Isocapnic hyperpnoea accelerates recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND Hyperventilation should speed up elimination of volatile anaesthetic agents from the body, but hyperventilation usually results in hypocapnia. We compared recovery from isoflurane anaesthesia in patients allowed to recover with assisted spontaneous ventilation (control) and those treated with isocapnic hyperpnoea. METHODS Fourteen patients were studied after approximately 1 h of an...
متن کاملHyperbaric oxygen therapy and promoting neurological recovery following nerve trauma.
There is a constant search for new techniques that induce more extensive and rapid wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) involves placing a patient in a sealed chamber and elevating its pressure several-fold above ambient air pressure while the patient breathes 100% oxygen. HBO2T induces a number of physiological actions, and which wounds are selected for HBO2T depends on the specifi...
متن کاملHorses Auto-Recruit Their Lungs by Inspiratory Breath Holding Following Recovery from General Anaesthesia
This study evaluated the breathing pattern and distribution of ventilation in horses prior to and following recovery from general anaesthesia using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Six horses were anaesthetised for 6 hours in dorsal recumbency. Arterial blood gas and EIT measurements were performed 24 hours before (baseline) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after horses stood following anaes...
متن کاملChanges in the behaviour of honey-bees following their recovery from anaesthesia.
During the development of a marking technique which necessitated anaesthetizing honey-bees {Apis mellifica L.), certain after-effects of anaesthesia were noticed. This work is a comparison of the after-effects of treatments with carbon dioxide, nitrogen and chloroform; it shows how behaviour patterns may be affected by physiological factors. I am indebted to several of my colleagues at Rothamst...
متن کاملAssessment of Subtle Neurological Deficits
Objectives-This project was conducted to examine whether the computerised analysis of psychomotor responses available from Cognitive Drug Research is appropriate for measuring an effect oflow level exposure to mercury in dentists. Methods-A computerised battery of psychomotor tests was given to two groups of dentists (older dentists and trainees) and to two age matched control groups. As well a...
