[Anesthesia using propofol during surgery of strabismus in children. A comparison of two different protocols of induction and maintenance].

The purpose of this study is an investigation of two protocols using propofol as induction and maintenance agent in 100 children scheduled for strabismus surgery (4-8 year, ASA I, NYHA I). Protocol I; Propofol 6 mg.kg-1 in 60 s with fentanyl 2 micrograms.kg-1 and vecuronium bromide 0.08 mg.kg-1 for induction, followed by propofol 11 mg.kg-1 for maintenance; Protocol II; Propofol 3 mg.kg-1 in 20 s with fentanyl 3 micrograms.kg-1 for induction, followed by propofol 12 mg.kg-1.h-1 for maintenance. It appears that the use of protocol I offers significant advantages compared with protocol II: a better quality of induction with a lesser incidence of pain during injection of propofol; a better quality of maintenance with very infrequent bradycardia from oculocardiac reflectivity; and a better recovery with a greatly reduced frequency of nausea and vomiting.

Mean alpha-fetoprotein values of 1,333 males over 15 years by age groups.

Sera of 1,333 African, Caucasian, Chinese and Malay males over 15 years from four countries were randomly assayed for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) by the radioimmunoassay. The average AFP level was 2.97 IU/ml (+ 2 SD = 8.78, -2 SD = 1.00) which can be compared with previously published figures ranging from 2.3 to 1.2 ng/ml. Average values increased with age and the upper limit (mean + 2 SD) in the over 64 years age group was close to 17 IU/ml. The use of international units should facilitate the comparison of results between laboratories. The present data can help in determining whether an AFP value is "normal" and when AFP levels of certain follow-up patients revert to normal.
