Anaesthesia and Intensive Care [PDF]
The anaesthetist has seen his role steadily expand and it is hard to think of one medical specialty in which anaesthetists are not involved at least to some extent.

Comparing the effect of using normal saline, N-acetyl cysteine and not using them in endotracheal tube suction on physiologic parameters and the amount of secretions in intubated patients under mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Aims: Today a large number of patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit need mechanical ventilation via an artificial air way. Since these patients have endotracheal tube, endotracheal suctioning is necessary for increasing oxygenation, cleaning the ...

Randomized clinical trial of the i-gel™ and Magill tracheal tube or single-use ILMA™ and ILMA™ tracheal tube for blind intubation in anaesthetized patients with a predicted difficult airway [PDF]
Background The single-use supraglottic airway device i-gel™ has been described in several case reports as a conduit for intubation, but no prospective data about success rates of blind intubation are available.

First clinical experience of tracheal intubation with the SensaScope®, a novel steerable semirigid video stylet [PDF]
Background. Problems with tracheal intubation are a major cause of anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Difficulty with tracheal intubation is primarily a consequence of failure to see the vocal cords with conventional direct laryngoscopy.

Stimulation induced variability of pulse plethysmography does not discriminate responsiveness to intubation [PDF]
Background. Hypnotic depth but not haemodynamic response to painful stimulation can be measured with various EEG-based anaesthesia monitors. We evaluated the variation of pulse plethysmography amplitude induced by an electrical tetanic stimulus (PPG ...

Airway management and hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in supine and left lateral positions. [PDF]
Introduction: Intubation in the lateral position is desirable in several conditions. We compared the technical ease and hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in the lateral (group L) and supine (group S) positions in 120 Patients with ...

Quest for an Ideal Intubating Device
The first scientific report of tracheal intubation and artificial respiration is attributed to Vesalius, who in 1543 performed this in animals.1 The first perioperative use of tracheal intubation was described by Macewen in 1880 to prevent aspiration ...
