Intra-ocular pressure changes in patients with glaucoma. Comparison between the laryngeal mask airway and tracheal tube.

abstract：:There is concern that the European Working Time Directive 2009 has led to reduced time available for training, and this study examined if this has been the case. For two identical six-month periods in 1999 (pre-Directive) and 2009 (post-Directive), weekly data were collected on the total number of sessions attended by...
