    A comparison of the intubating and standard laryngeal mask airways for airway management by inexperienced personnel (2001)

    Notes: Twenty-four inexperienced participants were timed inserting the intubating laryngeal mask airway and the laryngeal mask airway in 75 anaesthetised subjects. Adequacy of ventilation was assessed on a three-point scale. The pressure at which a leak first developed around the device's cuff was also measured. There was no significant difference in insertion time or the likelihood of achieving adequate ventilation between devices. However, the intubating laryngeal mask airway was better at providing adequate ventilation without audible leak (58/75 (77%) vs. 42/75 (56%); p = 0.009). The median (range [IQR]) pressure at which an audible leak developed was higher for the intubating laryngeal mask airway, 34.5 (14–40 [29–40]) cmH2O, than for the laryngeal mask airway, 27.5 (14–40 [22–33]) cmH2O (p 〈 0.001). The intubating laryngeal mask airway is worthy of further consideration as a tool for emergency airway management for inexperienced personnel.

    The implications of HIV for the anaesthetist and the intensivist (2000)

    Notes: The acquired immune deficiency syndrome has reached pandemic proportions. Anaesthetists should be aware of the implications of dealing with increasing numbers of both diagnosed and undiagnosed, symptomatic and asymptomatic, human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients in the fields of intensive therapy, operating theatre anaesthesia, obstetrics and pain management. With recent advances, important insights have been gained into the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus. Molecular techniques allow quantification of viral burden, and together with CD4 T-lymphocyte count, prognosis and response to therapy can be evaluated. New drugs and therapeutic regimens have improved prognosis for those who are infected with the virus and vertical transmission of infection from mother to infant can be minimised. Should accidental occupational exposure to the virus occur, a prophylactic regimen of antiretroviral drugs can be administered in an attempt to prevent subsequent human immunodeficiency virus infection.

    Awake intubation of the difficult airway with the intubating laryngeal mask airway (1998)

    Notes: The intubating laryngeal mask airway is a new device that facilitates intubation of the trachea. We assessed its use in 15 awake patients in whom we anticipated difficulty with tracheal intubation; we would otherwise have secured the patients' airways using a fibreoptic bronchoscope. All patients were sedated and had their airways anaesthetised with local anaesthetic. The tracheas of all 15 patients were successfully intubated. The mean time from start of sedation to successful intubation was 10.8 min. The mean time from completion of sedation and airway local anaesthesia to tracheal intubation was 2.8 min. Patients remained haemodynamically stable throughout, peripheral oxygen saturation was maintained and there were no obvious cases of pulmonary aspiration. Most patients complained of sore throat and hoarseness. We have demonstrated through this descriptive study that the intubating laryngeal mask airway may, in certain circumstances, be used as an alternative to the fibreoptic bronchoscope.

    The cardiovascular response to insertion of the intubating laryngeal mask airway (2002)

    Notes: Sixty-one patients received a standardised anaesthetic and were randomly assigned to three groups: tracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy, tracheal intubation via an intubating laryngeal mask airway with immediate removal of the device, and tracheal intubation via an intubating laryngeal mask airway with delayed removal. The cardiovascular response to intubation was of a similar magnitude in all groups, although delayed removal of the intubating laryngeal mask airway was associated with a second pressor response. Norepinephrine changed significantly over time following direct laryngoscopy and following immediate removal of the intubating laryngeal mask airway, but not after delayed removal. The findings of this study do not support using the intubating laryngeal mask instead of direct laryngoscopy purely to decrease the response to intubation.

    Convection warmers — not just hot air (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 52 (1997), S. 0 
    Details

    Notes: We sought to determine whether the forced air convection warmers (nine Bair Huggers, Augustine Medical, and one Warm Touch, Mallinkrodt Medical) used in our operating theatres could be a source of microbial pathogens. Agar plates were placed directly in the air stream of the warmers. Four of these grew potentially pathogenic organisms. When the warmers were set to blow through perforated blankets, no growth occurred. Three of the warmers were swabbed and sites of colonisation were found in their hoses. After fixing a microbial filter to the end of the hose, organisms were no longer detectable. We conclude that these warming devices are a potential source of nosocomial infection. They should only be used in conjunction with perforated blankets, should have their microbial filters changed regularly and their hoses sterilised. The inclusion of a microbial filter into the nozzle of the hose could be incorporated into the design of the warmer.
