A comparison of the McGrath videolaryngoscope with direct laryngoscopy for rapid sequence intubation in the operating theatre: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Aspiration of gastric contents is a recognised complication during all phases of anaesthesia. The risk of this event becomes more likely with repeated attempts at tracheal intubation. There is a lack of clinical data on the effectiveness of videolaryngoscopy relative to direct laryngoscopy rapid sequence intubation in the operating theatre.

Anaesthesia protocol evaluation of the videolaryngoscopy with the McGrath MAC and direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in 1000 patients undergoing rapid sequence induction: the randomised multicentre LARA trial study protocol.

Introduction: Rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia is indicated in patients with an increased risk of pulmonary aspiration. The main objective of the technique is to reduce the critical time period between loss of airway protective reflexes and rapid inflation of the cuff of the endotracheal tube to minimise the chance of aspiration of gastric contents. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of first-pass intubation success to ensure patient and healthcare worker safety.

The effects of assisted and resisted plyometric training on jump height and sprint performance among physically active females.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of assisted and resisted plyometric jump training on jump height, sprint performance (acceleration (0-20m), maximum speed (30-40m) and 40m sprint time) among physically active females. Fifty-six participants (age: 21.1 ± 1.

Effects of Overspeed or Overload Plyometric Training on Jump Height and Lifting Velocity.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of overspeed or overload plyometric training on jump height and lifting velocity in resistance trained females without plyometric training experience. Fifty-six participants (age: 21.2±1.

[Long-term survival of patients with hypertension treated in general practice or at a specialized hypertension clinic. A 21-year observation study of 831 patients with hypertension].

This article is based on a study first published in Blood Pressure. After an initial diagnostic and therapeutic assessment at a specialized hypertension clinic, 831 patients with primary hypertension were during a 15-year period allocated to continuing managing care either by their general practitioner or by the hypertension clinic. Survival was assessed in the two groups: general practice (n = 437, 223 males, 214 females) and specialized hypertension clinic (n = 394, 208 males, 186 females).
