Althesin infusion and regional blockade anaesthesia for major gynaecological surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of an infusion of a 10% Althesin solution to induce sleep in patients undergoing major gynaecological surgery performed under extradural analgesia are presented. There was no significant depressant effect on the cardiovascular system, but a predictable and preventable depression of respiratory function. Liver function tests were unaffected by the infusion. Operating conditions were satisfactory in all patients and postoperative recovery was smooth and uncomplicated.

Comparison of infusions of propofol and methohexitone to provide light general anaesthesia during surgery with regional blockade.
General anaesthesia was induced with, and maintained by, an infusion of either propofol or methohexitone, in patients undergoing surgery with the aid of regional blockade. Both agents provided satisfactory and controllable anaesthesia. Complications were few with a similar incidence for the two drugs. Recovery from anaesthesia was significantly faster following propofol.
متن کاملAnaesthesia for studies of the cerebral circulation: a comparison of phencyclidine and althesin in the baboon.
The effects of phencyclidine on cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen and carbon dioxide reactivity were compared with those of Althesin in six baboons. Under similar and stable levels (Stage 1) of electroencephalographic activity cerebral blood flow and the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen were significantly less during the infusion of Althesin when compared with the values...
متن کامل24-hour Althesin-fentanyl anaesthesia in dogs. Time course of haemodynamic changes.
A 24-h anaesthetic using a constant flow infusion of Althesin, fentanyl and pancuronium was given to 10 artificially ventilated dogs. No statistically significant haemodynamic changes occurred during the study, suggesting that the technique may be of value in long-term physiological studies.
متن کاملArrhythmia and oral surgery: induction of anaesthesia with althesin.
The high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias during oral surgery has received considerable attention in recent years (Kaufman, 1965, 1966; Ryder, 1971; Alexander, 1971; Thurlow, 1972; Rollason and Hall, 1973). Dodds and Twissell (1972) showed that the recently introduced intravenous anaesthetic Althesin protected the cat heart against arrhythmias induced by the combination of halothane and adrenal...
متن کاملHypoxic ventilatory drive in the dog under Althesin anaesthesia.
Althesin was administered i.v. to eight dogs, using two different rates of infusion (6.55 +/- 2.13 microliter kg-1 min and 12.80 +/- 2.00 microliter kg-1 min). Ventilation (TI, TE, RR, TI/Ttot, VT, VE, VT/TI) and arterial blood-gas tensions were measured in air and during a 10-min period of 100% oxygen breathing. For both rates of Althesin infusion the ventilatory response to oxygen was identic...
