    Air inlets for infusion bottles (1994)

    Notes: We assessed the resistance to air flow in four comonly used air inlets. The Avon A81 ‘ and Codan air inlets provide the least resistance to flow, followed by the Baxter CO413 and lastly the Braun air inlet. The presence of a valve confers and advantage when rapid infusion of fluid is attempted . the valve in the inlet performed best out of the inlets tested.

    Notes: Three groups of 10 ASA 1 patients were studied to determine the incidence of hypoxaemia (oxygen saturation ≤ 90%) using pulse oximetry during induction of ‘mask’ anaesthesia, and whether simple oxygenation techniques could prevent its occurrence. We also surveyed all anaesthetists in three major hospitals to ascertain their techniques for this method of anaesthesia. Anaesthesia was induced in all patients with thiopentone and maintained with nitrous oxide and isoflurane. The first group received 33% oxygen in nitrous oxide as carrier gases, a second group a few normal breaths of 100% oxygen during thiopentone administration followed by 33% oxygen in nitrous oxide, while a third group received 100% oxygen after loss of eyelash reflex until spontaneous breathing was established. No patient received positive pressure ventilation before spontaneous breathing was established. Six of the 10 patients in the first group became hypoxaemic compared to none in the second group, and three patients became hypoxaemic in the third group. Thirty-seven percent of anaesthetists who responded to the survey either did not apply positive pressure ventilation before establishment of spontaneous breathing, or only did so if apnoea was prolonged. Only one anaesthetist fully pre-oxygenated patients lungs. We conclude that to avoid the likely occurrence of hypoxaemia during induction of mask anaesthesia, a minimum of a few breaths pre-oxygenation is necessary.

    Effect of smoking on induction of anaesthesia with sevoflurane (2001)

    Notes: Inhalational induction with sevoflurane has been shown to be a viable alternative to intravenous induction; however, studies have focused mainly on healthy patients or volunteers. Airway complications in patients with potential airway irritability have not been studied. Sixty smokers undergoing general anaesthesia were randomly assigned to one of three groups: group 1, vital capacity breathing with 8% sevoflurane; group 2, tidal breathing with 8% sevoflurane; and group 3, tidal breathing with step-up of sevoflurane (sevoflurane concentration increased by increments of 2% every 10 s until 8%). Step-up induction was significantly slower to induce loss of consciousness than a vital capacity breath or tidal breathing at 8% (p 〈 0.05). Step-up induction produced more complications than tidal breathing at 8% (p = 0.05). All patients had acceptable induction of anaesthesia with no patient having an oxygen saturation below 96% at any time. Blood pressure and heart rate decreased gradually over time in all groups (p 〈 0.001), but there were no significant differences between groups. Patient satisfaction with the techniques was high with 59 of 60 patients willing to have the same technique again. Inhalational induction with sevoflurane can be used safely as an induction technique in smokers. In common with other patient groups, use of a high initial concentration reduces induction time without causing additional airway or cardiovascular complications.
