Analyses of risk factors for postoperative airway compromise following arytenoid adduction.

摘要

CONCLUSION: This study suggests that placing no drainage tube and postoperative bleeding are risk factors for postoperative airway compromise (PAC) following arytenoid adduction (AA). OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to elucidate the risk factors for PAC following AA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The data for 184 consecutive patients who underwent AA were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate and forward stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Placing no drainage tube was a significant risk factor for PAC as determined by both univariate and multivariate analyses. Postoperative bleeding was a significant risk factor for severe airway compromise requiring emergency airway treatment.
