Do the choices of airway affect the post-anesthetic occurrence of nausea after knee arthroplasty?
The frequency of PONV was almost twice with ETT as with LMA. Longer duration of anesthesia, neuromuscular blockade and non-standardized antiemetic regimen may have contributed to the increase PONV in ETT group. Prospective randomized studies are necessary to further explore whether and to which extend airway devices influence the incidence of PONV.
TFPI-2 expression may strongly inhibit the migration ability of hTCFs in vitro, making it a promising candidate for novel therapies to minimize scar development after glaucoma drainage surgery.
