title: Anesthesiology.
abstract: In suitable candidates undergoing cardiac surgery, inhalation agents and new protocols for postoperative care have facilitated early extubation and reduced levels of intensive care. Volunteers with no prior experience in resuscitation were more successful in maintaining patent airways with the laryngeal mask airway than with the standard face mask and oral airway.
