Atropine premedication and respiratory complications.
Sir,—Jones and Drummond (1981) have shown that premedication with atropine does not influence the frequency of postoperative respiratory complications. However, they do not nuke a recommendation for routine use, or otherwise, of atropine in premedicatioa. Studies on the effects of atropine administration on ciliary activity have shown conflicting results. Experimental studies in dogs have not s...
متن کاملAtropine Premedication in Electroconvulsive Therapy
Atropine has been used in ECT to eliminate parasympathetically mediated dysrhythmias. However, it may increase heart rate and myocardial workload. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of atropine premedication on the heart rate and blood pressure. Study was performed in 80 patients referred for a course of ECT. They enrolled randomly in one of the two equal groups to receive atro...
متن کاملAtropine premedication and the cardiovascular response to electroconvulsive therapy.
A report by the Royal College of Psychiatrists recommended avoiding atropine premedication during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). We have examined the cardiovascular effects of ECT with or without atropine premedication. Consenting patients (n = 30) were allocated randomly before their third ECT session to receive atropine or no premedication. The rate pressure product (RPP) was recorded befor...
متن کاملComparison of the incidence of complications at induction and emergence in infants receiving oral atropine vs no premedication.
We studied 120 patients less than 1 yr of age, allocated randomly to receive atropine 40 micrograms kg-1 orally 1 h before operation (group A) or no premedication (group B). All patients underwent a standardized anaesthetic, including inhalation induction with halothane followed by atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1, tracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation. Monitoring during anaesthesia inclu...
متن کاملEffect of dose and premedication on induction complications with etomidate.
The induction characteristics of etomidate, a new i.v. hypnotic agent, were studied in 400 patients. Two hundred were premedicated with atropine and anaesthesia was induced with 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 or 0.35 mg/kg of etomidate. The remainder received one of four standard premedications and anaesthesia was induced with etomidate 0.3 mg/kg. Involuntary muscle movements occurred in more than 60% of patie...
