Damage to the laryngeal mask by residual fluid in the cuff.

abstract：:Cardiac output (CO) determination based on partial CO(2) rebreathing has recently been introduced into clinical practice. The determination of flow is crucial for exact CO readings and the physical properties of xenon, i.e. high density and viscosity, may influence flow readings. This study compared echocardiography-d...
