[Acute ischemia of lower limb and long-term treatment with epidural bupivacaine].

We report the treatment of an ischemic lower limb (arterial obstruction shown by angiography at popliteal level, proximal to common tibioperoneal artery) with 0.125% and 0.20% epidural bupivacaine, which was continuously administered by pump during 30 days. Simultaneously, 8 mg morphine chloride was administered every 24 hours by epidural route, anticoagulation with heparin was started, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation was used. The favorable outcome, with sufficient peripheral revascularization, permitted to preserve the limb. During therapy no sign of cardiac toxicity attributable to bupivacaine was detected.

[Infusion of propofol as anesthetic and antiemetic drug].

OBJECTIVES: To determine the possible antiemetic effect of propofol as the single agent for intravenous anesthesia in children undergoing strabismus surgery, in comparison with other techniques. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Eighty ASA I and II patients between 3 and 10 years, divided into 4 groups of 20, were studied prospectively. Groups I, II and III were premedicated with dehydrobenzylperidol (90 micrograms/kg) i.m. Group I then received sleep doses of thiopental and N2O. Group II received propofol, sleep doses, and N2O. Groups III and IV received sleep doses of propofol followed by intravenous perfusion (10 mg/kg/h). RESULTS: Half the patients in group I experienced postoperative vomiting, more than in groups II, III and IV (p < 0.05). The incidence of vomiting in group II was 30%. Groups III and IV experienced less vomiting (5-10%) than did groups I and II (p < 0.05). The incidence of bradycardia during surgery was higher in groups III and IV (p < 0.05); medical treatment was not required. CONCLUSIONS: Propofol used as the single agent for induction and maintenance of anesthesia offers clear advantages in reducing emesis after strabismus surgery.
