Respiratory mechanics in anaesthesia.
The present knowledge of respiratory mechanics in anaesthetized humans is astonishingly scanty. This probably reflects the notion that measurement of the mechanics of ventilation during anaesthesia is difficult to perform. In fact, in mechanically ventilated anaesthetized-paralysed humans, a detailed analysis of respiratory mechanics can be performed readily with simple and commonly available e...
متن کاملAnaesthesia in Upper Respiratory Obstruction.
The causes of upper respiratory obstruction are reviewed. The symptoms and signs are graded according to severity. It is stressed that cyanosis indicates very severe obstruction, and that stridor at rest is a very informative local sign of severe obstruction. In severe obstruction respiratory depressant drugs and atropine are contraindicated while helium may be helpful. When general anaesthesia...
متن کاملRespiratory Mechanics
Respiratory Mechanics by Theodore Wilson is a slim paperback volume (64 pages) describing three aspects of the way the lungs work: 1) pressure– volume relationships with regard to the lungs, 2) chest wall and muscles with regard to how the respiratory pump works, and 3) gas flow and transport. Relevant details about the author are missing, which I think is a loss. He is Emeritus Professor of Ae...
متن کاملPropofol or halothane anaesthesia for children with asthma: effects on respiratory mechanics.
Propofol may cause histamine release and alter airway tone and reactivity. Although its use has been reported to be safe in asthmatics, there is a lack of information on its effect on lung function in children with asthma. We measured respiratory mechanics after i.v. or inhalation anaesthesia in 60 children, aged 2-12 yr, with or without asthma. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol 3 mg kg-1, ...
متن کاملAlteration in Respiratory Rhythm in Surgical Anaesthesia.
Breathing combines for us the functions of carburettor and exhaust. It provides a means of taking in sufficient oxygen to satisfy metabolic needs, and of expelling carbon dioxide, the product of organic combustion. It is, therefore, rational that respiratory activity should be controlled by the stimuli of oxygen need and carbon dioxide accumulation. Carbon dioxide, however, is also an essential...
