Errors in oxygen tension measurements caused by halothane.
Halothane, independent of oxygen tension, increased the signal of the gold/silver-silver chloride microelectrode. The output of microelectrodes at different oxygen tensions in the presence of increasing amounts of halothane has been measured. Halothane causes an increase in the electrode signal which is proportional to its concentration. This effect results from the polarographic reduction of h...
متن کاملTension Pneumoperitoneum Caused by Obstipation
Emergency physicians are often required to evaluate and treat undifferentiated patients suffering acute hemodynamic compromise (AHC). It is helpful to apply a structured approach based on a differential diagnosis including all causes of AHC that can be identified and treated during a primary assessment. Tension pneumoperitoneum (TP) is an uncommon condition with the potential to be rapidly fata...
متن کاملOxygen tension measurements in bone marrow fleck cultures.
Cultures-Marrow fluid was aspirated from the sternum, ilium or vertebral spine and placed in a tube containing 1 mg. of heparin dissolved in 1 ml. of normal serum. After pouring it into a petri dish, the separated flecks of marrow w’re cultured as described dl’ Fifty marrow flecks from 7 individuals were cultured, and measurements of oxygen tension in the fluid medium were taken at intervals. C...
متن کاملA comparison of the effects of thiopentone and halothane anaesthesia on critical oxygen tension.
RECENT WORK has shown that barbiturate anaesthesia protects tissues against hypoxic damage. ~,2 The mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. ~ However, it is known that barbiturates as well as halothane affect the respiratory enzymes. 4-9 This information has been obtained from tissue culture. Unfortunately it is difficult to extrapolate results from tissue culture to whole animals. It is als...
متن کاملTension pneumoperitoneum caused by blunt trauma.
Tension pneumoperitoneum (TPP), the accumulation of free intraabdominal air under pressure, is a rare event. TPP usually occurs from bowel surgery or bowel perforations. Less commonly, TPP occurs in the presence of pneumothoraces or during positive pressure ventilation. Trauma has rarely been a reported cause of TPP. The cases of 2 patients with TPP after blunt trauma are reported. The pathophy...
