Conscious sedation for minor gynecologic surgery in the ambulatory patient. A pilot study.

A conscious sedation regimen consisting of alphaprodine, hydroxyzine, and methohexital together with intensive behavior modification was evaluated in an open pilot study for patients undergoing minor gynecologic surgery. This combination was found to result in hemodynamic stability, satisfactory patient compliance, and patient and surgeon acceptance. Patients were unable to recognize words taught to them just after drugs were administered.Electroencephalogram (EEG) changes seen in general anesthesia or deep sedation were not found in the EEG records of a subset of patients. These findings suggest that conscious sedation can provide adequate relief of pain and anxiety for minor gynecologic procedures when local anesthesia can achieve only partial pain relief.

Hypersomnia with sudden sleep attacks ("symptomatic narcolepsy") on the basis of vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency. A case report.

Report of a 56-year-old patient with a one-year-history of uncontrolable sleep attacks occurring at daytime and episodes of unsteadiness, dizziness, diplopia and dysarthria. The clinical evaluation revealed evidence of vertebrobasilar artery enlargement and insufficiency. He has become symptom-free under appropriate treatment. This raises the question of "symptomatic narcolepsy" caused by vascular brain stem disorder.
