Conversion phenomenon following general anesthesia.

Two cases have been presented that demonstrate a previously undescribed complication of general anesthesia, i.e., altered recovery of consciousness secondary to hysterical conversion reactions. This potential complication must be considered when an organic cause for the symptoms cannot be found in a psychologically unstable individual. A helpful diagnostic sign is described. Consultation with a psychiatrist is mandatory if immediate alleviation of the symptoms is not obtained by the anesthesiologist and/or the surgeon.

The broken needle: report of case.

After any patient who is to receive a local anesthetic has given informed consent about the possibility of broken instruments, the practitioner should carefully prepare the patient and instrumentation for a successful anesthetic. If a needle does break and cannot be immediately removed, the practitioner should not try to retrieve it. The patient should be referred to a knowledgeable specialist familiar with the detailed anatomy of the head and neck and the surgical removal of foreign bodies from the same.
