Abstract
Similar band gradients were achieved with the use of conventional or adjustable PAB. However, the use of this simple and inexpensive technique of APAB was associated with a significant reduction in the early band-related deaths, need for early multiple reoperations, and early adverse acute events, thus making it a safer alternative to CPAB, more so in unstable patients.
