The Aspiration-Irrigation Maneuver

Soft cataracts: aspiration-irrigation by push-pull coupled syringes.

Conservative treatment of persistent periradicular lesions using aspiration and irrigation.

Aspirating the unknown contents of a bony cavity and saline irrigation of a body wound are both basic surgical techniques. These two techniques have been combined in treating persistent periradicular pathosis in two cases. The cases demonstrate significant bony healing of extensive periradicular defects after the use of the combined procedure. Both cases were nonresponsive to nonsurgical root c...

Closed chamber globe stabilization and needle capsulorhexis using irrigation hand piece of bimanual irrigation and aspiration system

BACKGROUND The prerequisites for a good capsulorhexis include a deep, well maintained anterior chamber, globe stabilization and globe manipulation. This helps to achieve a capsulorhexis of optimal size, shape and obtain the best possible position for a red glow under retroillumination. We report the use of irrigation handpiece of bimanual irrigation aspiration system to stabilize the globe, mai...

The Heimlich maneuver.

Evaluating the Epley maneuver.

Evidence Six systematic reviews of RCTs consistently supported Epley maneuvers (as classically described) despite considerable heterogeneity among trials.1-6 • Most recent review (11 RCTs, N = 745)1: -Results were statistically significant for the Epley maneuver versus control at 24 hours and 4 weeks. —Resolution of symptoms (5 RCTs, n = 273): 56% versus 21% with control (NNT = 3). —Positive to...
