Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring of patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation

The objective of this study was to assess the changes in transcutaneous oxygen tension in pediatric patients undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen analgesia. A total of 19 healthy patients, ranging in age from 3 to 19 years with a mean age of 9.8 years, were included. Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring was performed; following stabilization, baseline readings were obtained. Oxygen was delivered at 3 I/...

A Combined Manometer and Safety Valve for Intratracheal Anæsthesia

capable of accurate adjustment and dosage, at the same time simple in construction, and as far as possible reliable in its action, they started experimenting in March of this year. The first piece of the apparatus to be taken in hand was the safety valve. Those familiar with the intratracheal method of administering anaesthetics well know that an efficient safety valve is a sine qua non. Two ty...

The Administration of Nitrous Oxide as a Preliminary to Ether Anæsthesia

feel that an apology was required for bringing up such a hackneyed question. All the unpleasant sensations experienced during the early stages of ether anaesthesia may be avoided by giving a small quantity of nitrous oxide first. First of all, I wish to express my regret that chloroform is still so largely used, when we have a far safer and an equally satisfactory anaesthetic in ether. As far a...
