The analgesic potency of anileridine and pethidine was compared in 28 patients by measuring their effect on withdrawal movements caused by pinching of the skin or by surgery during N2O + O2 anaesthesia. It appeared that anileridine is 3.5 to 4 times as potent as pethidine on a weight basis. In equianalgesic doses the incidence of side effects was equal after both drugs.

A study was performed on a series of healthy patients undergoing laparoscopy for tubal ligation with local anesthesia in a non-operating room setting. Ventilatory parameters, blood gas, pH, blood pressure, and pulse were monitored. The results revealed that no adverse effect on hemoglobin saturation or carbon dioxide exchange were found when fentanyl alone was used as a supplementary analgesic. An occasional vagal reflex was observed, and it is recommended that an intravenous line be established in the event that pharmacologic intervention should become necessary. Nitrous oxide produced les with this minimal analgesia.

The variations in pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid was studied in 20 patients before and after induction of anesthesia with alfatesine (0.1 ml/Kg). 14 patients received no other complementary drug (group 1); in the six other cases, 1 g. of acetylsalicylic acid was administered as an analgesic complement (group II). All of the patients spontnaeously ventilated an O2 - N2O 50 p. 100 mixture. The C.S.F. pressure fell by 39 p. 100 on the average (p. less than 0.001) in group I and did not vary in group II. This fall is essentially related to cerebral vasoconstriction, therefore to the fall in cerebral blood flow caused by Alfatesine. In group II hypercapnia was noted in all of the patients; it abolishes the cerebral vasoconstriction due to Alfatesine; the cerebral blood flow did not fall neither did the C.S.F. pressure.

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral av-differences of oxygen and circulating substrates were measured in normocapnic infants during general anaesthesia before elective surgery in order to study possible age-dependent variations. CBF was determined by a minor modification of the Kety-Schmidt technique from desaturation curves of nitrous oxide (N2O) in arterial and cerebral venous blood (N2O analysed by gas chromatography on 15 mul blood samples) after reduction of inhaled N2O from 75 to 50%. The reproducibility was +/-4.6%. Lactate, pyruvate and oxygen were determined in whole blood and amino acids in plasma by ion-exchange chromatography. Reliable av-differences of glucose, acetoacetate and D-beta-hydroxybutyrate could be calculated from plasma values and hematocrits. Mean values from 12 infants (age 11 days-12 months) were: CBF 69 ml/100 g0min-1; cerebral uptake (in mumoles/100 g-min-1): oxygen 104, glucose 27, acetoacetate 0.9, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate 2.3; cerebral release: lactate 2.4 and pyruvate 0.8. Significant uptake of amino acids was found only for histidine 0.95 and arginine 0.7. Significant correlations between arterial concentration and cerebral exchange were found for: ornithine, arginine, phenylalanine, aspartic acid, serine, glutamine and acetoacetate. CBF and substrate exchange were unrelated to age within the group. Infants had higher mean CBF and greater uptake of ketone bodies than has been reported in adults.

The safety and efficacy of halothane anaesthesia were investigated in 97 caesarean sections using 0.4-0.6% halothane added to a mixture of 61 N2O/3-4 1 O2. The administration of halothane was initiated before intubation and terminated immediately prior to delivery. Only one patient reported memories from the operation. The mean Apgar score 1 min after delivery (8.5) was significantly better than that (8.2) in 100 caesarean sections in which a mixture of 71 N2O/3 1 O2 was used. In 17 caesarean sections, the halothane concentrations were examined after 0.9% halothane had been given for exactly 1 min after intubation. It was found that halothane reached and passed the placenta after only 1 min. The levels in the maternal artery and umbilical vein were comparable. The levels in the maternal artery, maternal vein and umbilical vein were markedly higher than in the umbilical artery, which indicated an accumulation of halothane in the foetal tissues. However, due to the vigour of the newborn, halothane concentrations 10 min after birth were very low. The half-life of halothane in the maternal circulation was approximately 1 min with the described method of administration. Blood gas determinations, which were made in seven newborns, proved satisfactory.

The authors used during 75 prolonged general anaesthesia in maxillo-facial surgery CT. 1341 (Alfatesine) administered pure at constant flow rate through a double lumen venous cannula and electric perfuser. Four series of patients were thus distinguished depending on their use or not of N2O as the only analgesic and of gallamine. We do not agree with the classical assertion that CT. 1341 has a cumulative effect on some EEG results. The technique is quite inocuous and the authors propose a technique using CT. 1341 at a dose of 0.1 ml/kg for induction of anaesthesia with, later, 1 mg/kg of gallamine. Under a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide at 60 p. 100, the maintenance dose advised in 6.17 microliters per kilo, per minute of CT. 1341.

