    Eisenmenger's syndrome in pregnancy: maternal and fetal mortality in the 1990s (1998)

    Notes: To determine maternal and fetal mortality associated with Eisenmenger's syndrome in the UK, a postal questionnaire was sent to 225 NHS obstetric units with neonatal intensive care units, requesting information about maternal and fetal outcome in cases of Eisenmenger's Syndrome between 1991 and 1995. Fifteen cases were identified. The maternal mortality was 40% and fetal loss 8%. Only 15% of infants were born at term. Maternal mortality associated with Eisenmenger's syndrome remains as high as it has been for the past 50 years. Pooling of national data on rare medical conditions in pregnancy is required to aid management of individual cases.

    Development and evaluation of combined rectus sheath and ilioinguinal blocks for abdominal gynaecological surgery (1999)
    Oxford : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 54 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2044

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: We describe the development of a technique of combined rectus sheath and ilioinguinal blocks for patients undergoing abdominal gynaecological surgery, and its use in a series of 37 patients (21 midline and 16 transverse incisions). Up to 60 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% with adrenaline 1:400 000 was used, depending on the patient's weight. Median (interquartile range) total morphine requirement (including 0.15 mg.kg−1 given intra-operatively) up to 48 h after surgery was 0.34 (0.2–0.38) mg.kg−1 for midline incisions and 0.47 (0.35–0.64) mg.kg−1 for transverse incisions; no other systemic opioids were given. Six-hourly pain scores within the first 48 h after surgery were ≤1 (mild pain) in 11 out of 21 (52%) and ≤2 (moderate pain) in 18 out of 21 (86%) patients with midline incisions and in 5 out of 16 (31%) and 13 out of 16 (81%) patients with transverse incisions, respectively. No patient had emetic symptoms worse than mild nausea during the 48-h postoperative study period.

    Extending low-dose epidural analgesia for emergency Caesarean sectionA comparison of three solutions (1999)
    Oxford : Blackwell Science Ltd

    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: We conducted a prospective double-blind randomised trial to compare bupivacaine 0.5%; a 50 : 50 mixture of bupivacaine 0.5%/lignocaine 2% with 1 : 200 000 adrenaline (final concentration); and lignocaine 2% with 1 : 200 000 adrenaline for converting a low-dose labour epidural into a block adequate for emergency Caesarean section. Ninety patients were studied, 30 in each group. There was no difference between the groups in the time taken for bilateral loss of cold sensation to reach T4. Onset time was unaffected by the existing sensory level pre-Caesarean section top-up; the number of low-dose top-ups in labour; the total dose of bupivacaine in labour; or maternal weight or height. Three patients in the lignocaine with adrenaline group had blocks that reached the cervical dermatomes and three in the same group required general anaesthesia for inadequate anaesthesia, compared with none in the other groups (both p = 0.04).

    Evaluation of an improved scoring system for the grading of direct laryngoscopy (1998)
    Oxford : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 53 (1998), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2044
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: A modified version of the Cormack and Lehane scoring system was prospectively evaluated in 663 patients requiring tracheal intubation. In the modified system, grade 2 (only part of the glottis visible) was divided into 2a (part of the cords visible) and 2b (only the arytenoids or the very posterior origin of the cords visible). One hundred and sixty-two intubations (24.4%) were scored as grade 2a and 43 (6.5%) as grade 2b, of which seven (4.3%) and 29 (67.4%), respectively, were difficult, defined as requiring more than one laryngoscopy or the use of specialist equipment. Grade 2b denotes a laryngoscopic view that is relatively common and is often associated with difficulty passing a tracheal tube. The modified scoring system thus provides more information than the original Cormack and Lehane system and its use should be considered when recording the ease of tracheal intubation in the anaesthetic record or in studies of tracheal intubation.

    Surgical face masks and downward dispersal of bacteria (1998)
    Oxford : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 53 (1998), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1365-2044
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: The ability of face masks to prevent forward dispersal of bacteria is offset by the possibility that they may increase vertical shedding of bacteria from the face during facial movement. To investigate this, a blood agar plate was placed 30 cm directly below the lips of 20 volunteers who were encouraged to talk for 20 min while moving their heads from side to side, without a face mask for the first 5 min and then with a standard, soft pleated face mask for the subsequent 15 min. The agar plates were changed at 5-min intervals. Analysis of the number of bacterial colonies grown on each agar plate showed a statistically significant reduction in the median number of colonies cultured per plate when the mask was worn. Our results suggest that for procedures lasting less than 15 min, the operator should wear a face mask, particularly when the face is in close proximity to the operative field and the need for speaking is anticipated.

    Notes: A postal survey of 801 members of the Obstetric Anaesthetists Association was carried out in the United Kingdom and Ireland to investigate the use of surgical facemasks whilst performing spinal and epidural blocks. Two hundred and twenty three out of 539 respondents (41.3%) routinely wore masks for both spinals and epidurals; 22 (4.1%) wore masks only for epidurals; 21 (3.9%) wore masks only for spinals and 273 (50.6%) did not wear masks for either spinals or epidurals. Fifty out of 240 (21%) of those who routinely wore masks did not believe that wearing a mask reduced the risk of infection. Only 83 out of 259 (32%) mask wearers changed their masks between cases.

    Notes: The Internet is a network of computers that allows rapid transfer of information throughout the world. The number of medical, and particularly anaesthetic, resources is rapidly increasing. This article briefly describes the Internet and its features which may be of interest to anaesthetists and intensivists in the United Kingdom, together with some of the tools for working with them.

    Latex allergy: a strategy for management (1998)

    Notes: Latex is a ubiquitous part of life today. It is a constituent of many household products and medical devices, although not always obvious on examination. The increase in incidence of potentially life-threatening allergic reactions to latex has been a cause for mounting concern over recent years. Although there have been recent reviews of the general problem of latex allergy, there is little advice available to anaesthetists on how to develop an effective strategy to implement within their own hospitals. The aim of this article is to improve awareness of latex allergy and by describing the development of our strategy to identify and safely manage those at risk in the peri-operative period, facilitate the process for other departments.

    Caesarean section in a parturient with respiratory failure caused by cystic fibrosis (1997)

    Notes: We describe a 27-year-old primigravida suffering from cystic fibrosis. Her chest was colonised with Burkholderia cepacia and she was in respiratory failure for which she required constant nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation. In view of her rapid deterioration, Caesarean section was performed under epidural anaesthesia at 25 weeks gestation. A live 790-g boy was delivered. Post-operatively she made steady progress for 5 days although still requiring nasal ventilatory support. Thereafter she developed pneumonia and required tracheal intubation and ventilation on the eighth day. Her increasing hypoxaemia and pulmonary hypertension failed to respond to any therapy including inhaled nitric oxide and she died on the tenth postoperative day.
