[Blood supply readiness in case of war or disasters].

The supply and use of blood during war or disaster require efficient cooperation between national and regional civilian authorities and blood banks as well as the military chain of command and medical units. Tasks and responsibilities are regulated by a directive issued by the Norwegian Armed Forces Joint Medical Services, specifying that during crises, civilian blood banks will be ordered to provide blood to military units. Based upon information obtained by a questionnaire survey, blood banks have an adequate capacity even if the normal power supply or computerised systems fail temporarily. However, plans are presently lacking for the organisation and operation of the civilian blood supply during a crisis requiring cooperation with military units. Key roles and responsibilities for personnel on the civilian side must be defined. Normal and alternative routes of communication must be established and tested regularly.

[History of the Norwegian Military Medical Association].

The Norwegian Military Medical Association was founded in 1882 by a small group of army doctors. The principal aim of the Association was to establish a structured military medical corps with command functions. Furthermore, the newly founded group of active military doctors was intended to develop the medical knowledge and skills unique to this branch of medicine. In 1888 a military medical organization and command structure was finally accepted. The Association was very active for the first 25 years, printing articles and giving lectures on military medical subjects. After World War II the military medical service was organized in "HQ Defence Command Norway, Joint Medical Service". For many years to come this new organization took over some of the functions of the Military Medical Association. In 1952 the Association was accepted as a special branch of the Norwegian Medical Association. The Norwegian Military Medical Association is now active again, both as an organization and professionally. The number of members is increasing, and includes military doctors in active service as well as civilian doctors with an interest in military medicine.

[Military insurance. Military insurance regulations and the handling of diseases/injuries among draftees].

This article discusses civilian and military insurance regulations, including social support in case of illness or injury during compulsory military service. The procedure is exemplified by the treatment of conscripts who are diagnosed as having cancer testis while doing their compulsory service. It is essential that civilian medical practitioners are familiar with this procedure, so that they can advise any conscripts who consult them.

Postanaesthetic use of naloxone hydrochloride after moderate doses of fentanyl.

A consecutive series of 273 anaesthetics is presented. All patients were given moderate doses of droperidol and fentanyl intravenously to supplement nitrous oxide and oxygen anaesthesia. 28.6% of the patients needed reversal of the analgesic respiratory depressant effect at the end of anaesthesia to establish stable spontaneous respiration. The opiate antagonist, naloxone hydrochloride (Narcan), was found to give rapid and reliable reversal of the respiratory depression. A mean dose of 2 mug/kg body weight of naloxone was found adequate in that no patient required further doses in the post-operative period in order to maintain adequate ventilation. Neither does the dose seem to have been too large. Patients in the naloxone group had no need for additional analgesics during the first 5 3/4 hours postoperatively, as compared to the painfree interval of 3 1/4 hours in the control group.
