In a prospective, randomised trial, 75 patients scheduled for routine surgery were randomly allocated to one of three groups to evaluate trauma and postoperative complications after insertion of the Combitube, tracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway. Insertion of the Combitube was associated with a h

We conducted a prospective randomised study to compare the intubating laryngeal mask tracheal tube with a standard tube, for ease of tracheal intubation over a fibrescope. Thirtyβsix patients were investigated, using a sequential analysis technique. Ease of intubation was improved when the intubatin
The purpose of this study was to compare visible and occult blood contamination of 50 laryngeal mask airways and 50 tracheal tubes following routine anaesthesia for procedures not involving the oropharyngeal or nasal cavities. All airway devices were examined visually for the presence of blood befor
Seventy consecutive patients were randomly allocated for intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask airway using a straight reinforced silicone tracheal tube with either a conventional or a modified bevel. The conventional bevel was firm, wedgeβshaped and with a leading edge at the side. The m
Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, or insertion of a laryngeal mask airway may lead to an arousal response on the electroencephalogram. We studied whether more intense stimulation (laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation) causes a greater arousal response than less intense stimulation (laryngeal mas
In this study we tested the hypothesis that the initial cuff volume of the laryngeal mask airway influences emergence characteristics and postoperative laryngopharyngeal morbidity. One hundred and sixty adult patients undergoing minor surgery were randomly assigned for airway management with the lar
