Background And Aims: Adequacy of Anaesthesia (AoA) and CONOX are combined monitors that assess levels of anaesthesia and analgesia and give a comprehensive score. No studies have measured and compared the total consumption of inhaled anaesthetic agents while using these monitors. We designed a study to compare AoA and CONOX in terms of sevoflurane usage, fentanyl usage and recovery from the effects of anaesthesia.

- Using cognitive aids like checklists can greatly enhance patient care quality, leading to fewer complications and deaths.
- A study was conducted on emergency cesarean sections, comparing a baseline assessment of 65 procedures to a post-intervention phase after educating staff on a 22-step checklist.
- Results showed an increase in compliance from 78.80% to 92.48%, indicating that the training helped staff recognize the importance of each checklist item and improve overall patient care practices.
Background And Aims: Postoperative sore throat (POST) can be as high as 42% in supraglottic devices. LMA® Protector™ is a novel second-generation laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with Cuff Pilot™ technology that allows continuous cuff pressure monitoring. Elevated cuff pressure is a risk factor for POST in supraglottic devices, so we conducted this study to determine whether continuous cuff pressure monitoring can alleviate POST.
