Anaesthetic management of a child with Pallister-Killian syndrome.

Pallister-Killian syndrome is characterized by tetrasomy of the short arm of chromosome 12p, which produces mental retardation of varying degrees and dysmorphic characteristics. We describe anaesthesia in a 2-year-old child affected by this syndrome who underwent surgery for orchidopexy. Anaesthetic consisted of an inhalation mixture of O2, N2O and sevoflurane, together with an inguinal block with ropivacaine and administration of alfentanil plus ketorolac. Tracheal intubation was uneventful. No complications of any type were observed.

Effect of general anesthetics on human granulocyte chemiluminescence.

The effect of general anesthetics on human granulocyte 'phagocytic capacity' was tested, both in vivo and in vitro, by means of chemiluminescence. Halothane and ethrane produced a consistent degree of chemiluminescence inhibition, which, in vitro, was clearly dose-dependent.

Biochemical changes in neurosurgical patients under critical care treated with mannitol.

A Study was carried out on ten patients undergoing operations for brain tumors, who were treated with mannitol solutions. This caused a significant depletion of serum sodium ion and in an increase of discriminate osmolality (to 60 mosM/kg H2O). A hypothesis about the particular biochemical mechanism, involving the electrolyte and water distribution, is presented.
