Article Title: Laypersons can successfully place supraglottic airways with 3 minutes of training. A comparison of four different devices in the manikin

doi: 10.1186/1757-7241-19-60

Figure Lengend Snippet: Number of attempts needed dependent on the supraglottic device . FT required the fewest attempts, followed by the LMA, the LT and the Cobra. No statistically significant differences could be shown between the FT and the LMA (p > 0.05). Compared to the FT, the Cobra* (p < 0.0001) and LT # (p < 0.05) needed significantly more attempts for correct placement. No significant differences between the Cobra, LMA, and LT were found. Data are presented in percentage.

Article Snippet: The aims of this study were: 1) to test whether lay persons are able to secure the airway and ventilate the lungs adequately using a supraglottic device following a brief training session of 3 minutes; and 2) to compare four supraglottic devices with regard to practicability: Laryngeal Mask Classic ® (LMA) and Laryngeal Mask Fastrach ® (FT) (both: LMA Deutschland GmbH, Bonn, Germany), Laryngeal Tube ® (LT) (VBM Medizintechnik GmbH, Sulz, Germany), CobraPLA ® (Cobra) (Engineered Medical Systems, Indianapolis, IL, USA).

Techniques: Combined Bisulfite Restriction Analysis Assay

Figure Lengend Snippet: Applied tidal volumes dependent on the supraglottic device . No significant differences in the application of "sufficient" tidal volumes (> 500 ml) were found among the 4 devices (p = 0.08). Analysis of subgroups with tidal volumes of 500-800 ml and > 800 ml found significantly smaller but sufficient tidal volumes (500-800 ml) in LMA* ventilated patients (p < 0.0001). Data are presented in numbers.
