Randomized Controlled TrialDetection of gastric inflation using transesophageal echocardiography after different level of pressure-controlled mask ventilation: a prospective randomized trial.
This study aimed to assess the technique of using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect gastric inflation and to determine the optimal level of inspiratory pressure during face mask ventilation (FMV). In this prospective and randomized trial, seventy-five adults scheduled for cardiac surgery were enrolled to one of the three groups (P12, P15, P20) defined by the applied inspiratory pressure during FMV. After induction, mask ventilation was performed with the corresponding level of pressure-control ventilation for 2 min in each patient. ⋯ Peak airway pressure of 12-20 cmH2O could provide acceptable sufficient ventilation during mask ventilation, but 20 cmH2O result in higher incidence of gastric inflation. TEE is useful to detect the gastric inflation related to the entry of air into the stomach during pressure-controlled face mask ventilation. Trial Registration Number ChiCTR-IOR-14005325.

Randomized Controlled TrialEphedrine and phenylephrine induce opposite changes in cerebral and paraspinal tissue oxygen saturation, measured with near-infrared spectroscopy: a randomized controlled trial.
While the effects of phenylephrine (PE) and ephedrine (E) on cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) already has been studied, the effect on paraspinal oxygen saturation (rSpsO2) is still unexplored. This study aims to assess the effect of PE and E on rScO2 and rSpsO2, measured with near-infrared spectroscopy. A randomized 4-treatment cross-over trial was designed in 28 patients under BIS-titrated anaesthesia with sevoflurane. ⋯ Compared to E, PE administration was associated with a significant decrease in rScO2 (- 2.1%, 95% CI [- 3.1%, - 1.2%], p < 0.001). In contrast, compared to PE, E was associated with a significant decrease in rSpsO2 at T3-T4, T9-T10 and L1-L2 (- 2.0%, 95% CI [- 2.8, - 1.1], p < 0.001; - 1.4%, 95% CI [- 2.4%, - 0.4%], p = 0.006; and - 1.5%, 95% CI [- 2.3%, - 0.8%], p < 0.001, respectively). An opposite effect on rScO2 and rSpsO2 was observed after bolus administration of PE and E.

Randomized Controlled TrialA prospective randomized comparison of airway seal using the novel vision-guided insertion of LMA-Supreme® and LMA-Protector®.
The laryngeal mask airways supreme (LMA-Supreme™) and protector (LMA-Protector™) are generally placed blindly, often resulting in a less than optimal position and vision-guided placement has been recommended. This prospective, randomized controlled study compared the efficacy of airway seal by measuring the oropharyngeal leak pressure in 100 surgical patients who underwent a variety of non-thoracic surgery under general anaesthesia, suitable with a supraglottic airway device. Patients were allocated to either the LMA-Supreme (n = 50) or LMA-Protector (n = 50) group. ⋯ Corrective manoeuvres were required in virtually all patients to obtain a correct anatomically positioned LMA. Position outcomes of the two devices were similar except for the proportion of procedures with folds in the proximal cuff (90% LMA-Supreme vs. 2% LMA-Protector, p < 0.001), the need for intracuff pressure adjustments (80% LMA-Supreme vs. 48% LMA-Protector, p = 0.001) and size correction (18% LMA-Supreme vs. 4% LMA-Protector, p = 0.025). In conclusion, a higher oropharyngeal leak pressure can be achieved with LMA-Protector compared to LMA-Supreme with optimal anatomical position when insertion is vision-guided.

Randomized Controlled Trial Observational Study Retracted PublicationThe effects of a recruitment manoeuvre with positive end-expiratory pressure on lung compliance in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
The effects of a recruitment manoeuvre (RM) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on lung compliance (CLUNG) are not well characterised in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP). Patients were allocated to group R (n = 10; with an RM) or C (n = 9; without an RM). An RM involved sustained inflation of 30 cmH2O for 30 s. ⋯ CLUNG significantly decreased from pre-op to RARP0 and did not significantly increase from RARP0 to RARP5.1 and RARP5.2 in either group. CLUNG differed significantly between groups at RARP5.1 and RARP5.2 (103 ± 30 vs. 68 ± 11 mL cm-1 H2O and 106 ± 35 vs. 72 ± 9 mL cm-1 H2O; P < 0.05). In patients undergoing RARP, with the addition of RM, the CLUNG was effectively increased from the horizontal lithotomy position to the steep Trendelenburg lithotomy position under pneumoperitoneum.

Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of LM-Supreme™ and endotracheal tube in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
While laryngeal mask is widely used for laparoscopic interventions in some countries, concerns exist regarding pulmonary aspiration and inadequate ventilation. We compared the LM-Supreme™ (LM-S) with the endotracheal tube (ETT) for laparoscopic gynecological interventions in terms of ventilation parameters and gastric distention. This prospective randomized and double-blind study. ⋯ In the first hour postoperative sore throat, disphonia and dysphagia were statistically significantly higher in the ETT group. In our study we concluded that LM-S provides reliable endotracheal intubation in ASA I & II patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery under positive pressure ventilation.
