{"title":"Comparison of the LMA BlockBuster and intubating LMA as a conduit to blind tracheal intubation","authors":"Kiranpreet Kaur, Vishvas Verma, Prashant Kumar, Suresh K. Singhal, Svareen Kaur, Vaishali Mahor, Nancy Nandal, Tavleen Kaur","doi":"10.4103/joacp.joacp_272_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/joacp.joacp_272_22","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background and Aims: Primary aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of Intubating LMA (ILMA) and blockbuster LMA in terms of first pass success rate, ease and duration taken for blind tracheal intubation. Material and Methods: The present prospective randomised study was conducted on 70 patients of either sex aged 18-60 years belonging to ASA physical status I or II. Patients were randomly allocated to either, group I and group B of n = 35 each. In group I and B patients were intubated using ILMA and LMA BlockBuster respectively. Insertion time and ease of placement of supraglottic device, total time taken for successful intubation, number of attempts for endotracheal tube (ETT) placement, and ease of placement of ETT, were recorded. Results: In both groups, the supraglottic device was placed on the first attempt in 88.6% patients. The first-attempt success rate for ETT placement was 71.4% in group I versus 94.3% in group B, ( P = 0.01) with an overall success rate of 88.5% in group I and 100% in group. More failure rate was observed in group I (11.4%) compared to group B (0%). The total time taken for successful intubation in group I was 11.53 ± 6.410 sec and 9.17 ± 2.749 sec in group B ( P = 0.04). Conclusion: We conclude that the modifications in the design of LMA Blockbuster (>95° angle, availability of the parker flex tube 27–30°angle of the emergence of airway tube) make it a more convenient, effective, simpler, and faster intubating device than ILMA.","PeriodicalId":14946,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anaesthesiology, Clinical Pharmacology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135483485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this cross-sectional study, we identify social media presence and engagement of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Medicine (RAAPM) fellowship programs, specifically on Twitter (Twitter Inc., San Francisco, CA) and Instagram (Meta Platforms Inc., Menlo Park, CA). This article presents current evidence about social media presence and engagement of ACGME-accredited RAAPM fellowship programs on Twitter and Instagram. These findings could potentially help cultivate greater social media engagement in the RAAPM community and improve recruitment of prospective applicants.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>The list of ACGME-accredited RAAPM fellowship programs for the academic year 2020-2021 was obtained from the ACGME website. Accounts were searched by reviewing each program's website for profile links and by querying for the name of the program directly on Twitter and Instagram. Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine accounts were analysed for posts pertaining to RAAPM elements, and RAAPM fellowship-specific accounts were investigated.

Furthermore, only 10% of programs had RAAPM fellowship-specific Twitter accounts, of which only 5% of programs were active. Finally, there were no RAAPM fellowship-specific Instagram accounts.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>While there is robust use of social media by departmental accounts, there is a paucity of RAAPM-related content and RAAPM fellowship-specific social media accounts.
