Brief Summary

The investigators applied upper airway ultrasonographic examination focusing the measurement of upper airway diameters in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery to evaluate the change of upper airway anatomy before and after the surgery. The investigators also tried to find any findings of ultrasonographic examination that could reliably predict the dyspnea or airway compression after extubation. The investigators tried to compare the ultrasonographic findings with those of chest radiograph to validate the measurements of the ultrasonographic examination. A cuff leak test was preformed to evaluate its ability to predict the upper airway obstruction in shoulder arthroscopic surgery.

Conditions

Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery

Keywords

shoulder arthroscopic surgery; dyspnea; airway diameter

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Airway transverse diameter

  airway transverses diameter measured on the upper airway ultrasonographic image: measure at three level (vocal cord, subglottis, trachea)

  10 min before anesthesia induction

• Airway transverse diameter

  airway transverses diameter measured on the upper airway ultrasonographic image: measure at three level (vocal cord, subglottis, trachea)

  20 min after end of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• depth of skin to airway anterior border

  10 min before anesthesia induction and 20 min after the surgery

• depth of skin to pleura

  10 min before anesthesia induction and 20 min after the end of surgery

• endotracheal tube balloon cuff pressure

  10 min after anesthesia induction and 60 min after surgery start

• percent cuff leak

  10 min after anesthesia induction and 60 min after surgery start
