Does the rotational technique with a partially inflated laryngeal mask airway improve the ease of insertion in children?
The rotational technique was associated with a higher success rate for insertion and a lower incidence of complications in children. Using the rotational technique with a partially inflated cuff could be the first-choice approach in paediatric patients.
We argue that high ferritin levels may contribute to an accelerated pathology in AD. Our findings reinforce the importance of (unliganded) iron in AD, and suggest the possibility both of an early diagnosis and some means of treating or slowing down the progress of this disease.
