[Sedation with continuously infused propofol in caudal block for elective pediatric surgery].

Twenty-nine patients aged between 2 months and 6 years, undergoing general surgery under regional analgesia (caudal block) combined with continuous infusion of propofol (3 mg/kg/h), were studied. During anesthesia the heart rate, the arterial pressure, the SaO2 and respiratory rate were recorded; the electrocardiogram was continuously displayed and all side-effects occurring during maintenance and recovery from anesthesia were noted. Satisfactory sedation without significant respiratory and cardiovascular depression and a rapid recovery, was observed. In conclusion, we feel that the use of combined caudal block and continuous infusion of propofol for paediatric surgery is rational.

Electromagnetic and thermal models of a water-cooled dipole radiating in a biological tissue.

An insulated, water-cooled dipole, radiating in a biological tissue, is analyzed with a theoretical electromagnetic and thermal model. The SAR and temperature distributions are calculated taking into account the effect of the water flowing inside the applicator. The steady-state temperatures in a dissipative medium, interacting with the dipole, are evaluated for several thicknesses of the external casing, water temperatures and blood perfusions. A correct design of the external casing thickness and a proper choice of the temperature and flow velocity of water allows to control the wall temperature of the applicator within physiological limits. The influence of the blood perfusion on the temperature distribution is investigated.

Aortic regurgitation in newborn.

Clinical signs of aortic regurgitation were noted after birth in an infant who died suddenly at the age of 18 months. Congenital malformation of the aortic root with an aneurysm of the right aortic sinus and disconnection of the corresponding cusp were found at necropsy.
