Insertion of six different supraglottic airway devices whilst wearing chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear-personal protective equipment: a manikin study

摘要

Six different supraglottic airway devices: Combitube?, laryngeal mask airway, intubating laryngeal mask airway (Fastrach?), i-gel?, Laryngeal Tube? and Pro-Seal? laryngeal mask airway were assessed by 58 paramedic students for speed and ease of insertion in a manikin, whilst wearing either chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear-personal protective equipment (CBRN-PPE) or a standard uniform. All devices took significantly longer to insert when wearing CBRN-PPE compared with standard uniform (p?
