The Effects Of Suxamethonium And Pancuronium On The Haemodynamic Response To Endotracheal Intubation, F A. Khan, R S. Kamal

Department of Anaesthesia

The pharmacological effects of suxamethonium and pancuronium on the cardiovascular system may vary and therefore alter the haemodynamic response to intubation. The arterial blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate pressure product were measured as parameters of haemodynamic change in forty adult ASA. I and II patients undergoing laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in a randomised controlled study. The patients were induced with either thiopentone/suxamethonium (Group A) or thiopentone/pancuronium (Group B). There was no significant difference between the groups on comparison of systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes. Pancuronium, however, caused a significantly higher rise in the heart rate after …

The Effects Of Needle Play On Pre-School Children's Anxiety Concerning Injections, Michelle Anne Belyea

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of needle play in reducing pre-school children's anxiety concerning injections. The Pre-school Observational Scale of Anxiety was used to measure the degree of anxiety experienced by the children. The hypothesis stated that there would be a significant decrease in anxiety of pre-school children who participated in needle play as compared with the anxiety scores of pre-school children who did not participate in needle play.The sample consisted of 20 pre-school children who were receiving routine health care and injections for immunizations or PPDs (purified protein derivative) at a county health department …

The Effect Of Theophylline On Intestinal Bicarbonate Transport Measured By Ph Stat In Amphiuma, Michael A. Imon, John F. White

Department of Anesthesia Faculty Articles

1. The influence of theophylline on the mucosa to serosa and serosa to mucosa fluxes of HCO3- were measured by the pH stat technique in isolated segments of proximal small intestine from Amphiuma maintained under short-circuited conditions. The mucosal or serosal fluid was exposed to media containing 25 mM-HCO3- (pH 7.4) while the pH of unbuffered media in the opposite compartment was maintained by addition of acid. 2. Theophylline significantly increased the secretory flux of HCO3- and significantly reduced the absorptive flux when measured in Cl- -free (SO4(2-)) media. 3. In normal media theophylline did not alter the secretory flux …

Intestinal Bicarbonate Secretion In Amphiuma Measured By Ph Stat In Vitro: Relationship With Metabolism And Transport Of Sodium And Chloride Ions, Michael A. Imon, John F. White

Department of Anesthesia Faculty Articles

1. Isolated Amphiuma small intestine exposed on both surfaces to buffered or unbuffered media generated gradients of pH under short-circuited conditions consistent with secretion of HCO3(-). 2. When unbuffered mucosal medium was maintained at pH 7.4 by addition of acid, alkalinization of the mucosal medium occurred at a rate of 1-2 microequiv/hr cm2 under short-circuit conditions (Isc) and was reduced by anoxia, acetazolamide or removal of CO2. 3. The rate of HCO3(-) secretion (JHCO3(-)) was reduced at a mucosal pH above or below 7.4 and was proportional to serosal HCO3(-). 4. JHCO3(-) was reduced in Na+-free (choline) and Cl-free (SO4(2-) …

Intravenous Procaine During Thoracic Surgery, Forrest E. Leffingwell

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

Surgery on the heart and paracardial structures or traction on the hilus of the lung may initiate serious arrhythmias which can result in death if not promptly controlled. Procedures involving the pericardium are particularly apt to be followed by severe derangements of rhythm. Thus anesthesiology is faced with another challenge.

It is now evident that the intravenous administration of procaine has become a valuable addition to the armamentarium of the anesthesiologist in his endeavor to preserve the integrity of the thread of life while the surgeon carries out his heroic assignment without restrictions.

A Resume Of Intravenous Procaine Therapy, Fred B. Moor

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

Summary:

1. The intravenous injection of procaine hydrochloride for a variety of clinical conditions constitutes a surprising new chapter in therapeutics.

2. With adequate precautions as to dosage and rate of administration, procaine can be safely given by the intravenous route in concentrations of 0.1 to 1 per cent.

It has been used successfully for serum sickness, the pruritis of jaundice, trauma of soft tissues, bones and joints, in the prevention and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias during intrathoracic surgery, for the relief of pain in osteoarthritis, for the control of pain during the dressing of burns, for postoperative pain, and …

The Central Action Of Procaine, Clarence W. Olsen

Medical Arts and Sciences: A Scientific Journal of the College of Medical Evangelists

Procaine was introduced as a local anesthetic with advantage over cocaine, especially as regards relative freedom from dangerous central effects. It [now] appears that when procaine hydrochloride is injected intravenously, the indications of a central effect are more emphatic when the solution is given rather rapidly.

Probably some of the central effects of procaine can be obtained with local infiltration. This is, of course, generally admitted when untoward results occur, but it should also be considered in connection with the favorable effects. Macpherson recently expressed the idea that in some cases we are getting the beneficial effects of procaine injection …
