The attitudes of junior anaesthetists to research. A survey.

A survey was undertaken to investigate aspects of research work undertaken by junior anaesthetists. Two hundred and ninety-five junior anaesthetists were surveyed. Forty-seven percent of respondents were involved actively in research activities at the time of the survey, although 57% of senior house officers and registrars and 30% of senior registrars would not attempt to acquire publications except to improve their curriculum vitae. Few had received any formal training in research methods. The significance of these findings is discussed with regard to current training opportunities.

Single breath induction of anaesthesia with isoflurane.

This study has compared a single breath induction technique and a conventional inhalation induction technique using isoflurane in nitrous oxide and oxygen. Each group consisted of 36 unpremedicated patients. Single breath induction was associated with fewer problems on induction, but required more patient co-operation. Ninety-four percent of patients were willing to repeat the single breath induction technique, compared with 74% of patients receiving a conventional inhalation induction.

The management of anaesthesia for patients with cystic fibrosis.

The clinical problems of patients with cystic fibrosis who require anaesthesia are reviewed. The management and the complications of anaesthesia in 77 patients over a 3-year period are presented. The long term effects of anaesthesia are analysed by a study of the lung function tests of these patients. The results suggest that even multiple procedures, as for instance nasal polypectomy, are not harmful. A method for safe peroperative management is presented.

Intraoperative failure of a Fluotec Mark II vapourizer.

A case report describing the failure of a Fluotec Mark II vapourizer to deliver the indicated anaesthetic concentration during surgery is presented. The failure was caused by a broken internal circlip which resulted in most of the fresh gas flow bypassing the vapourizer. The inspired halothane concentration was reduced to 0.1 per cent, irrespective of the vapourizer dial setting. This type of vapourizer failure may be identified by the unusually loose dial on the Mark II vapourizer. The complications resulting from a light level of anaesthesia include awareness, systolic and diastolic hypertension, movement, and their sequelae.
