Review
Nonclinical factors affecting intraoperative red blood cell transfusion: a systematic review.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of the effects of paratracheal pressure and cricoid pressure on placement of the i-gel® supraglottic airway: a randomized clinical trial.
Anesthesiologists can use supraglottic airway devices as a rescue technique for failed intubation even in patients with an increased risk of gastric regurgitation. In this randomized study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of cricoid pressure and paratracheal pressure on placement of the i-gel® (Intersurgical Ltd., Wokingham, Berkshire, UK). ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05377346); first submitted 11 May 2022.
