Performance of the laryngeal tube for airway management during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in Europe and the whole world. Effective chest compressions and advanced airway management have been shown to improve survival rates. Supraglottic airway devices such as the laryngeal tube (LT) are a well-known strategy for patients with cardiac arrest during both basic (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS). This systematic literature review aimed to summarize current data for using the LT when performing BLS and ALS. ⋯ Especially as initial device of airway management (for inexperienced staff), the use of a LT is easy and results in a fast insertion. The advantages of the LT as compared to bag mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation are inhomogeneous in recent literature.

Randomized Controlled TrialSuperficial cervical plexus block alone or combined with interscalene brachial plexus block in surgery for clavicle fractures: a randomized clinical trial.
The regional anesthesia technique which is suitable for fracture clavicle is a matter of debate. This study aimed to compare the use of superficial cervical plexus alone or in combination with interscalene block in patients undergoing internal fixation of fractured clavicle. ⋯ In patients undergoing internal fixation of clavicular fracture, the perioperative analgesic effect of SCP alone is equally effective to its use in combination with ISB.
