Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed mode combined with individualized positive end-expiratory pressure on respiratory mechanics, oxygenation and lung injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg position.
The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of PCV-VG combined with individual PEEP during laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position. 120 patients were randomly divided into four groups: VF group (VCV plus 5cmH2O PEEP), PF group (PCV-VG plus 5cmH2O PEEP), VI group (VCV plus individual PEEP), and PI group (PCV-VG plus individual PEEP). Pmean, Ppeak, Cdyn, PaO2/FiO2, VD/VT, A-aDO2 and Qs/Qt were recorded at T1 (15 min after the induction of anesthesia), T2 (60 min after pneumoperitoneum), and T3 (5 min at the end of anesthesia). The CC16 and IL-6 were measured at T1 and T3. ⋯ At T3, the concentration of CC16 in PI group was lower compared with other groups, and IL-6 level of PI group was decreased than that in VF and VI group. In conclusion, the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery, PCV-VG combined with individual PEEP produced favorable lung mechanics and oxygenation, and thus reducing inflammatory response and lung injury.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPharmacodynamic analysis of a fluid challenge with 4 ml kg-1 over 10 or 20 min: a multicenter cross-over randomized clinical trial.
A number of studies performed in the operating room evaluated the hemodynamic effects of the fluid challenge (FC), solely considering the effect before and after the infusion. Few studies have investigated the pharmacodynamic effect of the FC on hemodynamic flow and pressure variables. We designed this trial aiming at describing the pharmacodynamic profile of two different FC infusion times, of a fixed dose of 4 ml kg-1. ⋯ The infusion time of FC administration affects fluid responsiveness, being higher for FC10 as compared to FC20. The effect on flow variables of either FCs fades 5 min after the end of infusion.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparing the first-attempt tracheal intubation success of the hyperangulated McGrath® X-blade vs the Macintosh-type CMAC videolaryngoscope in patients with cervical immobilization: a two-centre randomized controlled trial.
We compared the hyperangulated McGrath X-blade with the Macintosh-type CMAC videolaryngoscope through the use of manual in-line stabilization on patients. The primary hypothesis was that the McGrath X-blade has a similar first-attempt success rate as the CMAC videolaryngoscope. 210 patients of ASA physical status I to III, aged 21 to 80 years old, undergoing general anesthesia requiring tracheal intubation were prospectively recruited into this two-centre randomized controlled trial, from June 2016 to April 2019. Patients with history of or predicted difficult airway, pre-existing dental risks, BMI > 35 kg/m2, cervical spondylosis or myelopathy, aspiration risks, patients who declined to participate or lacked the mental capacity to give consent were excluded. ⋯ Our study did not demonstrate a significant difference in efficacy between the McGrath X-blade and the CMAC videolaryngoscope. In patients with manual in-line stabilization, no anticipated airway difficulty and in the hands of experienced operators, the McGrath X-blade provided superior glottic views but conferred no advantage over the C-MAC, with a longer median time to intubation compared to the CMAC videolaryngoscope.

Randomized Controlled TrialIntraarterial catheter diameter and dynamic response of arterial pressure monitoring system: a randomized controlled trial.
The dynamic response (DR) of the arterial pressure monitoring system (APMS) may depend on the intraarterial catheter (IAC) diameter. We hypothesized that adequate DR would be more common when using a smaller IAC. We compared the DR of the AMPS (Auto Transducer™) between three IACs (BD Angiocath Plus™) with different diameters. 353 neurosurgical patients were randomized into three groups undergoing catheterization with a 20-, 22-, or 24-gauge IAC: 20G (n = 119), 22G (n = 117), and 24G (n = 117) groups, respectively. ⋯ Registration Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov. Registration number: NCT03642756. Date of Registration: July 27, 2018.

Randomized Controlled TrialTo compare clinical versus ultrasound assessment of correct placement of ProSeal Laryngeal mask airway (PLMA): a prospective randomized study.
Extraglottic airway devices (EAD) have revolutionized the perioperative airway management. The accuracy of clinical tests to identify malposition has been questioned by recent studies where fibreoptic evaluation identified various malpositions that were undiagnosed by a clinical test. Ultrasound (USG) has evolved to guide various airway interventions. ⋯ USG is comparable to clinical tests for evaluation of the optimal placement of PLMA. However, USG has various advantages over clinical assessment as it is quick and identifies the unacceptable placement of PLMA where the tip of PLMA may not lie over the tip of the esophagus, thereby, avoiding unnecessary mucosal injury during forceful or repeated attempts for gastric drainage tube insertion.
