Ketamine anaesthesia for caesarean section in poor-rick patients.

Caesarean section in a poor-risk patient treated intensively before and after operation is described. The operation was carried out when the patient was in diabetic coma with metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disturbances and low arterial blood pressure. Anaesthesia was conducted using ketamine with nitrous oxide and oxygen. Controlled respiration was performed administering fractionated doses of suxzmethonium.

The effect of methoxyflurane on certain renal function parameters.

In 43 patients the effect of low concentrations of methoxyflurane on the renal function was studied. The blood levels of urea, creatinine, uric acid, sodium and potassium, and specific weight of urine was determined. It was found that the anaesthetic technique used and methoxyflurane concentrations in the range of 0.2-0.5 vol% caused no abnormalities in renal function. It seems that methoxyflurane in low concentrations (0.2-0.5 vol%) is the best method of anaesthesia with this agent, with the simultaneous use of a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture and controlled ventilation.

Ketamine used for anaesthesia in children for pneumoencephalography.

Ketamine was given together with premedication (droperidol + pethidine + atropine) for general anaesthesia in 36 children during pneumoencephalography. Most children (26) had epilepsy. No significant cardiovascular and respiratory disturbances were observed during and after anaesthesia. This proposed method of anaesthesia in children is sufficient for short-lasting diagnostic procedures, particularly for pneumoencephalography.
