Aeromedical retrieval services face the difficult problem of appropriate levels sedation for transport acutely agitated patients to definitive care. This paper describes a technique using ketamine, which is titratable and avoids problems associated with airway management.A 3-year review new ketamine by aeromedical teams from Cairns base Queensland section Royal Flying Doctor Service Australia. Clinical records were systematically reviewed administration signs adverse events during in...
Accidental awareness during general anesthesia can be profoundly traumatizing, even in the absence of pain.1,2 Neuromuscular blocking drugs are implicated almost all cases accidental awareness, yet despite having been clinical use for more than 70 years, subjective experience awake neuromuscular blockade has underinvestigated.We administered suxamethonium and rocuronium, on separate occasions, to 11 fully anesthesiologist volunteers a previously published study Bispectral Index.3 We...
A 48-year-old man with severe Guillain-Barré syndrome suffered complete paralysis, and for 31 days could not communicate the outside world, while remaining fully conscious. After recovery, he provided feedback on aspects of his care, such as mechanical ventilation, physical therapy, communication. Conventional low tidal volume normocapnic ventilation induced ongoing profound dyspnoea, occasionally relieved by modest increases in minute ventilation. Routine apparently benign therapy was...
