Emergency patients need special considerations and the number and severity of
complications from general anaesthesia can be higher than during scheduled procedures …

Background: For 40 years cricoid pressure has been used to prevent regurgitation of gastric
contents during induction of anaesthesia. Recent studies have emphasised use of more …

Cricoid pressure is a technique used to prevent regurgitation of gastric and oesophageal
contents into the pharynx and their subsequent pulmonary aspiration during the induction of …

The introduction of cricoid pressure (CP) by Sellick 1 in 1961 “to control regurgitation until
intubation with a cuffed endotracheal tube was completed” was met with an enthusiastic …

We studied six operating department assistants performing simulated cricoid pressure on a
model of the larynx with the arm either flexed to 90 degrees (flexed position) or fully …

Purpose Although encoid pressure (CP) is a superficially simple and appropriate
mechanical method to protect the patient from regurgitation and gastnc insufflation, in …

OBJECTIVES: This is the first study to look at the effects of cricoid pressure/laryngeal
manipulation on the laryngeal view and intubation success in the emergency or pre-hospital …

Cricoid pressure has become the quintessential cornerstone of the rapid sequence
induction of anesthesia in patients at risk for passive regurgitation of gastric fluids. Despite …

AIMS: To review anaesthesia in prehospital emergencies and in the emergency room, and
to discuss guidelines for anaesthesia indication; pre-oxygenation; anaesthesia induction …

A recent study in our department demonstrated that depressing the plunger of a 50-mL
syringe was reliably and linearly related to the force applied between 20N and 50N. Using a …
