Tracheal substitution in dogs with reinforced Gore-Tex prosthesis.

Reinforced Gore-Tex prostheses were implanted into the trachea, above the bifurcation, in 11 dogs. The first 3 animals died within a few days, due to an inappropriate surgical technique. The remaining animals were subjected to an adequate surgical procedure and all survived for a period of at least several months, except one which died of an esophago-tracheal fistula after 6 weeks. Ingrowth of respiratory epithelium into the prostheses was observed 5 to 7 weeks postoperatively.

Acoustic reflex and general anaesthesia.

Infant and small children are not always able to cooperate in impedance measurements. For this reason it was decided, -in special cases, -to perform acoustic reflex examination under general anaesthesia. The first report on stapedius reflex and general anaesthesia was published by Mink et al. in 1981. Under the effect of Tiobutabarbital, Propanidid and Diazepam there is no reflex response. Acoustic reflex can be elicited with Ketamin-hydrochlorid and Alphaxalone-alphadolone acetate narcosis. The reflex threshold remains unchanged and the amplitude of muscle contraction is somewhat increased. The method was used: 1. to assess the type and degree of hearing loss in children with cleft palate and/or lip prior to surgery. 2. to exclude neuromuscular disorders with indication of pharyngoplasties. 3. to quantify hearing level in children--mostly multiply handicapped--with retarded speech development. The results of Behavioral Observation and Impedance Audiometry are discussed and evaluated.
