A prospective, randomized comparison of cobra perilaryngeal airway and laryngeal mask airway unique in pediatric patients.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: The Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway (PLA) provides better sealing pressure than the Laryngeal Mask Airway Unique (LMAU) during positive-pressure ventilation in adults. We compared the performance of the CobraPLA and LMAU in infants and ... Read more...

The dynamic relationship between end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, bispectral index, and cerebral state index in children.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: To guide anesthetic administration with electroencephalogram monitors in children, an adequate characterization of the anesthetic effect measured by these monitors in this population is needed. We sought to quantify and compare the ... Read more...

Anesthesia information management system implementation: a practical guide.

30 Oct 2008 Anesthesia Information Management Systems (AIMS) display and archive perioperative physiological data and patient information. Although currently in limited use, the potential benefits of an AIMS with regard to enhancement of patient safety, ... Read more...
