Investigation of allergic and hypersensitivity reactions to anaesthetic agents.
Some three million general anaesthetics are administered annually in the United Kingdom, for a variety of surgical procedures. It is inevitable that untoward reactions will occur, but it is the incidence of the reactions which gives cause for concern. Lunn and Mushin (1982) described almost 300 deaths per year totally attributable to anaesthesia and a much larger number, 1800 deaths, in which a...
متن کاملIdentification and quantitation of hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous anaesthetic agents.
It is not possible to distinguish between direct pharmacological effects and immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions by clinical observation alone and errors may occur in the absence of laboratory tests. A convenient and simple test is the measurement of plasma complement C3 consumption and conversion in sequential blood samples taken at intervals over the 24 h following an adverse response.
متن کاملOphthaine (proparacine Hydrochloride) a Local Anaesthetic for Ophthalmic Surgery.
THERE has long been a need in ophthalmology for a pleasant, non-irritant, safe and effective local analgesic, free from such side-effects as pupil dilatation or cycloplegia. The compounds in common use to-day, such as cocaine 4 per cent. (D.D.A.), affect the pupil and desiccate the cornea, and amethocaine (Pantocain, Pontocaine, Tetracain) and related compound amylocaine (Dorsacaine, Phenolaine...
متن کاملOperating room air pollution: influence of anaesthetic circuit, vapour concentration, gas flow and ventilation.
Atmospheric halothane was sampled from three selected operating theatres and anaesthetic rooms during the middle of operating sessions. Two of the operating theatres studied were ventilated with total air exchange once every six minutes; the third operating theatre had no ventilation. End-tidal samples were obtained from anaesthetists. Halothane vapour concentrations were analysed by gas-liquid...
متن کاملCyclooxygense-1 inhibition delays hypersensitivity to nerve injury
Despite the important role of both cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms (i.e. COX-1 and COX-2) in maintenance of hypersensitivity following peripheral nerve injury, their role in the development of neuropathic pain is not clear. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of COX inhibitors to address the potential role of COX isozymes in the development of neuropathic pain in rats after c...
