A randomised comparative study of the effect of Airtraq optical laryngoscope vs. Macintosh laryngoscope on intraocular pressure in non-ophthalmic surgery.

Background: We compared intraocular pressure changes following laryngoscopy and intubation with conventional Macintosh blade and Airtraq optical laryngoscope.

Methods: Ninety adult patients were randomly assigned to study group or control group. Study group (n=45) - Airtraq laryngoscope was used for laryngoscopy.

A comparative study of three methods of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway insertion in children with simulated difficult laryngoscopy using a rigid neck collar.

Background: Combined introducer tool and stylet technique of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) insertion was compared with the conventional digital manipulation and introducer tool technique in children with a rigid neck collar.

Methods: This was a randomized, single blinded, prospective study. Ninety ASA Grade I-II children weighing 10-20 kg were randomly allocated for PLMA insertion using the digital, introducer tool (IT) or combined IT and stylet techniques.

Survival pattern in patients with acute organophosphate poisoning on mechanical ventilation: A retrospective intensive care unit-based study in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Background And Aims: Organophosphorus (OP) compound poisoning is one of the most common poisonings in India. The aim of the study was to study the outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients with acute OP poisoning requiring mechanical ventilation.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the intensive care unit and 117 patients were included.
