Comparison of incidence of sore throat with laryngeal mask airway Protector and laryngeal mask airway ProSeal: A randomised clinical trial.

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.

Comparison of Tracheal Intubation Using King Vision (Non-channeled Blade) and Tuoren Video Laryngoscopes in Patients With Cervical Spine Immobilization by Manual In-Line Stabilization: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Glottic visualization on cervical immobilization with manual in-line stabilization (MILS) might be challenging in individuals with cervical spine injuries. We compared non-channeled King Vision video laryngoscope (VL) (Ambu GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany) with Tuoren video laryngoscope (Henan Tuoren Medical Device, Zhengzhou, China) for endotracheal intubation in patients with cervical spine immobilization.

Methods: A total of 124 patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were included in this study.

Comparison of the Analgesic Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Superficial Serratus Anterior Plane Block With Deep Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background Acute postoperative pain after breast cancer surgery adversely affects recovery and is an independent predictor of chronic postsurgical pain in these patients. Serratus plane blocks have been found to provide analgesia to the anterior hemithorax. However, trials comparing superficial serratus plane block and deep serratus block in breast cancer surgery patients are sparse.

Comparison of paediatric King Vision™ videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for elective tracheal intubation in children of age less than 1 year: A randomised clinical trial.

Background And Aims: Paediatric airway, because of its consistent anatomical differences from that of an adult, often encounters difficulty in aligning the line of sight with the laryngeal inlet during intubation. Paediatric videolaryngoscopes (VLs), by obviating the need for aligning the line of sight with the glottis, offer several advantages over direct laryngoscopy. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the recently introduced paediatric King Vision™ VL (KVL) and the direct laryngoscope with Macintosh blade for elective tracheal intubation in infants of age <1 year.

Comparison of Ultrasound with Peripheral Nerve Stimulator-guided Technique for Supraclavicular Block in Upper Limb Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The supraclavicular approach is considered to be the easiest and most effective approach to block the brachial plexus for upper limb surgeries. The classical approach using the anatomical landmark technique was associated with higher failure rates and complications. Ultrasonography (USG) guidance and peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) have improved the success rates and safety margin.
