The laryngeal mask as an antipollution device [PDF]
Anaesthetic pollution is still a problem and recent UK Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) recommendations require employers to attempt to control the risk. Fifteen day‐case urology operating lists were studied to compare the level of nitrous oxide exposure using face mask or laryngeal mask anaesthesia.

In the past 25 years with the development of various supraglottic airway devices, the armamentarium for airway management has increased. In our study, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA)-ProSeal is compared with the LMA-Classic with respect to as follows: (a) Ease of insertion and number of insertion attempts, (b) Device positional stability and possible ...

Comparisons of clinical performance of guardian laryngeal mask with laryngeal mask airway ProSeal [PDF]
The Guardian Laryngeal Mask Airway (G-LMA) is a new silicone-based single-use extraglottic device with the drainage port and a cuff pilot valve with pressure indicator. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical performance of this laryngeal mask airway with ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (P-LMA).In this prospective randomized study, we included ...

DexaPatch, an implantable, low‐swelling amphiphilic hydrogel system containing dexamethasone‐PLGA microparticles, is developed and characterized for sustained local steroid release to reduce postoperative inflammation in tight surgical spaces. DexaPatch significantly reduces postoperative edema and fibrosis in a rabbit model of anterior spinal surgery,

The sidechain doped polymer is investigated to have great potential for pressure detection due to the advantages including molecular rearrangement and charge‐density perturbance induced by micro‐mechanical deformation. This sensor displayed low‐pressure detection limit of 0.7 Pa as well as a rapid response time of 18.8 ms, enabling multi‐mode motion ...

Risk of aspiration with the laryngeal mask
In order to assess if the use of the laryngeal mask airway is associated with an increased risk of gastric regurgitation during mechanical ventilation, we studied 50 patients allocated randomly to undergo anaesthesia with either artificial ventilation with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen and atracurium (group A) or spontaneous ventilation with ...

ABSTRACT Background In recent years, smaller‐volume radiotherapy has attracted attention. It appears to be a safe and effective treatment for glottic laryngeal cancer. This study evaluated the results of ultra‐hypofractionated radiotherapy for early glottic laryngeal cancer in unfit patients.

ABSTRACT Background Head and neck cancer patients often present with locally advanced disease. For some patients, palliative treatment schedules focused on symptom control are often preferred. Perhaps the most widely used of these is the so‐called Quad Shot (QS) regimen.
