Aspects of the pharmacology of local anaesthetic agents.
The use of local anaesthetic techniques varies with the anaesthetist's working conditions, direction of interest, and hence geographically. Thus they are mainly used in certain centres in America and Canada, and in the Scandinavian countries. Interest in, and use of, local anaesthesia has increased during the last decade. There are many reasons for this. The use of these techniques enables the ...
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 کاملToxicity of inhalation anaesthetic agents.
Although hundreds of compounds on the chemist's shelf are known to produce anaesthesia, relatively few are used clinically. The requirements for a clinically useful anaesthetic agent are necessarily stringent and include: a wide margin of safety, total reversibility of anaesthetic effect and an absence of long-term toxicity. In addition, a successful inhalation anaesthetic agent must combine th...
متن کاملAdverse reactions to anaesthetic agents.
Sir,—Even though some small changes in heart rate were shown to be statistically significant, no clinical significance was attached to such changes. The study was primarily done to assess the overall need of anticholinergic premedication in patients undergoing minor surgery and as such drugs were not administered on a weight basis. However, Dr Gilmour's comment has aroused our interest in this ...
