Varidase Buccal (VB) was administered to 30 urological patients subjected to general anesthesia. Their ages ranged from 3 to 74. The VB administration was instituted right after arousal from anesthesia. Comparative studies were made with controls in respect to dyspnea, difficulty in expectoration, etc. after the arousal. Though the number of cases ...
Out of a total of 4, 282 operations performed during the p eriod of 12 years 1950 to 1961 in the Department of Urology of Kyoto University Hospital, 884 were nephrectomies, 113 pyelolithotomies, 304 ureterolithotomies and 169 prostatectomies. Of late, general anesthesia has become to be much more frequently used than others, particularly in surgery...
Effect of the Fluothane anesthesia on the renal function was stud i e d on the urine flow rate, urine and serum osmotic pressure, endCcreat, Cosm, CH2O, CNa, CK and urine K/Na ratio as its indicators. Following the anesthesia, decreases in the urine flow rate, serum osmotic pressure, endCcreat, CH2O and CNa were observed, and increases in the urine...
Ketalar was used for anesthetic purpose in minor operations, examinations and treatments. Twenty-five out of 27 cases showed excellent result. Minor operations included open renal biopsy and external genital surgery. Endoscopic examination, urethral dilation and change of nephrostomy tube in children were all well performed under Ketalar anesthesia...
Since sub-endocardial ischemia is the consequence of a discrepancy between the blood demand and supply of oxygen at this level, the study of the myocardial performance by the measurement of the endocardial viability ratio (E.V.R.) is both useful and possible during anesthesia. E.V.R. is the ratio between the oxygen supply and demand of the myocardi...
To determine the suitability of halothane anesthesia for studies of parasympathetic control of the endocrine pancreas in dogs, we assessed the effect of halothane on reflex, direct neural, and direct chemical activation of the parasympathetic input to the islet. Levels or output of pancreatic polypeptide (PP), an islet hormone under predominant cho...
BACKGROUND: Although meperidine is an effective treatment of postanesthetic shivering, its mechanism of action remains unknown. Investigation of other drugs might help clarify the mechanisms by which shivering can be controlled. Accordingly, we investigated the efficacy of clonidine, an alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, and ketanserin, a 5-hydroxytryptam...
BACKGROUND: The authors tested the hypotheses that: (1) the vasoconstriction threshold during combined epidural/general anesthesia is less than that during general anesthesia alone; and (2) after vasoconstriction, core cooling rates during combined epidural/general anesthesia are greater than those during general anesthesia alone. Vasoconstriction ...
The effect of thiopentone/halothane anaesthesia on the release of endogenous opioid, adrenocorticotrophin, arginine vasopressin, cortisol and catecholamine was investigated in ponies. The contribution made by halothane itself was studied by maintaining six ponies with a constant 12 per cent end tidal halothane concentration and five with a concentr...
