[Subjective method for tracheal tube cuff inflation: performance of anesthesiology residents and staff anesthesiologists. Prospective observational study].

Background And Objectives: Poor monitoring of tracheal tube cuff pressure may result in patient complications. The objective method of using a manometer is recommended to keep safe cuff pressure values (20‒30 cm HO). However, as manometers are not readily available, anesthesiologists use subjective methods.

[Sugammadex by ideal body weight versus 20% and 40% corrected weight in bariatric surgery - double-blind randomized clinical trial].

Background And Objectives: The weight parameters for use of sugammadex in morbidly obese patients still need to be defined.

Methods: A prospective clinical trial was conducted with sixty participants with body mass index ≥ 40 kg.m during bariatric surgery, randomized into three groups: ideal weight (IW), 20% corrected body weight (CW20) and 40% corrected body weight (CW40).
