Anaesthesia and the respiratory system.
Pulmonary gas exchange is disturbed during general anaesthesia; both oxygenation and elimination of carbon dioxide are impaired. The shape of the chest wall alters after induction of anaesthesia-paralysis in recumbent subjects, and its motion during inspiration is also altered. The mechanical properties of lung and chest wall are also affected and FRC may be reduced. Inspired gas distribution c...
متن کاملA Wireless Electronic Esophageal Stethoscope for Continuous Monitoring of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems during Anaesthesia
Background: The basic requirements for monitoring anesthetized patients during surgery are assessing cardiac and respiratory function. Esophageal stethoscopes have been developed for this purpose, but these devices may not provide clear heart and lung sound due to existence of various noises in operating rooms. In addition, the stethoscope is not applicable for continues monitoring, and it is u...
متن کاملRespiratory mechanics in anaesthesia.
The present knowledge of respiratory mechanics in anaesthetized humans is astonishingly scanty. This probably reflects the notion that measurement of the mechanics of ventilation during anaesthesia is difficult to perform. In fact, in mechanically ventilated anaesthetized-paralysed humans, a detailed analysis of respiratory mechanics can be performed readily with simple and commonly available e...
متن کاملAnaesthesia in Upper Respiratory Obstruction.
The causes of upper respiratory obstruction are reviewed. The symptoms and signs are graded according to severity. It is stressed that cyanosis indicates very severe obstruction, and that stridor at rest is a very informative local sign of severe obstruction. In severe obstruction respiratory depressant drugs and atropine are contraindicated while helium may be helpful. When general anaesthesia...
متن کاملRespiratory and Haemodynamic Effects of Methoxyflurane Anaesthesia.
AFTEX~ TrraEE YEARS of ever increasing clinical use, methoxyflurane remains an effective and relatively safe anaesthetic agent worthy of great interest in practice. Its unquestionable qualities as a stable, pote~lt hypnotic and lanalgesic, capable of inducing a muscular relaxation comparable with tl~at of deep ether, nonetheless devoid of explosive and toxic hazards, ha,~e contributed to this w...
