Filter by:To compare the effects of i-gel and Ambu AuraGain on ventilation parameters and surgical view during Trendelenburg position laparoscopic gynecological surgery in cases administered positive pressure ventilation without the use of neuromuscular agents.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate ease and duration of placing Laryngeal Mask Supreme (LM) and applying I-gel in geriatric patients without teeth. The secondary aim is to compare their effects on ventilation parameters.
High flow nasal cannula oxygen has been proposed to perform preoxygenation in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring orotracheal intubation in intensive care units. However, its use for preoxygenation before the induction of general anaesthesia in operating room has never been evaluated in term of end tidal oxygen fraction which is the gold standard measurement during preoxygenation before general anaesthesia. The goal of the present study is to measure end tidal oxygen after 3 min of preoxygenation using the recommended method (spontaneous breathing of 100% inhaled oxygen through a face mask) and using high flow nasal canula oxygen, in healthy volunteers.
Background: Earlier treatment and resolution for patients with cerebral aneurysms is now possible due to earlier diagnosis. This observational study aims to evaluate the intraoperative cardiovascular parameters in patients with cerebral aneurysms undergoing endovascular therapy. Method: This is an observational prospective study. Patients ≥ 18 years old diagnosed with an unruptured cerebral aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) (Hunt & Hess grade I or II) undergoing endovascular treatment under general anesthesia between April 2015 and February 2017 were included. Non-invasive measurements of hemodynamic variables were collected at six time points during the procedure (T1 to T6). Statistical analysis was performed by using central tendency measures for quantitative variables and absolute / relative frequency measurements for qualitative variables.
The purpose of the study conducted at VA Medical Center in Miami is to determine if smoking electronic cigarettes (known as e-cigarettes) that contain nicotine have less negative effects than regular cigarettes on the person's respiratory health. We will assess this by measuring pulmonary function tests, several body molecules and functionality of the airway cells. We will also evaluate how smokers can maintain exclusive electronic cigarettes use. In this study, some people will continue to smoke regular tobacco cigarettes while others will switch to a nicotine-containing electronic cigarette.
A randomized controlled prospective study of laryngoscopy and evaluation of the Intraoperative nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery comparing direct laryngoscopy and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.
To compare the effects of i-gel and Laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMA-Supreme) on ventilation parameters and surgical view during Trendelenburg Position laparoscopic gynecological surgery in cases administered positive pressure ventilation without the use of neuromuscular agents.
The Aim of the study is to compare the clinical performance of p-LMA, i-gel and LTS-D in terms of the efficacy and safety in anaesthetized patient on Mechanical ventilation undergoing elective surgical procedure.
The LMA ProtectorTM is a new extraglottic airway device which brings together features of both the LMA ProSealTM (high seal cuff, gastric access and bite block - to facilitate ventilation, airway protection and airway obstruction, respectively) and the LMA UniqueTM (single use - prevention of disease transmission). In the following randomized study the investigators test the hypothesis that ease of insertion, oropharyngeal leak pressure, fiberoptic position and ease of gastric tube placement differ between the LMA ProtectorTM and the Ambu AuraGainTM in paralyzed, anesthetized patients.
High flow oxygen results in better oxygenation in emergency cases needing rapid sequence induction for anaesthesia. Secondary outcome measure is time for any desaturation.
