Do anxiety or hypocapnia predispose to apnoea after induction of anaesthesia?
We have studied the incidence of apnoea after induction of anaesthesia in patients allocated randomly to receive a standardized dose of either propofol or etomidate. We measured anxiety before operation with a standard questionnaire and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration from a mask during breathing 35% oxygen, before induction of anaesthesia. Respiration was measured by pneumotachograph an...
متن کاملAnaesthesia and sleep apnoea.
Sleep disordered breathing is a common problem affecting all age groups, particularly in association with certain other medical conditions and syndromes. The pathological consequences of the disorder may be severe, with significant implications for the perioperative management of sufferers.

متن کاملCentral apnoea after balanced general anaesthesia that included dexmedetomidine.
Dexmedetomidine is an alpha(2)-adrenoreceptor agonist that, in spite of its potent sedative, amnesic, and analgesic properties, has minimal respiratory depressant effect. Even at doses adequate for general anaesthesia, it does not cause central apnoea. Thus, it has been claimed that "combining alpha(2)-agonists with opiate narcotics or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can enhance the analg...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnoea and anaesthesia
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) correlates positively with obesity and age, both of which are becoming increasingly prevalent. Obstructive sleep apnoea occurs much more frequently in clinical practice than formerly diagnosed, and that this condition represents complex challenges for difficulty in mask ventilation, laryngoscopic intubation, accelerated arterial desaturation, postoperative monitor...
متن کاملPerformance of electrophysiologic study in an asymptomatic patient with type 2 intermittent Brugada syndrome: To do or not to do?
Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy, which is associated with sudden cardiac death due to rapid polymorphic VT or VF. There is no definite consensus regarding the management of asymptomatic patients. Some experts advocate close follow-up; others propose the programmed stimulation for risk stratification. We aimed to evaluate the benefit of complete atrial and ventri...
