Laryngo-tracheo-bronchial anesthesia for bronchoscopy and bronchography with pontocaine.

The combined diagnostic procedure of bronchography and bronchoscopy.

use of a mixture of sulphanilamide and iodized oil, and this was used later by Houghton and Ramsay (1951). Though this mixture largely avoided the difficulty of retention in the alveoli, it was extremely viscous and rather difficult to expel from the syringe. The introduction of propyliodone ("dionosil") has rendered the use of such mixtures unnecessary, since any propyliodone which does reach ...

Bronchography with Hytrast.

A comparison of local anaesthetics for venepuncture.

AIM To compare the effectiveness of EMLA cream and Ametop gel in providing analgesia for venous cannulation. METHODS Single blind study in 120 children. RESULTS Both anaesthetic agents produced adequate analgesia. However, Ametop gel was more effective, with a statistically significant difference in the pain scores of the two groups (p < 0.05).
