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

We have tested the hypothesis that intubation success rates, haemodynamic changes, airway complications and postoperative pharyngolaryngeal morbidity differ between blind and lightwand-guided intubation through the intubating laryngeal mask airway. One hundred and twenty paralysed anasthetised adult
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
Twenty-four inexperienced participants were timed inserting the intubating laryngeal mask airway and the laryngeal mask airway in 75 anaesthetised subjects. Adequacy of ventilation was assessed on a three-point scale. The pressure at which a leak first developed around the device's cuff was also mea
Sixty unpremedicated adult dayβcase patients were randomly assigned to either vital capacity or tidal breathing inhalational induction techniques. End points assessed included loss of eyelash reflex, time to drop a weighted syringe, time to jaw relaxation and time to the end of laryngeal mask airway
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
