Article Synopsis
  • The study compared the Air-Q Self Pressurized Airway Device with Blocker (SP Blocker) to the Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) for positive pressure ventilation in adult female patients undergoing elective surgeries.
  • Significant results showed that the SP Blocker had better performance on key metrics like oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP), lower peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), and improved tidal volumes compared to the PLMA.
  • Additionally, the SP Blocker allowed for faster insertion times, indicating it may be a more effective option for airway management during surgeries.

Acute pulmonary oedema is a serious complication of preeclampsia. Early detection of pulmonary edema in preeclampsia would improve fluid management and would also allow earlier detection of severe cases. The aim of this work is to evaluate the ability of thoracic fluid content measured by electrical cardiometry for early detection of pulmonary edema in parturients with preeclampsia.
