Illicit use of modern volatile anaesthetics.

Sixteen reported cases of abuse of modern volatile anaesthetics are summarized. Twelve of the sixteen subjects died. Halothane was ingested or injected intravenously for suicidal purpose, and sniffed for mood elevation. Abuse of modern volatile anaesthetics deserves more attention than it has received in the past.

Plasma vasopressin response to extracorporeal circulation in children.

Plasma vasopressin levels were measured during open-heart surgery in nine children. The control value of vasopressin was 5.5 +/- 1.5 (s.e.mean) microU/ml. During extracorporeal circulation, a maximum 7.3-fold increase of plasma vasopressin level was demonstrated. This high level of vasopressin was considered to have circulatory effects rather than anti-diuretic effects.
