Chloroform Anesthesia

Pregnancy and Chloroform Anesthesia

Pregnant dogs are susceptible to chloroform administered shortly before delivery or during labor, and show the same degree of liver injury as normal dogs, or even a somewhat greater one. Chloroform anesthesia may cause more or less hyaline necrosis in the border zone between the maternal and fetal parts of the placenta that may lead to hemorrhage, placental separation, and premature delivery. C...

Chloroform

It was perhaps fitting that Lieut.-Colonel Edward Lawrie, should signalise the year of his retirement from the post of R,esidenc\r Surgeon at Hyderabad by the publication of a volume on Chloroform, a subject with which he has been identified for many years past, and in defence of his views on which, and those of his master Syme, he has fought non sine gloria for many }7ears. The introduction to...

Atomistic Study of Lipid Membranes Containing Chloroform: Looking for a Lipid-Mediated Mechanism of Anesthesia

The molecular mechanism of general anesthesia is still a controversial issue. Direct effect by linking of anesthetics to proteins and indirect action on the lipid membrane properties are the two hypotheses in conflict. Atomistic simulations of different lipid membranes subjected to the effect of small volatile organohalogen compounds are used to explore plausible lipid-mediated mechanisms. Simu...
