In an operation involving coronary bypass grafting, anastomoses to the ascending aorta with saphenous vein or radial artery grafts may increase the possibility of post-operative strokes by the dislodgement of embolic particles into the arterial vasculature. We report a bi-directional single anastomotic technique to decrease the possibility of intra and postoperative strokes and to allow earlier...

Fetal blood flow was examined during epidural analgesia in six women with uncomplicated pregnancies undergoing elective caesarean section. A non-invasive, ultrasonic technique was used to measure blood flow in the fetal descending aorta and intra-abdominal part of the umbilical vein before induction of analgesia with etidocaine and bupivacaine and 15 and 30 minutes afterwards. No appreciable ch...

Subarachnoid block (SAB) or general anaesthesia (GA) was induced in 85 patients undergoing total hip replacement. The frequency of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), assessed by fibrinogen uptake studies and venography, was 29% in those patients receiving SAB and 54% in the GA group. Total blood loss (intra-operative and post-operative wound suction drainage) in SAB group was 66% and total transfusion...
