Interrupting gel layer between Double cuffs prevents fluid leakage past tracheal tube cuffs.

BACKGROUND Current tracheal tubes (TTs) cannot guarantee a perfect seal against pulmonary aspiration of upper airway secretions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a gel layer between the tracheal tube with double cuffs (Double cuffs) prevents fluid leakage past TT cuffs. METHODS In vitro fluid leakage tests were performed using the Double cuff with or without a gel layer be...

in labour. It was subsequently calculated that less than half this amount of methoxyflurane was required for Caesarean section when using a 0.1% supplement. Cousins and Mazze (1972) qualified the findings that there was no evidence of nephrotoxicity following the use of 0.35% methoxyflurane in labour by stating: "The agent appears not to be nephrotoxic under most conditions of low dosage admini...
