士协助插管并评估数据(n = 2,年龄:33岁 ± 1岁,人类气管插管经验:>1,000例,人类清醒状态下纤维支气管镜插管经验:>100例)。
FIE组按照上述方案进行纤维光导辅助插管。CI组在操作上与FIE组一致,直至方案的第3.2步。此后进行如下更改:将喉镜插入会厌谷后,检查者使用一根已插入导丝的气管导管,从右侧梨状隐窝向左沿软腭作轻柔的弧形动作,将会厌推开。随后,将该气管导管经声韧带之间推进至气管内。助手撤出导丝,使用10 mL注射器充胀气管导管的气囊,并开始机械通气。

在以往的研究中,我们的研究团队已详细阐述了猪模型在转化医学中的具体优势2,27,32,33。通常情况下,降低动物的应激水平和避免不必要的疼痛应成为任何研究方案中不可或缺的部分,这对于获得可靠且可重复的数据至关重要。因此,对预计存在困难气道的猪进行清醒状态下经内镜引导的气管插管并不可行。
必须指出,对大型动物模型实施和维持麻醉应仅由经过专门培训的人员操作,或在其直接监督下进行。在规划和开展此类实验时,若未遵守此规定,可能导致动物遭受相关伤害、疼痛、应激、焦虑甚至死亡。正确摆放猪的体位对于确保充分通气、顺利进行喉镜检查以及成功插管至关重要。仰卧位便于实施本气道管理方案,并可在必要时方便后续操作,而无需重新调整动物体位8。

An erratum was issued for: Endotracheal Intubation Using a Flexible Intubation Endoscope As a Standardized Model for Safe Airway Management in Swine. The Protocol, Representative Results, and Discussion sections were updated.
In the Protocol, step 1.5 was updated from:
Disinfect the skin with a disinfectant (alcoholic) before inserting a peripheral vein cannula (22 G) into an ear vein. Spray the area, wipe once, then spray again, and allow the disinfectant to dry.
to:
Disinfect the skin with a disinfectant (alcoholic) before inserting a peripheral vein cannula (22 G) into an ear vein. Spray the area, wipe once, then spray again, and allow the disinfectant to dry. Secure the ear cannula with a band-aid (See Table of Materials).
In the Protocol, step 3.7 was updated from:
While maintaining the position of the endoscope, advance the endotracheal tube until it becomes visible in the camera image.
NOTE: If the endotracheal tube cannot be advanced through the glottic plane, there is a possibility that it has become caught on the arytenoid cartilage. In this case, the endotracheal tube must be withdrawn 1 cm and rotated by 90° before gently advancing again. If necessary, this maneuver can be repeated. Similar calibers of flexible intubation endoscope and endotracheal tube can minimize the risk of this issue occurring. If the endotracheal tube cannot be advanced despite this maneuver, it is likely that the subglottic narrowness-the narrowest part of the porcine larynx-cannot be passed. In this case, a smaller endotracheal tube size needs to be selected. Regular commercially available endotracheal tubes in sizes 6.5 cm or 7.0 cm ID should be able to pass the glottis as long as no anatomic abnormalities are present.

In the Representative Results, the sixth paragraph was updated from:
Statistical analyses were performed using commercially available software (see Table of Materials). Normal distribution was examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test28. If a normal distribution was determined, group differences were analyzed using t-tests of independent samples29 or the Mann-Whitney U test30 for the non-parametric version. Data are presented as mean (± standard deviation). Correlations of ordinal-scale data were examined using Spearman's correlation coefficient31. A significance level of p < 0.05 was assumed.

In the Representative Results, the legend for figure 1 was updated from:
Figure 1: Number of intubation attempts in group comparison. For the group that was intubated using a flexible intubation endoscope, every intubation attempt was successful; in the group that was conventionally intubated, it took an average of 1.4 attempts before the endotracheal tube could be placed correctly. Error bars show the standard deviation. Please click here to view a larger version of this figure.

In the Discussion, the fifth paragraph was updated from:
The increased duration had no clinical significance in this cohort. At no time was the termination criterion-a saturation of less than 93%-reached. This is shown in the results because a procedure change was unnecessary at any time. Prior adequate mask ventilation is a critical step to allow sufficient time for fiberoptic endotracheal tube placement to avoid rapid desaturation34. These results are consistent with previous studies comparing conventional intubation and endoscopically assisted intubations with inexperienced providers35.

Prior adequate mask ventilation is a critical step to allow sufficient time for fiberoptic endotracheal tube placement to avoid rapid desaturation34. These results are consistent with previous studies comparing conventional intubation and endoscopically assisted intubations with inexperienced providers35. We attribute the prolonged duration of fiberoptic intubation to the fact that one must first reorient again after insertion, whereas with conventional intubation, one retains a view of the glottis. It is also important to avoid contact with the mucosa with the flexible intubation endoscope during advancement. This requires occasional corrective maneuvers. Last but not least, after successful placement, retraction of the relatively long endoscope is required, which increases the time to CO2 detection slightly.
