[Total intravenous anesthesia in patients with postburn deformations of the face and neck].
Total intravenous anaesthesia was used in 1482 patients with postburn deformations of face and neck. Sodium hydroxybutyrate (SH) stimulating respiration at the expense of activation of cholinergic processes was the principal component of anaesthesia. The following protocols were used: 1) thalamonal-SH-seduxene-analgin, 23 cases; 2) barbiturates-SH-phentanyl-analgin, 182 cases; 3) seduxene-SH-phentanyl, 494 cases; 4) seduxene-SH-calypsol, 293 cases; 5) rogipnol-SH-phentanyl-calypsol, 394 cases; 6) dipidolor-SH-benzodiazepines (or barbiturates), 96 cases. All the operations were smooth, no serious complications were observed.