Related values of cardiac output and hepatic blood flow were measured in eight premedicated (pethidine 10 mg/kg b.w.) dogs under varying depths of fluoromar anaesthesia. The measurements were first taken under basis anaesthesia with barbiturate (mebumal natrium 25 mg/kg b.w.) gallamine (80 mg)-N2O-O-O2 (ratio 2 to 1) with controlled normoventilation, and then under increasing depths of fluoromar anaesthesia: increasing stepwise to 1 1/2-3 and 6% inspiratory concentrations. Finally the measurements were repeated after the fluoromar had been discontinued. Using the basis anaesthesia as a reference, it was found that 6% fluoromar gave a reduction in cardiac output (34%), heart rate (11%) and mean pressure in the aorta (18%). The peripheral resistance was simultaneously increased by 22%. The effect on the splanchnic blood flow was far less and without significant changes from one step in the anaesthesia to the next. Using 6% fluoromar it was found that there was a maximum reduction in blood flow of 20% of the initial value. There was unchanged splanchnic resistance during the whole of the investigation. After discontinuation of the fluoromar for 15 min and continued controlled ventilation (O2-N2O), rising heart rate and blood pressure were observed; however, cardiac output and splanchnic blood flow were unchanged. Corresponding to this, an additional increase in peripheral resistance of 10% and an insignificant increase of 5% in the splanchnic resistance were observed.

The cardiovascular effects of total hip placement were evaluated in 10 surgical patients, aged 55 to 82, while receiving fluroxene-N2O-O2 anesthesia. The anesthetic regimen caused mild cardiovascular depression. The placement of the acrylic cement into the acetabulum and femoral shaft also induced mild cardiovascular depression, but these changes were not significant at p less than 0.05. In one 67-yr-old woman, there were significant reductions of cardiac output and stroke volume 2 min after the insertion of acrylic into the femoral shaft, despite careful replacement of intravascular loss and careful anesthetic management. Methylmethacrylate (1 X 10(-6) to 1 X 10(-4), v/v) was administered to 24 isolated perfused rabbits hearts. These concentrations of methylmetacrylate are of the same order as measurable blood levels in surgical patients. There was a dose-dependent depression of left ventricular dP/dt correlated with a depression of the spontaneous heart rate. When the bradycardia was prevented by electrically pacing the hearts or the administration of atropine, the depressed dP/dt rose to control levels. Reduction in myocardial temperature and heart rate by means of reduction in perfusate temperature of the isolated hearts reduced the myocardial depressant effect of methylmethacrylate.

Adrenergic beta-receptor blocking agents, alprenolol, propranolol and practolol were given as a prophylactic measure to patients undergoing middle-ear microsurgery where adrenaline was deliberately infiltrated during halothane-N2O/O2 anaesthesia. These three beta blockers did not differ in their action on heart rate, arterial blood pressure, right ventricular pressure, CVP or peripheral pulse wave in equipotent doses, which were 0.04 mg/kg for alprenolol and propranolol and 0.4 mg/kg for practolol in this study. Atropine caused a highly significant increase in heart rate in the spontaneously ventilating group and maintained blood pressure at higher levels, although the latter difference was not significant. Alprenolol and propranolol offered partial protection for over 40 min against adrenaline-induced arrhythmias. Occasionally occuring tachyarrhythmias were easily terminated with a further dose of a beta blocker. The effective half-life of practolol was less than 15 min and doses up to 0.4 mg/kg were unable to prevent arrhythmias during adrenaline challenge.

Seven dogs were anaesthetized using mebumal natrium-O2-N2O-gallamonijdidum. The PaCO2 was kept at a constant level by means of mechanical ventilation, and non-carbonic acidosis was induced with HCl infusion (0.3 normal). The arterial pH varied from 7.45 to 6.88. During this acidosis, a rising arterio-venous oxygen difference was observed, with an unchanged total oxygen consumption. The pulse fell, but the mean pressures in the right atrium and aorta were unchanged. The peripheral resistance rose by 50%, whereas the fall in cardiac output of 20% was non-significant (0.10 greater than P greater than 0.05). The total splanchnic perfusion fell by 28%, and the change in flow was correlated to the change in pH. Total splanchnic perfusion (ml min-1) = -4078+655x pH (N = 42, r = 0.67, P less than 0.001). Total splanchnic perfusion as a fraction of the cardiac output remained unchanged. The resistance in the splanchnic area rose by 50%. The oxygen saturation in the portal vein and mixed venous blood changed in parallel. It is concluded that contraction of the blood vessels is the most important effect on the circulation resulting from non-carbonic acidosis during the anaesthesia employed here.
