The fat embolism syndrome, results of a therapeutic regime.

Results of a therapeutic regime for the fat embolism syndrome are presented. The basis of this regime is to prevent hypoxia by use of oxygen and if necessary intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Prophylactic oxygen therapy in patients likely to develop the fat embolism syndorme is suggested.

Pulmonary water content in critical illness.

Pulmonary extravascular water content was measured using a double indicator technique and results compared with chest radiography. It is concluded that careful chest radiography is an effective and simple technique for assessing the pulmonary extravascular water content.

Post-operative respiratory function: a ventilation-perfusion study.

Many studies have shown that after uncomplicated abdominal surgery arterial hypoxaemia frequently occurs because of regional underventilation in relation to perfusion. This paper produced evidence that shows a small increase in physiological dead space to tidal volume ratio following general anaesthesia for abdominal surgery. This increase is thought to be due to tachypnoea rather than alteration in pulmonary blood flow.

The value of anaesthesia training in the first two postgraduate years.

The value of an anaesthetic attachment during the first two postgraduate years is considered under three major headings, the value to the recent graduate, the value to the specialty, and the value to the community. The anaesthetic attachment offers all recent graduates an opportunity to perfect practical skills which should from part of the armamentarium of all doctors, and for some there is the option to acquire the ability to administer a safe anaesthetic. Exposure to the specialty at this time is important for recruitment to the specialist ranks.

Pulmonary oedema in chronic bronchitis - a haemodynamic study.

Right heart catheterization was performed in ten patients with pulmonary oedema. Mean wedge pressures in excess of 12 mmHg above the mid-axillary line were regarded as abnormal and indicating left heart failure. If the wedge pressure was less than 12 mmHg, and pulmonary congestion was present, frusemide was given. Brief descriptions of the ten cases are given.
