In this study, our induction methods of endotracheal anesthesia was evaluated with reference to electrocardiogram, hemodynamic status and arterial blood gas analysis on 153 patients. From the beginning of induction, electrocardiogram was recorded continuously to the completion of intubation. The blood pressure and heart rate were also measured. Arterial blood samples were taken at 40 seconds of apneic period after the mask was removed from the patient's face (CONT group), at 40 seconds of apnea with intratracheal spray (LIDO group), and after intubation following intratracheal spray (INT group). In the electrocardiographic survey, arrhythmias during intubation were rare (1/113, 0.9%). PaCO2 values in INT group showed a significant elevation (+ 14.0 mmHg; p < 0.01) compared to these in CONT group. As a result of careful and gentle induction techniques, the incidence of arrhythmias during intubation was very low. However, an elevation of PaCO2 was not avoidable, even in smooth and successful intubation. In conclusion, the importance of more adequate ventilation coupled with skillful intubation in a shorter period to avoid hypercapnia and arrhythmias is appreciated again in the endotracheal anesthesia for the maxillofacial surgical patients with anatomical airway problems.

Contact lenses can induce changes in the epithelium, stroma and endothelium of the cornea, all of which can be observed clinically using the slit-lamp biomicroscope. These complications include epithelial microcysts, vacuoles and staining, stromal oedema and vascularization, and endothelial polymegethism and blebs. Each complication can be attributed to one or more aetiological factors such as hypoxia, hypercapnia, tissue acidosis, trauma, hypersensitivity and toxicity. This review outlines the way in which these complications manifest clinically, and consideration is given to management strategies and likely prognoses. Early detection of these conditions and appropriate action can usually prevent more serious ocular complications.
