[Cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells during balanced anesthesia with isoflurane versus total intravenous anesthesia].

Using two different anaesthetic techniques, the author have investigated the cytotoxicity in process during abdominal surgery. In these investigations, no significant differences have been demonstrated in the behaviour of the NK with the two techniques adopted. The increase noted in traceable to the mobilization of the N.K. of the extra vascular deposits. The increase of the cytotoxic activity is probably traceable to the action of the endogenous opiate substances.

A visual representation of a model for monitoring the state of oxygenation in the critically ill patients. Description and clinical validation.

The authors propose a new circular diagram for monitoring the oxygenation status of critically ill patients. This diagram contains some well known parameters; other ones are suggested to evaluate the pulmonary function and the capability of blood oxygenation. The calculation and a "BASIC" program are provided to use the diagram. This method offers a fast and easy monitoring of oxygenation status by a very small arterious and central venous blood sample.
