    Notes: We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed an antenatal Valsalva-induced retinal haemorrhage causing unilateral blindness 38 weeks into her pregnancy. Delivery was achieved by elective Caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia. The influence of anaesthetic technique on a recent retinal haemorrhage is discussed.

    Upper oesophageal sphincter pressure and the effect of cricoid pressure (1992)

    Notes: Upper oesophageal sphincter pressure has been measured in 24 patients with a sleeve device. The median sphincter pressure when awake was 38 mmHg. and when anaesthetised and paralysed was 6 mmHg. After tracheal intubation, cricoid pressure was applied at measured values between 5 and 50 N using a hand-held cricoid yoke while the sphincter pressure was recorded in two head and neck positions: with and without a standard intubating pillow with neck support. A cricoid force of 40 N increased sphincter pressure to above 38 mmHg in all the patients and the use of the pillow did not alter this effect. With the application of cricoid pressure, operating department assistants raised sphincter pressure to above 38 mmHg in only 50% of patients. Laryngoscopy made little difference to the effect of cricoid pressure except in one patient in whom it reduced the sphincter pressure by 27 mmHg.

    Upper oesophageal sphincter pressure during inhalational anaesthesia (1992)

    Notes: Upper oesophageal sphincter pressure was recorded with a Dent sleeve in 30 patients breathing nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothune. Twenty-three patients, after thiopentone induction, received suxamethonium and had their trachea intubated either before (group A, n = 11), or after (group B,n = 11), a study period of inhalational anaesthesia. Group C (n = 8 j received an inhalational induction. Mean (SD) sphincter pressure after loss of consciousness was 8 (7) mmHg (group A), 6 (5) mmHg (group B) and 24 (13) mmHg (group C) increasing to 79 (7) mmHg in group A immediately after intubation. With an end-tidal halothane concentration of 1.5%, mean sphincter pressure in group B, 16 (7) mmHg, was significantly lower than in group A, 45 (21) mmHg (p 〈 0.001 J and group C, 27 (14) mmHg (p 〈 0.05). Halothane had no dose-related effect on sphincter pressure. Insertion of a laryngeal mask in group C (n = 7) had no significant effect on sphincter pressure. Induction and maintenance of anaesthesia with halothane, unlike thiopentone or suxamethonium, maintained a degree of upper oesophageal sphincter tone, although three patients in this study had sphincter pressures of less than 10 mmHg and would therefore have been at risk of regurgitation in the presence of gastro-oesophageal reflux.

    Cricoid pressure: which hand? (2000)

    Notes: We studied 20 anaesthetic assistants applying simulated cricoid pressure with the left or right hand in random order. Simulated cricoid pressure was continued for up to 5 min with one hand and then, after resting, with the other hand. Applied pressure was measured at intervals and the subjects were blind to the results. Nineteen assistants were right-handed and all routinely applied cricoid pressure with their right hand. Mean (SD) force applied during simulated ‘awake’ cricoid pressure was 13.8 (5.7) N with either left or right hand, and during ‘anaesthetised’ cricoid pressure it was initially 25.1 (8.2) N and 24.7 (8.8) N with left or right hand, respectively. Mean force was maintained above 20 N and below 30 N throughout the study period with either hand. Force applied with the left hand was significantly lower than with the right hand but the difference was clinically insignificant (0.4 N). Inadequate or excessive force was more frequently associated with use of the left hand (p 〈 0.0001). Cricoid pressure was released before 5 min in three cases, two left-handed and one right-handed. Our results demonstrate that anaesthetic assistants apply a lower force than is classically taught and are able to maintain the force with either hand for a sustained period. Application with the left hand is justified where clinically indicated but may have a lower margin for error than when applied with the right hand.

    The effect of cricoid pressure and neck support on the view at laryngoscopy (1997)

    Notes: Fifty female patients were studied to compare the view of the larynx at direct laryngoscopy under general anaesthesia with and without cricoid pressure applied. We also compared the view using the standard technique of cricoid pressure with that using cricoid pressure in an upward and backward direction and further investigated whether these views were improved with a firm foam rubber neck support. The order in which the types of cricoid pressure were applied was randomised and also blinded with a drape over the neck. Cricoid pressure was simulated on weighing scales after each case and a mean force of 3.2 kg was applied. The majority of views at laryngoscopy (95%) were grade 1, with too few grade 2 and 3 views for statistical comparison. Both types of cricoid pressure applied without neck support were more likely to give a better view than no cricoid pressure (p 〈 0.01) and cricoid pressure in an upward and backward direction was more likely to give a better view at laryngoscopy than the standard technique (p 〈 0.01). Neck support during the standard technique of cricoid pressure did not improve the view of the larynx at laryngoscopy. Cricoid pressure is likely to improve the view at laryngoscopy which may be further improved by applying it in an upward and backward direction.

    Notes: Summary The application of cricoid pressure is an effective means of preventing regurgitation of gastric contents when correctly applied. A force of 30 N (3 kg) is recommended for an unconscious patient. This study assesses the validity of using floor scales to measure cricoid force applied by anaesthetic assistants and compares their use to an established training technique. Forty subjects applied pressure to a cricoid model in a blinded manner, on three test occasions. For each test, cricoid pressure was maintained for 1 min and the highest and lowest forces recorded on the model were noted. The first test was before any instruction. The second test followed a period of practice on the cricoid model. For the final test, subjects stood upon a set of floor scales and noted their weight. Force was applied to the cricoid model until the weight on the floor scales reduced by 3 kg. Performance improved both following practice on the model and using the floor scales. Applying cricoid force while standing on floor scales and using the change in weight as a guide resulted in a predictable force on the cricoid model. The use of floor scales is a useful method of demonstrating the forces needed for effective cricoid pressure.
