Abstract

With proper measurement of inhaled and exhaled gas concentrations as well as end-tidal concentrations, patient concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and the volatile anesthetic agents may be inferred; additional information for vigilance monitoring, control of depth of anesthesia, and calculation of physiologic variables can be obtained. From this information, the anesthesiologist will be able to administer improved patient care through more immediate and complete knowledge and control of both equipment and patient function.

Simultaneous separation and enantioresolution of racemic local anesthetic drugs by capillary zone electrophoresis with Tween 20 and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin as selectors, employing a double plug technique.

A new approach for simultaneous chiral and achiral separations by capillary zone electrophoresis is described. Two adjacent selector plugs, consisting of Tween 20 as an achiral and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CD) as a chiral selector, are employed and four related local anesthetics are used as model compounds. The principles of the partial filling technique, whereby the capillary is filled with the chiral selector solution followed by the micellar solution at different plug lengths and concentrations, prior to application of the solutes, was employed. During the run both capillary ends were dipped in a simple buffer, i.e., one without additives. The two separation media worked independently without any interaction. Separation of the solutes and their enantiomers was regulated by adjusting both the concentration and plug length (PL) of the micellar solution in the capillary, employing methyl beta-CD as chiral selector either at 38 or 76 mM. The solutes were separated on the basis of their affinity towards the micellar phase before they reached the methyl-beta-CD plug for enantioseparation. In the absence of the micellar plug, the enantiomers of prilocaine overlapped those of bupivacaine. The solutes and their enantiomers were completely separated by employing two adjacent plugs consisting of 100 mM Tween 20 solution (PL approximately 10 cm) and methyl-beta-CD solution at either 38 or 76 mM (PL approximately 30 cm).

Anesthesia and the electrophysiology of auditory consciousness.

Empirical work is reviewed which correlates the presence or absence of various parts of the auditory evoked potential with the disappearance and reemergence of auditory sensation during induction of and recovery from anesthesia. As a result, the hypothesis is generated that the electrophysiological correlate of auditory sensation is whatever neural activity generates the middle latency waves of the auditory evoked potential. This activity occurs from 20 to 80 ms poststimulus in the primary and secondary areas of the auditory cortex. Evidence is presented suggesting that earlier or later waves in the auditory evoked potential do not covary with auditory sensation (as opposed to auditory perception) and it is therefore suggested that they are possibly not the electrophysiological correlates of sensation.
