Thiopentone-suxamethonium mixture. A method for reducing the aspiration hazard during induction of anaesthesia.

چکیده
Injection of a thiopentone-suxamethonium mixture is a safe method for rapid intubation in cases where the risk of regurgitation is high. It shortens the period between the onset of unconsciousness and endotracheal intubation. With the technique described the likelihood of awareness of fasciculations is very small. It forms a useful addition to the techniques available for dealing with a patient having a full stomach and it can be combined with other methods of reducing the risk of aspiration during induction of anaesthesia.

Serum potassium changes during induction of anaesthesia.
Serum potassium levels of 53 patients before and after induction with halothane and oxygen, halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen, and thiopentone, showed a significant decrease after reaching the first surgical plane. After the administration of the depolarizing agent suxamethonium serum potassium levels increased significantly more in the two halothane groups than in the thiopentone group. It i...
متن کاملPropofol or thiopentone: effects on intraocular pressure associated with induction of anaesthesia and tracheal intubation (facilitated with suxamethonium).
Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) were studied in patients given propofol 2.1 mg kg-1 (n = 30) or thiopentone 4.9 mg kg-1 (n = 30) followed by suxamethonium 1.0 mg kg-1 and tracheal intubation. Half the patients in each group received an additional smaller dose of the same induction agent (propofol 1.0 mg kg-1 or thiopentone 2.0 mg kg-1) immediately before intubation. Both agents produced s...
متن کاملThe influence of ketamine induction on potassium changes and fasciculations following suxamethonium.
Plasma potassium levels were measured during induction with thiopentone or ketamine and subsequent administration of suxamethonium. The presence and magnitude of fasciculations following suxamethonium were noted. In addition arterial blood gases and glucose levels were measured. All patients displayed a small decrease in plasma potassium levels following the induction agents and a similar rise ...
متن کاملAwareness during endotracheal intubation: A comparison of ketamine and thiopentone.
As a result of a report suggesting an unacceptably high incidence (2%) of awareness during endotracheal intubation, two groups of patients were anaesthetized in a standard manner using a rapid induction technique. In one group of 38 patients anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone 3 mg/kg and in the other group of 39 patients anaesthesia was induced with ketamine 2 mg/kg. Suxamethonium 1 mg/kg...
متن کاملAwareness during general anaesthesia for bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy using the apnoeic oxygenation technique.
Two hundred patients were interviewed before and after elective bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy. Premedication consisted of pethidine together with either atropine or hyoscine. Anaesthetic drugs were restricted to thiopentone and suxamethonium. Eight patients (4%) described some degree of awareness. No statistically significant correlation with awareness was demonstrated for the premedication, the...
