Product Description: Available with an integrated AirPal® Platform (lateral patient transfer device); clinical trials showed the RAMP® “All-in-One” is capa-ble of transferring a patient from the stretcher, onto the OR Table, then posi-tioned and “ramped” to proper “ear to sternal notch” position in under one minute. Once the airway has been established, the patient can be immedi-ately and automatically repositioned for surgery. Also available as a stand-alone

device, the efficiency of the RAMP allows use of patient positioning for direct laryngoscopy as routine.

Product Description: AuraOnce has a special curve that care-fully replicates natural human anatomy. Molded directly into the tube, the unique shape makes correct insertion easy without abrading the upper airway. AuraOnce’s curve also ensures that the patient’s head remains in a natural supine position when the mask is in use without

extra stress on the upper jaw. Moreover, AuraOnce is specially designed to give the airway tube the flexibil-ity needed to adapt to individual anatomical variances and a wide range of head positions. AuraOnce has a D-shaped airway tube to give a firm and ergonomical grip during insertion. In short, positioning is fast and accurate, with least possible internal pressure.

Product Description: Ambu AuraStraight provides users with an even greater choice and an alternative to the already popular AuraOnce curved laryngeal mask for use both in anesthesia and emergency medi-

cine. Unlike all other laryngeal masks, Ambu AuraStraight features a unique one-piece mould design, which ensures not only consistency, but also that there are no rough edges on the airway tube or cuff. Further-more, the Ambu AuraStraight provides an extra soft, thin cuff. Thus, the seal more readily conforms to the shape of the airway with the minimal amount of pressure. Additionally, the reinforced tip and EasyGlide sur-face aids the ease of insertion and extraction. Ambu AuraStraight comes in eight sizes, ranging from neonate to large adult.

Concerned about the potential risk to young children of exposure to general anesthesia, the FDA has launched an initiative, called

SAFEKIDS, to study the effects of these agents on the developing brain.

The agency has partnered with five anes-thesiology groups and universities on the project, known formally as Safety of Key Inhaled and Intravenous Drugs in Pediat-rics: the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS), Children’s Hospital Boston of Harvard University, Mayo Clinic, Colum-bia University and the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Investiga-tors at these sites will lead studies—from epidemiologic analyses to randomized

FDA To Study Anesthesia Risks in Pediatrics

Expanding on the recent development

of a surgical Apgar score for selected

patients, Tennessee researchers have found

that a similar tool can accurately predict postop-

erative outcomes across all surgical services.

The first surgical Apgar tool, created by Harvard research-

ers led by Atul Gawande, MD, consisted of a 10-point score based on intraoperative

The relationship between medical technology com-panies and the health care

professionals who use their prod-ucts is a delicate balancing act. Con-flicts of interest, both perceived and real, must be carefully moni-tored. Now, significant revisions to the Advanced Medical Technol-ogy Association (AdvaMed) Code of Ethics aim to restrict some prac-tices that may have led to abuses in the past.

“The goal is always to make sure that every time a doctor makes a decision, it is in the best interest of

the patient, and not because of a relationship with a device company,” said Andrew Van Haute, AdvaMed’s

deputy general counsel. According to its Web site, AdvaMed’s member companies produce nearly 90% of the medical technology purchased in the United States.

The revised code of ethics (http://www.advamed.org/ Member Portal/About/code/) includes a number of changes to how industry repre-sentatives can interact with health care professionals. There now is an explicit prohibition on providing entertainment to physicians, and the provision of meals is allowed only under specific circumstances.
