In a retrospective study comparing normotensive (twenty-two patients) and controlled hypotensive (forty-four anesthesia for spine fusion Harrington instrumentation, the use of was found to decrease need blood replacement total loss by an average 40 per cent reduce operating time more than thirty minutes. No complications attributable anesthetic technique occurred.
A collaborative retrospective study undertaken to investigate cardiac arrest related pediatric anesthesia in seven institutions between 1960 and 1972 showed 73 instances which was thought have been either directly responsible or had played an important contributing role. About two thirds of these patients were successfully resuscitated. Cases found fit into one major categories: cardiovascular respiratory. Among factors, blood loss, preoperative anemia, inappropriate administration...
The effect of premedication with the anticholinergic quaternary ammonium compound, glycopyrrolate (0.4 mg), on gastric juice pH was investigated in 23 parturients scheduled for elective cesarean section under general anesthesia, and results were compared to a control group 15 nonpremedicated obstetric patients 25 premedicated atropine (0.6 mg). In group, mean 2.36 (SE +/- 0.23), 66% having less than critical level 2.5. Premedication did not significantly increase pH, while those...
Experiments were conducted in 33 open chest, anesthetized dogs to evaluate direct effects ofhemodilution on myocardial oxygenation and contractile function. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was perfused selectively from a controlled pressure reservoir with either normal arterial blood or diluted lactated Ringer's solution. Systemic hemodynamic parameters held stable. In the LAD bed, values obtained for flow (CBF) an electromagnetic flowmeter, oxygen consumption (MVo2) using...
A technic of deliberate hypotension, using halothane, pentolinium, and propranolol, has been employed with 137 patients between the ages 2 months 14 years. Mean systolic pressure decreased from 99.8 to 57.7 torr*and mean duration hypotension was 102 minutes. Ganglionic blockade pentolinium accompanied by tachycardia. Propranolol, given before or after ganglionic blockade, effective in correcting undesirable rise heart rate resulted better control blood pressure. In this series, there only...
Echocardiographic studies were made of 20 healthy patients scheduled for minor surgical procedures to determine whether this technique could be used routinely in the operating room and evaluate effects halothane enflurane on left ventricular performance. Thirteen minutes following induction anesthesia with ten (mean end-tidal concentration 0.93 per cent), mean arterial blood pressure, (LV) diastolic dimension, LV fractional shortening, velocity circumferential fiber shortening systolic...
Hemodilution is accompanied by an increase in cerebral blood flow, but whether this due to vasodilation response reduced arterial oxygen content, viscosity, or a combination of these mechanisms matter debate. We performed the current study gain insight into question evaluating effect hemodilution on (1) vasodilator reserve and (2) level flow during hypercapnia-induced regions brain spinal cord.Sixteen mongrel dogs were anesthetized with halothane 0.9% (1 minimum alveolar concentration) while...
To the Editor:— Following publication of our articles, Treatment Hiccups by Pharyngeal Stimulation in Anesthetized and Conscious Subjects ( 202 :32, 1967) An Effective Method for During Anesthesia Anesthesiology 28 :463, 1967), we were subjected to a great number questions comments from physicians, as well laymen. Some colleagues consider technique pharyngeal stimulation halting hiccups be almost 100% effective their hands. One colleague mentioned me letter that he has never seen it fail....
Electrocardiographic findings during curarization reversal with a glycopyrrolate-neostigmine mixture were compared to those an atropine-neostigmine in pediatric patients congenital cardiac disease. Both giycopyrrolate and atropine afforded equal protection against the bradycardiac effects of neostigmine but incidence arrhythmias was greater giycopyrrolate. Giycopyrrolate does not seem safer than for such procedures.
