To determine the epidemiology and risk factors for gastric aspiration in a French university hospital. ⋯ The incidence of gastric aspiration was slightly higher in this series than in other published series. Rapid induction-intubation sequence with Sellick manoeuvre is not always used in patients with a full stomach. Restraining this technique only to these latter patients does not guarantee practitioners to avoid the risk of gastric aspiration. There is a large need to define which patients are at higher risk of gastric aspiration by national recommendations of clinical practice.

The aim of the present study was to compare the consumption and cost of ephedrine in parturients with respect to two packagings: ampoules and prefilled syringes. ⋯ The results of the present study show that the use of prefilled syringes reduces significantly the wastage of ephedrine, allowing subsequent cost minimization in obstetrical anaesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Impact of sophrology on non-invasive ventilation tolerance in patients with acute respiratory failure].
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) is subject to a large number of failures due to discomfort of the art, the feeling of difficulty breathing and pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of sophrology to improve conditions for the realization of NIV in patients with ARF. ⋯ Sophrology constitutes aid for the achievement of the meetings of NIV in patients' IRA.
