A prospective randomised comparison of two insertion methods for i-gel placement in anaesthetised paralysed patients: standard vs. rotational technique.

abstract：:Two cases of severe accidental hypothermia (core temperature less than 28 degrees C) rewarmed employing the Clinitron system are described. The physiological changes during hypothermia and rewarming are discussed and the current concepts of rewarming (active external versus internal) outlined. It is suggested that sev...
