Abstract

During laparoscopy and intraabdominal insufflation of CO2 cardio-respiratory accidents following increased PaCO2 are possible. The continuous measurement of endexpiratory CO2-concentration by infrared absorption spectrometry is a simple method for controlling the level of ventilation. Respiratory acidosis under controlled artificial ventilation during laparoscopy can thus be avoided.

Myths, morbidity, and mortality in asthma.

Persistence of outmoded concepts or "myths" concerning the diagnosis and treatment of asthma probably is responsible for large economic losses, overutilization of hospital beds, and many preventable deaths. There have been many worthwhile studies refuting these myths, leading to the following conclusions: Asthma consists of much more than wheezing and in many cases must be treated long after wheezing stops. There is no convincing evidence relating the chronic pulmonary changes of asthma to the psyche. Modern methods of prescribing theophylline have not made it universally effective and safe. Intermittent postive-pressure breathing is rarely justified in asthma. Respiratory acidosis may be corrected only by improving alveolar ventilation. Corticosteroids are usually essential for control of severe asthma and may be used safely. Severe asthmatics need careful monitoring because sudden respiratory failure may occur.
