[Ventricular tonometry during laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Changes in gastric mucosal-pH (pHi) are correlated with the oxygenation of the gastric mucosa. We have measured the gastric mucosal-pH (pHi) in 11 healthy patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and calculated the "pH-gap" as the difference between arterial-pH and pHi. The measurements were obtained at 30 minute intervals from the induction of anaesthesia to the end of surgery. The pHi decreased during surgery, but the pH-gap showed only insignificant changes. The results of this study did therefore not indicate gastric mucosal hypoxia during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

[Licorice. A basis for precautions one more time!].

A 38 year-old male was admitted to hospital with somnolence, flaccid paralysis of the extremities, arterial hypertension, oedema, severe hypokalemia and rabdomyolysis. The course was complicated with respiratory and kidney failure. It became apparent that the symptoms were caused by the ingestion of 200 g of licorice daily for ten weeks together with a thiazide diuretic for two weeks.
