Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and Combitube ventilation in a bench model.
In addition to heart massage, the primary goal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is efficient oxygenation and ventilation. ⋯ Most of the school children performed both techniques to a high qualitative level. The study shows that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and use of the Combitube have equal ease of learning, a precondition for proficient retention of skills. Tidal volumes were significantly higher with the Combitube and, not surprisingly, the time interval until the start of first ventilation was significantly shorter with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Regardless of the ventilation technique or device, we believe that subsequent retraining of ventilation skills is very important.

Randomized Controlled TrialChronic pelvic pain treated with gabapentin and amitriptyline: a randomized controlled pilot study.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of gabapentin, amitriptyline, and their combination in women with chronic pelvic pain. ⋯ Gabapentin alone or in combination with amitriptyline is better than amitriptyline alone in the treatment of female chronic pelvic pain.
