PURPOSE: Difficult airway teams (DATs) are typically present to assist intubation at the initial mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) operation for infants with Robin sequence (RS). In some institutions, the RS diagnosis triggers a "difficult airway" label for the infant, requiring DAT presence for future operations. By the time of distractor removal, however, breathing and airway anatomy are significantly improved. The objective of this study was to measure intubation difficulty and perioperative respiratory complications at MDO device removal as a proxy for the necessity for coordination with a DAT.
METHODS: This is a retrospective study including infants with RS from 2013 to 2021 who had MDO during infancy. Patients were excluded if they had a tracheostomy or MDO device failure. Predictor variables included demographic data, comorbidities, and apnea-hypopnea indices (AHIs) from pre- and immediate post-MDO polysomnograms. The primary outcome measures were number of intubation attempts, laryngoscopy grade, and perioperative respiratory events at the distractor removal operation. Descriptive statistics were computed including Fisher's exact, paired sample t-tests, and Wilcoxon rank tests, and P < .05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: The sample included 47 (60% male) patients with a mean age at MDO of 12.0 ± 15.7 weeks. Significant improvement in AHI was seen after MDO (pre-MDO: 26.8 ± 18.4 events/hour; post-MDO 2.78 ± 2.66 events/hour; P < .001). Average number of intubation attempts decreased from 2.09 ± 1.36 to 1.30 ± 0.75 (P < .001) and the most common post-MDO laryngoscopy grade was 1 (69%). There were no intraoperative and 2 (4%) minor postoperative respiratory events, both in patients with repaired congenital cardiac disease and not related to traumatic intubation.
CONCLUSION: Neither difficult intubations nor perioperative respiratory events associated with intubation trauma were seen at distractor removal, suggesting that specialty airway assistance is not routinely needed after successful MDO. DAT presence should be determined on a case-by-case basis based on specific patient risk factors.
