Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized trial comparing the i-gel™ and Magill tracheal tube with the single-use ILMA™ and ILMA™ tracheal tube for fibreoptic-guided intubation in anaesthetized patients with a predicted difficult airway.
The i-gel™ is a single-use supraglottic airway device (SAD) that allows fibreoptic-guided tracheal intubation through the device. Until now, no prospective data for this procedure are available. Therefore, in a prospective randomized controlled trial, we evaluated fibreoptic-guided tracheal intubation with a standard Rüsch™ PVC tracheal tube (TT) through the i-gel™ compared with the single-use ILMA™ (sILMA™) TT through the sILMA™ in patients with a predicted difficult airway. ⋯ Fibreopic-guided tracheal intubation through the i-gel™ using a standard Rüsch™ Magill TT is successful and an alternative to the sILMA™ with the sILMA™ TT.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Concomitant infraclavicular plus distal median, radial, and ulnar nerve blockade accelerates upper extremity anaesthesia and improves block consistency compared with infraclavicular block alone.
This prospective, randomized, observer-blinded study tested the hypothesis that a combined ultrasound-guided block of the infraclavicular brachial plexus plus distal median, radial, and ulnar nerves would accelerate upper extremity anaesthesia compared with infraclavicular block alone. ⋯ ANZCTR: ACTRN12610000155099. https://www.anzctr.org.au/registry/trial_review.aspx?ID=335162.
