Air-Q® (air-Q) is a supraglottic airway device which can be used as a guidance of intubation in pediatric as well as in adult patients. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of air-Q compared to other airway devices during general anesthesia in pediatric patients by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. A total of 10 studies including 789 patients were included in the final analysis....

background : in recent years, due to its distinct geographical circumstances and position in a gorge, and accumulation of pollutants in surface air, isfahan, iran has become one of the most polluted cities in the iran in terms of air pollution. the purpose of this study was to estimate cardiovascular and respiratory diseases attributed to particulate matter of less than 10 microns (pm 10 ) in i...

BACKGROUND This case report describes the use of the air-Q intubating laryngeal airway (air-Q ILA; Cookgas LLC, St. Louis, MO) for airway rescue and a conduit for blind tracheal intubation in two pediatric patients with failed rapid sequence intubation and difficult airways secondary to airway bleeding in the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVES To describe the use of a new supraglottic resc...

nowadays, air pollution is one of the main challenges worldwide. there have been significant improvements in air quality dispersion modelling. aermod is one of these models which is based upon the gaussian model. however, aermod has some limitations in terms of data input and output. therefore improving this model as well as developing new models adopted to our country is required to be address...
