Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyDevice stability and quality of ventilation of classic laryngeal mask airway versus air-Q and I-gel at different head and neck positions in anesthetized spontaneously breathing children.
Since its introduction into clinical practice, the use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been dramatically increasing. We aimed to investigate the clinical performance of single use LMA classic, AIR-Q and I-gel at different head and neck positions and during the operative procedure in pediatric elective day case surgery. ⋯ Having the highest increase in OLP at neck flexion, the I-gel LMA exhibited the best ventilation parameters and fiberoptic view grade at different head and neck positions and throughout the intraoperative period.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of remote ischemic preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing liver resection: a randomized controlled trial.
Studies in animal models have shown that remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) could protect the liver from hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). The aim of this study was to examine whether RIPC could reduce HIRI in patients undergoing liver resection. ⋯ RIPC could reduce hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury after liver resection.
