Randomized crossover comparison between the i-gel and the LMA-Unique in anaesthetized, paralysed adults [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background</b>: The i-gel differs from other supraglottic airway devices, in that it has a softer, non-inflatable cuff. This study was designed to compare the performance of the i-gel and the LMA-Unique (LMA-U) when used during anaesthesia

High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: Both high tidal volume (VT) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung injury in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage.
