Pulmonary oedema after ophthalmic regional anaesthesia in an unfasted patient undergoing elective surgery.

abstract：:Many new supraglottic airway devices have been recently introduced, their development motivated by the need for a single-use equivalent to the original re-usable laryngeal mask airway. We performed a randomised cross-over study in spontaneously breathing patients comparing the re-usable Laryngeal Mask Airway-Classic (...
