Breath-by-breath halothane monitoring during anaesthesia. A study in children.
The use of a halothane meter in routine paediatric anaesthesia with controlled ventilation is described. The results demonstrate the accuracy achieved in the control of the alveolar halothane concentration. Measurement of the alveolar halothane concentration revealed responses to surgical stimulation otherwise obscured by neuromuscular blockade, and this may indicate insufficient depth of anaes...
متن کاملMeasurement of breath-by-breath gas exchange during general anaesthesia.
We describe a single flow transducer breath-by-breath gas exchange measurement system suitable for use during general anaesthesia. The system uses a Fleisch No. 2 pneumotachograph, a mass spectrometer and a microcomputer to give real-time continuous measurements. Correction for apparent gas exchange attributable to changes in gas stored in the lung (functional residual capacity) is available. T...
متن کاملRecovery after single-breath halothane induction of anaesthesia in daycase patients. A comparison with thiopentone.
A single-breath technique of inhalational induction of anaesthesia allows intravenous induction agents to be avoided. We have investigated recovery from anaesthesia in 40 daycase patients, using tests of psychomotor function. Patients anaesthetised with inhalational induction awaken earlier than those who receive thiopentone, but not significantly earlier. There were no significant differences ...
متن کاملEffect of Fluoxetine Therapy on Breath-Holding Spells in Children: A Clinical Trial Study
Background: Breath-holding spells (BHS) is a sudden and reflexive phenomenon that is common in infancy and early childhood. Despite the harmless nature of BHS, being subjected to this phenomenon is very stressful for parents and sometimes requires treatment. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of fluoxetine therapy (as an anxiolytic medication) on pediatric BHS....
متن کاملBiological monitoring by breath and urine analyses
A mathematical model developed previously has been used to study some aspects of biological monitoring of exposure to trichloroethylene (TRI) by the analysis of this solvent in alveolar air or of its metabolites, trichloroethanol (TCE) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), in urine. Assuming that a biological control must be representative of the time-weighted average concentration (TWA), it was foun...
