Journal ArticleDOI
Endotracheal tube cuff pressure in three hospitals, and the volume required to produce an appropriate cuff pressure
Papiya Sengupta,Daniel I. Sessler,Paul E. Maglinger,Spencer Wells,Alicia Vogt,Jaleel Durrani,Anupama Wadhwa +6 more
TL;DR: Although it varied considerably, the amount of air required to achieve a cuff pressure of 20 cmH2O was similar with each tube size, and it is recommended that ET cuff pressure be set and monitored with a manometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnesium sulphate only slightly reduces the shivering threshold in humans
Anupama Wadhwa,Papiya Sengupta,Jaleel Durrani,Ozan Akca,Rainer Lenhardt,Daniel I. Sessler,Anthony G. Doufas +6 more
TL;DR: Magnesium significantly reduced the shivering threshold, but in view of the modest absolute reduction, this finding is considered to be clinically unimportant for induction of therapeutic hypothermia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound quantification of anterior soft tissue thickness fails to predict difficult laryngoscopy in obese patients.
Ryu Komatsu,Partho P. Sengupta,Anupama Wadhwa,Ozan Akca,Daniel I. Sessler,Tiberiu Ezri,Rainer Lenhardt +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the thickness of pretracheal soft tissue at the level of the vocal cords is not a good predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in obese patients in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of supplemental oxygen and dexamethasone on surgical site infection: a factorial randomized trial
A. Kurz,E. Fleischmann,D. I. Sessler,D.J. Buggy,Christian C. Apfel,Ozan Akca,Edith Fleischmann,Erol Erdik,Klaus Eredics,Barbara Kabon,Friedrich Herbst,Sara Kazerounian,Andre Kugener,Corinna Marschalek,Pia Mikocki,Monika Niedermayer,Eva Obewegeser,Ina Ratzenboeck,Romana Rozum,Sonja Sindhuber,Katja Schlemitz,Karl Schebesta,Anton Stift,Andrea Kurz,Daniel I.

Doufas,Raghavendra Govinda,Yusuke Kasuya,Ryu Komatsu,Rainer Lenhardt,Mukadder Orhan-Sungur,Papiya Sengupta,Anupama Wadhwa,Susan Galandiuk,Donal J. Buggy,Mujeeb Arain,Siun Burke,B. McGuire,Jackie Ragheb,Akikio Taguchi +50 more
TL;DR: It is shown that low-dose dexamethasone can be used for nausea and vomiting prophylaxis without promoting wound infections, and the preponderance of clinical evidence suggests that administration of 80% supplemental inspired oxygen does not reduce infection risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
The new perilaryngeal airway (CobraPLA) is as efficient as the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) but provides better airway sealing pressures.
Ozan Akca,Anupama Wadhwa,Papiya Sengupta,Jaleel Durrani,Keith Hanni,Mary Wenke,Yüksel Yücel,Rainer Lenhardt,Anthony G. Doufas,Daniel I. Sessler +9 more
TL;DR: The CobraPLA has insertion characteristics similar to the LMA but better airway sealing capabilities, and patient characteristics, insertion times, airway adequacy, number of repositioning attempts, and recovery were similar in each group.
