ABSTRACT
Objective:
To summarize our experience on anesthesia management of patients who suffered from cervical spine injury after earthquake.Methods:
The anesthesia management data of the 6 patients suffering from cervical spine injury during Wenchuan Earthquake (May 12,2008,China) were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
After antishock treatment and stabilization of vital signs, the 6 patients underwo nt surgery under general anesthesia in an open field hospital (intubation was conducted with slow induction) or in our hospital (intubation was conducted with bronchofibroscope). During operation the patients showed smooth respiratory and cardiovascular characteristics, and recovered well after operation.Conclusion:
Under the field condition, intubation with slow induction is a good choice for patients with cervical spine injury; while in a hospital, intubation with bronchofibroscope should be chosen because it causes less movement of cervical spine.
