Randomized Controlled Trial
Ambu® Aura Gain™ versus Ambu® Aura Once™ in children: a randomized, crossover study assessing oropharyngeal leak pressure and fibreoptic position.
The Ambu® Aura Gain™ is a new second-generation supraglottic airway device that-because of a wider curvature and a wide airway tube-allows fibreoptic intubation. The purpose of this study was to assess the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the Ambu® Aura GainTM compared with the Ambu® Aura Once™. ⋯ We conclude that Ambu® Aura Gain™ is a good alternative to the Ambu® Aura Once™ and an efficient device for children in this age group.

Regional anesthesia may have immediate postoperative advantages compared with general anesthesia, but its impact on post-discharge outcomes is poorly described. Our objective was to measure the association between regional anesthesia and outcomes after ambulatory shoulder surgery. ⋯ Peripheral nerve blocks in ambulatory shoulder surgery were not associated with a significant difference in a composite of adverse postoperative outcomes. Nevertheless, given the lower than expected incidence and moderate effect size associating PNBs with post-discharge events, future large prospective trials are needed to assess post-discharge outcomes.
