    Notes: To determine the quality of anaesthesia and speed of recovery after propofol anaesthesia for myringotomy in children, 100 children 2–12 years were randomized to one of four anaesthetic regimens for induction/maintenance: thiopentone (STP) (5 mg·kg−1)/halothane, propofol (3 mg·kg−1)/halothane, halothane/halothane or propofol (3 mg·kg−1)/propofol bolus (0.5 mg·kg−1 every 3 min (10 mg·kg−1·h−1)). Nitrous oxide (70%) in oxygen (30%) was used to facilitate insertion of an intravenous catheter and was continued throughout the anaesthetic. We found that the incidence of intraoperative movement in response to surgical stimulation was significantly greater in the prop/prop group 32%, compared with the three other groups (P〈0.02). Although some recovery variables (time to response to questions, sit unaided, tolerate oral fluids, and discharge with fluids) were achieved more rapidly by the prop/prop group than the other three groups, the times to open eyes, obey commands and, most importantly, discharge from recovery without fluids did not differ between the prop/prop and the hal/hal groups. We conclude that there is little benefit in using propofol as an induction agent alone or in combination with a propofol maintenance anaesthetic for paediatric myringotomy and tube surgery.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: To assess the appropriateness of utilization patterns for the barium enema and colonoscopy in a Medicaid population. Methods: From 1987 to 1991, a Medicaid managed-care database in Philadelphia revealed claims for a total of 2357 outpatient barium enemas and 896 outpatient colonoscopic examinations. The database was reviewed to determine the primary diagnostic (ICD-9-CM) codes assigned to patients who underwent these procedures. These codes were used as a proxy for indications. Each of the diagnostic codes for barium enema and colonoscopy was then classified either as appropriate, inappropriate, equivocal, or miscoded based on current guidelines in the medical literature. Results: A total of 1962 claims (83%) for barium enema were classified as appropriate, 126 (5%) as inappropriate, 84 (4%) as equivocal, and 185 (8%) as miscoded, whereas 645 claims (72%) for colonoscopy were classified as appropriate, 176 (20%) as inappropriate, 65 (7%) as equivocal, and 10 (1%) as miscoded. Thus, significantly more colonoscopic examinations were rated as inappropriate (p 〈 0.001). Conclusion: Our study suggests that more stringent criteria need to be used by physicians in ordering diagnostic examinations of the colon, particularly colonoscopy. Further investigation of the appropriateness of these procedures and the development and dissemination of guidelines seems warranted.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: Some patients with reflux esophagitis have solitary ulcers in the distal esophagus. This study was undertaken to characterize further the radiographic features of these ulcers and to determine whether or not they have a predisposition to develop on the posterior esophageal wall. Methods: Radiologic files and teaching files at our university hospital and affiliated Veterans Administration hospital revealed 29 patients with solitary reflux-induced ulcers. The radiographs were reviewed retrospectively to determine the size and location of the ulcers as well as the presence or absence of other findings. Results: Twenty ulcers (69%) were located on the posterior wall, five (17%) on the left or right lateral wall, and four (14%) on the anterior wall. All but two ulcers were located 1–4 cm from the gastroesophageal junction. All of the ulcers were less than 10 mm in width and 5 mm in depth. Other associated findings included hiatal hernias in 11 patients (38%), mucosal nodularity or granularity in 12 (41%), one or more tiny satellite ulcers in three (10%), esophageal intramural pseudodiverticula in three (10%), an inflammatory esophagogastric polyp in one (3%), and scarring or stricture formation in 12 (41%). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that solitary reflux-induced ulcers tend to occur on the posterior wall of the distal esophagus near the gastroesophageal junction, producing characteristic radiographic findings. We postulate that affected individuals sleep primarily in the supine position, so that refluxed acid pools on the dependent or posterior esophageal wall, causing maximal injury in this location.
