Epidural analgesia following upper abdominal surgery: United Kingdom practice.

abstract：:The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is a new type of oropharyngeal airway that provides an alternative to endotracheal intubation and standard mask anaesthesia in certain cases. Once the patient is adequately anaesthetised, it can be inserted blindly, without recourse to laryngoscopy or muscle relaxants. Anaesthetists of ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) exerts both local and distant effects. INO in healthy pigs causes down-regulation of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production and vasoconstriction in lung regions not reached by INO, especially in hypoxic regions, which augments hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. In contrast,...
