In a single-blind, randomised trial, 50 consecutive adult patients for inguinal herniorrhaphy under general anaesthesia received either an inguinal field block or bupivacaine instilled into the wound to provide postoperative analgesia. Bupivacaine instillation was found to be simple, safe and effective. The method is particularly appropriate for day-case surgery.
We describe the performance of the pneuPAC hyperbaric variant HB, a ventilator designed for use in a one-man hyperbaric chamber. The ventilator delivered minute volumes of 11-23 litre at 1 atm abs to 7.6-16 litre at 2.5 atm abs. The delivered minute volume may be controlled easily from outside the chamber by manipulation of the ventilator rate, 11.5-31 b.p.m.
