Comparison of different methods of ventilation via cannula cricothyroidotomy in a trachea-lung modelEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Extrapolated to the clinical situation, these data suggest that low-pressure devices will not deliver adequate MVs via a cannula cricothroidotomy and should no longer be advocated. Purpose-made devices should be available in all areas where anaesthesia is administered or airway interventions are performed. (Source: British Journal of Anaesthesia)

Conclusions We found no difference in leak pressures and success rate of first-time insertion between the i-gel and the LMA-U. Time to successful insertion was significantly shorter for the i-gel. We conclude that the i-gel provides a reasonable alternative to the LMA-U for controlled ventilation during anaesthesia. (Source: British Journal of Anaesthesia)

Recombinant activated factor VII for a patient with factor VII deficiency undergoing urgent intracerebral haematoma evacuation with underlying cavernous angiomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the use of recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) for the prophylaxis of bleeding in a female with FVII deficiency (8% of activity) undergoing urgent removal of a right fronto-rolandic intracerebral haematoma secondary to a bleeding from a cavernous angioma. To assist haemostasis during and after surgery, rFVIIa boluses were administered during the procedure and continued every 12 h during 3 days after operation to maintain a prothrombin time <15 s. Using this approach, no abnormal bleeding or thromboembolic complications were observed and rFVIIa appeared safe in this context. (Source: British Journal of Anaesthesia)

Effects of a recombinant FVIIa analogue, NN1731, on blood loss and survival after liver trauma in the pigEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions After a liver trauma in the pig, i.v. administration of NN1731 reduced the bleeding and increased the survival time. In contrast, i.m. administration had no effect, presumably because reduced muscle perfusion during haemorrhage reduced the uptake of NN1731. (Source: British Journal of Anaesthesia)

Transcatheter aortic valve insertion: anaesthetic implications of emerging new technologyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Transcatheter aortic valve insertion is a new development that potentially offers a number of advantages to patients and healthcare providers. These include the avoidance of sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass, and much faster discharge from hospital and return to functional status. The procedure itself however is quite complex, and presents significant demands in planning and implementation to the multidisciplinary team. Anaesthetic input is essential, and patient care in the perioperative period can be challenging. Early results have shown a significant mortality and morbidity rate, but the majority of procedures to da...
