Abstract

After observing a case of lincomycin (LCN)-induced respiratory insufficiency in a patient recovering from d-tubocurarine (DTC) administration, this interaction was studied in cats anesthetized with halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxide-oxygen. The sciatic nerve was stimulated with a 1.6-second tetanci train of 62.5 Hz every 10 seconds. The area under the contraction curve was electronically integrated and recorded. Five control cats received 0.01 mg/kg DTC every 2 minutes until time-tension integral response (TTIR) was zero. Five experimental cats received 10 mg/kg of LCN followed in 10 minutes by 0.01 mg/kg of DTC every 2 minutes until TTIR was zero. Both groups recovered to 50 per cent of control and were given 10 mg/kg of LCN. There was no difference between the slope of the y-intercept of the regression lines for the log-dose response curves for DTC in the two groups. LCN during recovery from DTC had a statist "Intermittent mandatory ventilation in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease".

Cardiovascular changes with the laryngeal mask airway in cardiac anaesthesia.

BACKGROUND: The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) causes fewer haemodynamic changes, particularly in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), than tracheal intubation using either laryngoscopy or the intubating LMA. There are no data for patients with coronary artery disease. METHOD: We studied 27 patients having coronary artery bypass grafting, prospectively randomized to be managed with either the LMA or tracheal intubation using either laryngoscopy or the ILMA. We used invasive monitoring to compare the haemodynamic effects in each group during induction and emergence from anaesthesia. RESULTS: Both methods of intubation caused an increase in MAP compared with the LMA (P<0.05). Mixed venous oxygen saturation increased in the intubated patients but not with the LMA (P<0.05). HR did not change at induction in the LMA group. Changes at extubation were similar in all groups but cardiac index was lower in the LMA group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The LMA allows airway management without hypertension and tachycardia and should be considered when anaesthetizing patients with coronary disease.

Perioperative use of the modified nasal trumpet in 346 patients.

BACKGROUND: The modified nasal trumpet (MNT) is a prepackaged nasopharyngeal airway modified with distal holes and fitted with a 15 mm adaptor allowing connection to an anaesthesia circuit. It may be useful for airway management during anaesthesia. METHODS: After applying a spray to constrict the nasal mucosa, we used the MNT in 346 spontaneously breathing patients for three indications: alone as an airway device during general anaesthesia, to provide supplemental oxygen immediately after extubation instead of by facemask, and to facilitate fibreoptic intubation during general anaesthesia. RESULTS: The device was successful for giving supplemental oxygen after extubation (n=244) and facilitating fibreoptic intubation (n=28). When used as an airway for general anaesthesia, it was only successful without manipulation in 33 of 74 patients (45%). The MNT was easy to insert in awake patients. We encountered six complications: one MNT folded in the pharynx, and five patients (1.4%) experienced nosebleeds. CONCLUSIONS: The MNT was disappointing as a primary airway device under general anaesthesia but was useful for giving oxygen after extubation and for facilitation of fibreoptic intubation. It can cause nosebleeds.

Effects of four anaesthetic protocols on the neurological and cardiorespiratory variables of puppies born by caesarean section.

Twenty-four bitches which had been in labour for less than 12 hours were randomly divided into four groups of six. They all received 0.5 mg/kg of chlorpromazine intravenously as premedication, followed 15 minutes later by either 8 mg/kg of thiopentone intravenously (group 1), 2 mg/kg of ketamine and 0.5 mg/kg of midazolam intravenously (group 2), 5 mg/kg of propofol intravenously (group 3), or 2.5 mg/kg of 2 per cent lidocaine with adrenaline and 0.625 mg/kg of 0.5 per cent bupivacaine with adrenaline epidurally (group 4). Except for group 4, the bitches were intubated and anaesthesia was maintained with enflurane. The puppies' heart and respiratory rates and their pain, sucking, anogenital, magnum and flexion reflexes were measured as they were removed from the uterus. The puppies' respiratory rate was higher after epidural anaesthesia. In general the puppies' neurological reflexes were most depressed after midazolam/ketamine, followed by thiopentone, propofol and epidural anaesthesia.
