Doxapram after general anaesthesia. Its role in stopping shivering during recovery.
A group of patients who developed postoperative shivering after receiving inhalational anaesthesia were assigned, at random, to receive either doxapram or a placebo under double-blind conditions. A significantly higher proportion of patients stopped shivering after being given doxapram than after the placebo.

Postoperative gastric aspirations reduced by glycopyrrolate during upper abdominal surgery.
Glycopyrrolate is shown to reduce the incidence of large volumes (more than 40 ml) of postoperative gastric contents, but not the pH, after major abdominal operations and reduce the consequent risk of regurgitation. It should be preferred to atropine during these procedures.

Buprenorphine↗
Postoperative analgesia using papaveretum and orphenadrine. A preliminary trial.
The action of orphenadrine when given towards the end of a general anaesthetic is described. It is shown to delay the need for postoperative analgesia and extend the analgesic action of papaveretum.
Analgesia↗
Relief of pain after surgery. A comparison of sublingual buprenorphine and intramuscular papaveretum.
Sublingual buprenorphine (0.4 mg) and intramuscular papaveretum (20 mg) were compared in sixty patients after abdominal hysterectomy. Though slower in onset of effect the sublingual tablets proved effective for pain relief and appeared to have a longer duration of action. The only side-effects of note were nausea and vomiting which occurred after both treatments. Haloperidol was tried as a long acting antiemetic and appeared successful.
Adult↗
Postoperative analgesia using continuous infusion of papaveretum.
A technique of postoperative analgesia using continuous intravenous papaveretum with a dosage derived from previous intravenous titration is described. Hourly pain scores, pulse and respiration rates, and blood pressure readings were recorded. The patients were followed up until discharge from hospital. The nature and incidence of various complications were noted.
