Superior thyroid artery cannulation for monitoring carotid artery operation.

Superior thyroid artery cannulation during carotid endarterectomy and coupling the cannula to a three-way stopcock with an anaeroid manometer allows the surgical team in the operating field to monitor mean pressures and to draw blood samples for gas analysis from the common, the internal, or the external carotid artery. The technique has been applied in 118 patients without related complications.

Gangrene of the hand: a complication of radial artery cannulation.

Radial artery cannulation for constant monitoring of arterial pressure and blood gases has become commonplace in the care of the seriously ill. The radial artery is readily accessible and is often regarded as carrying a negligible complication risk, because there is extensive collateral arterial flow in the hand. To the rarely reported cases of gangrene of the hand secondary to cannulation of the radial artery, this publication adds two, both survivors. One, a 46-year-old female with a clinical picture suggestive of mild Raynaud's disease, was treated by closed mitral commissurotomy; the second, a 44-year-old female, was treated for drug overdose complicated by cardiac arrest and renal shutdown.

Cephalometric roentgenography for nonhuman primates utilizing a surgically implanted head positioner.

Cephalometric roentgenography in nonhuman primates requires more precise head positioning than that afforded by commonly used ear rod techniques. A standard cephalometric headholder was therefore modified and a technique was developed to implant an attachment that permit precise positioning of the head in all three planes of spce. This method has been used in 36 animals, and at 35 months postsurgery the implants have remained stable and tissue compatiblity is generally excellent. Roentgenograms obtained with this technique offer a high degree of accuracy in documenting growth changes and response to orthodontic treatment.
