Relief of pain after surgery. A comparison of sublingual buprenorphine and intramuscular papaveretum.

Sublingual buprenorphine (0.4 mg) and intramuscular papaveretum (20 mg) were compared in sixty patients after abdominal hysterectomy. Though slower in onset of effect the sublingual tablets proved effective for pain relief and appeared to have a longer duration of action. The only side-effects of note were nausea and vomiting which occurred after both treatments. Haloperidol was tried as a long acting antiemetic and appeared successful.

Postoperative analgesia using continuous infusion of papaveretum.

A technique of postoperative analgesia using continuous intravenous papaveretum with a dosage derived from previous intravenous titration is described. Hourly pain scores, pulse and respiration rates, and blood pressure readings were recorded. The patients were followed up until discharge from hospital. The nature and incidence of various complications were noted.

Use of propanidid and lignocaine to modify the increase in serum potassium concentration following injection of suxamethonium.

A technique of general anaesthesia involving the use of propanidid, nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane followed by a slow injection of suxamethonium and lignocaine is described. The technique decreased the increase in serum potassium concentration that follows the injection of suxamethonium and, it is suggested, possesses advantages over the existing practice of the injection of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs before suxamethonium in an attempt to reduce the frequency of serious cardiac arrhythmia.

Oral premedication: diazepam, metoclopramide and a drink.

A technique of premiedication using oral diazepam and metoclopramide with a drink is described and shown to provide better sedation and less vomiting than pethidine and atropine given intramuscularly without a drink to a group of similar patients.
