Supraglottic airway devices – a conceit or the future of airway management?

Do we know how to properly seal the supraglottic airway devices cuff? Pilot data

“…In the worldwide scientific literature, we can find a large number of confirmations of the significant influence of pressure in the cuff sealing the intubation tube or supraglottic ventilation devices on the rate of complications related to airway devices [7][8][9]. They indicate how important a parameter in patient care is to maintain the correct pressure range in the sealing cuff.…”

The place of TrueCPR feedback device in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Should we use it? A randomized pilot study

“…In the case of adults, it is assumed that the tidal volume is 6-7 mL for each kilogram of body weight, while in the case of children 8-10 mL/kg m.c. The rescue breathing is considered effective if it caused a gentle rise of the patient's chest [13,14]. However, as many authors point out, the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including chest compressions performed in a non-instrumental manner, may raise doubts [15][16][17].…”
