Randomised comparison of the effectiveness of the laryngeal mask airway supreme, i-gel and current practice in the initial airway management of prehospital cardiac arrest (REVIVE-Airways): A feasibility study research protocol (2013)
Journal Article
initial airway management of prehospital cardiac arrest (REVIVE-Airways): A feasibility study research protocol. BMJ Open, https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002467

Introduction: Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation with appropriate airway management improves outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Historically, tracheal intubation has been accepted as the optimal form of OHCA airway manage...

Rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia in UK emergency departments: A national census (2011)
Journal Article
Benger, J., & Hopkinson, S. (2011). Rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia in UK emergency departments: A national census. Emergency Medicine Journal, 28(3), 217-220. https://doi.org/10.1136/emj.2009.085423

Introduction: Rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia and tracheal intubation (RSI) is an integral part of modern emergency care. Previously, emergency department (ED) RSI has been provided by anaesthetists, but UK emergency physicians are increasing...

Prospective observational measurement of tracheal tube cuff pressures in the emergency department (2010)
Journal Article
Chopra, M., Jones, L., Boulanger, C., Benger, J., Higginson, I., Williamson, D., …Lloyd, G. (2010). Prospective observational measurement of tracheal tube cuff pressures in the emergency department. Emergency Medicine Journal, 27(4), 270-271. https://doi.org/10.1136/emj.2009.075200

Background: Tracheal mucosal blood flow is impaired when tracheal tube cuff pressure is above 30 cm of water, with the potential for tracheal mucosal necrosis. Previous studies have found excessive cuff pressures in simulated patients intubated by No...
