Randomized Controlled Trial
Positive end-expiratory pressure during laparoscopy: cardiac and respiratory effects.
To determine the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the respiratory system and on cardiac function. ⋯ Ventilation with PEEP (up to 10 cm H2O) recruits the hypoventilated areas of the lungs and reduces cardiac afterload.

Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening condition that may present at any point in the perioperative care of patients. It requires prompt recognition and diagnosis; the primary concern during acute attacks is airway management. The pathophysiology, various causes of angioedema, and treatment strategies according to underlying etiology are presented.

Comparative Study
Accuracy of the CNAP monitor, a noninvasive continuous blood pressure device, in providing beat-to-beat blood pressure readings in the prone position.
To assess the accuracy of a noninvasive continuous arterial pressure (CNAP) monitor in patients who are positioned prone in the operating room. ⋯ During prone positioning, the CNAP monitor provided clinically acceptable accuracy for MAP values, similar to those reported in adults in the supine position.
