Anaesthetic potency in epidural analgesia.
IN an extensive literature on epidural analgesia there appears to be some difference of opinion as to the intensity of nerve block produced by different drugs, perhaps partly attributable to the fact that many patients are given light narcosis in addition to nerve block, nowadays, which may conceal differences of drug action. In quoting a few of the many authorities, the following drugs are lis...
متن کاملPotency of mixtures of general anaesthetic agents.
The anaesthetic potencies of binary mixtures of the gases argon (Ar), nitrous oxide (N2O) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) have been measured using mice. The mixtures SF6-N2O and N2O-Ar showed additive behaviour, whereas the constituents of the mixture SF6-Ar were non-additive, having a smaller total potency than expected. Further experiments on this mixture with Italian Great Newts and on the ca...
متن کاملAnaesthetic potency of inhalation agents is independent of membrane microviscosity.
The decrease in membrane microviscosity of erythrocyte ghosts in the presence of clinically relevant concentrations of seven inhalation anaesthetic agents was studied using fluorescence polarization anisotropy of the membrane incorporated fluorescent probes 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 1-[4-trimethylammoniumphenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. All anaesthetic agents produced a dose-dependent...
متن کاملThe Minimum Universal Cost Flow in an Infeasible Flow Network
In this paper the concept of the Minimum Universal Cost Flow (MUCF) for an infeasible flow network is introduced. A new mathematical model in which the objective function includes the total costs of changing arc capacities and sending flow is built and analyzed. A polynomial time algorithm is presented to find the MUCF.
متن کاملA Universal Valve for Anaesthetic Circuits.
Intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR) is best accomplished with a completely closed system during the inspiratory phase, so that all gas squeezed out of the reservoir bag will go to the patient's lungs. Under these conditions ventilation is volume-controlled. A low pressure in the system during the expiratory and resting phases will have least adverse effect on the patient; however,...
