Effects of general anaesthesia on the intraocular pressure in man. Trichloroethylene in nitrous oxide and oxygen.

چکیده
The effect of TCE on the intraocular pressure was investigated in eight patients under thiopentone nitrous oxide/oxygen anaesthesia, using a muscle relaxant (pancuronium bromide). Pulmonary ventilation was controlled and the end-tidal carbon dioxide was maintained at 5 per cent. In every patient the intraocular pressure was observed to rise as TCE was administered and then to return to the initial level when the administration of TCE ceased.

The intraocular pressure (IOP) is often measured under general anaesthesia in children and mentally defective adults. The most commonly used agent (halothane) has been shown to cause a marked fall in IOP (Al-Abrak and Samuel, I974). It was therefore thought desirable to search for an anaesthetic agent which does not affect the IOP. There are only two reports on the effect of trichloroethylene (...
متن کاملBlood loss from conjunctival wounds: a comparison of halothane and trichloroethylene.
Forty-eight patients aged 2 to 18 years underwent surgery for the correction of convergent strabismus. Anaesthesia was maintained using nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane in 24; the remainder received nitrous oxide, oxygen and trichloroethylene. Shed blood was collected on to cotton wool pledgets and the quantity calculated after lysis of the red cells with liberation of oxyhaemoglobin. The lo...
متن کاملMethohexital in dental anaesthesia.
IN the majority of anaesthetics given to patients in the dental surgery or clinic the agents used are nitrous oxide and oxygen with or without a supplement such as trichloroethylene. If nitrous oxide with oxygen or air is used alone then it is often difficult to obtain satisfactory conditions for the dentist without subjecting the patient to some degree of hypoxia. There is no doubt that hypoxi...
متن کاملEffects of general anaesthesia on the intraocular pressure in man. Comparison of tubocurarine and pancuronium in nitrous oxide and oxygen.
The introduction of new anaesthetic drugs demands that their action should be compared with that of already established agents. Pancuronium bromide was introduced into clinical anaesthetic practice by Baird and Reid (I967), and has since achieved widespread acceptance because it is reputed to have fewer cardiovascular side-effects than other non-depolarizing relaxants (Baird, I968; Sellick, 197...
متن کاملEffect of anaesthetic technique on blood loss in termination of pregnancy.
Seventy-five patients were anaesthetized for termination of pregnancy by suction curettage using four methods of anaesthesia. Blood loss was measured with a haemoglobin dilution technique. The patients' opinion of the anaesthetic was recorded. Blood loss was unacceptably high with thiopentone, nitrous oxide and oxygen with trichloroethylene compared with the other three techniques which were: d...
