    Notes: Oxyhaemoglobin saturation was monitored continuously during electroconvulsive therapy in two groups of patients. All patients were anaesthetised using methohexitone (40-100 mg) and suxamethonium (25–50 mg). In group I (n = 48), the patients' lungs were ventilated manually with oxygen in air (40–50%) during the modified convulsion. In group 2 (n = 47), the convulsion was allowed to subside before recommencing manual ventilation with a similar gas mixture. Eight patients in group I and seven patients in group 2 received more than one shock and were excluded, leaving 40 patients in each group. In group 1, one patient had a minimum oxygen saturation of less than 90% after the electric shock as opposed to I1 in group 2 (p 〈 0.01). Five of the patients in group 2 had a saturation of less than 80%. It is concluded that patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy should be ventilated with an oxygen-enriched gas mixture during the convulsion induced by the electric shock in order to avoid hypoxaemia.

    Notes: We report a case of alcuronium induced postoperative apnoea due to latent myasthenia gravis in a patient with no other clinical manfestations of the disease at presentation. Acetylcholine receptor antibody estimation was used to confirm the diagnosis.

    Odour identification as a marker for postoperative cognitive dysfunction: A pilot study (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 59 (2004), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2044

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: The onset of postoperative cognitive dysfunction is delayed in some elderly surgical patients and the condition may persist. Increasing age is a risk factor for both postoperative cognitive dysfunction and dementia. Major surgery may unmask an underlying dementia; we report findings of a pilot study designed to inform this hypothesis. Impaired odour identification ability is a characteristic of the preclinical phase of some neuro-degenerative diseases. This pilot study was designed to establish whether odour identification deficit is a marker for postoperative cognitive dysfunction, particularly in elderly patients genetically predisposed to develop late-onset Alzheimer's disease. We found no association between odour identification ability and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in 53 patients aged 62–86, undergoing major non-cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia. Our pilot study showed that a high number of patients genetically predisposed to develop Alzheimer's disease is required to test the utility of odour identification as a marker for postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

    Movement of the critically ill within hospital (1978)

    Notes: Abtract Critically ill patients can be safely moved within hospital using a mobile intensive care unit (MICU). The MICU allows the critically ill to benefit from specialised investigation and treatment they might otherwise be denied. The MICU in use at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow is described and its merits outlined in the light of clinical experience gained over a twelve month period.

    The use of inotropic drugs in myocardial contusion 2 case reports (1980)
    Springer
    Intensive care medicine 6 (1980), S. 19-23

    Notes: Abstract Myocardial contusion is a common complication of blunt chest injury. Severe heart failure and shock may result. The haemodynamic consequences of myocardial contusion in two patients are described; both received inotropic agents. In the first patient dobutamine was successful in improving myocardial function; dopamine had similar effects on the heart. In the second patient dopamine, preferred for its renal effects, produced a short-term improvement in myocardial function. The rational use of pharmacological agents in this condition demands precise understanding of the underlying haemodynamic disturbances.

    Myocardial contusion in blunt chest trauma: A ten-year review (1981)
    Springer
    Intensive care medicine 7 (1981), S. 265-268 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1238
    Keywords: Thoracic injury ; Heart injury
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract A retrospective review was undertaken of 169 patients admitted to an Intensive Therapy Unit with a major chest injury to determine the incidence, clinical features and outcome of patients with myocardial contusion. This injury occurred in 29 (17%) patients, of whom 24 (83%) had significant cardiovascular complications and five died as a direct result of the injury. The interval between injury and diagnosis was 3.2±2.3 days (mean±SD) from injury and in six patients the diagnosis was made only at necropsy. Increased awarenness of myocardial contusion is required for earlier diagnosis and prevention of complications.
