The role of codeine phosphate premedication in fibre-optic bronchoscopy under insufficient local anaesthesia and midazolam sedation.
Midazolam is widely used as a sedative agent to produce amnesia in patients undergoing fibre-optic bronchoscopy. However, if a patient does not receive sufficient local anaesthesia, continuous severe cough and physical movement may interrupt the procedure and reduce its safety. We therefore examined whether codeine phosphate is a useful premedication for bronchoscopy. The study design was a ran...
متن کاملPulse Oximetry Overestimates Oxygen Saturation in COPD.
BACKGROUND Measurement of oxygen saturation with a handheld pulse oximeter is widely practiced as a surrogate to invasive arterial blood gas analysis. Oxygen saturation is an important parameter in cases of COPD, but there are insufficient data on the role of pulse oximetry in patients with COPD, moreso in diseases across its spectrum, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. We assessed the p...
متن کاملFlexible Fibre-Optic Bronchoscopy in the Intensive- Care Unit
Flexible fibre-optic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage have become important diagnostic tools for the evaluation and often for the treatment of infants and children with serious lung and airway problems causing respiratory insufficiency or failure. These patients are cared for in the paediatric or neonatal intensive-care units, and they usually require endotracheal intubation (or tracheos...
متن کاملHow Should Oxygen Supplementation Be Guided by Pulse Oximetry in Children: Do We Know the Level?
Supplemental oxygen is one of the most commonly prescribed therapies to children in hospital, but one of the least studied therapeutics. This review considers oxygen from a range of perspectives; discovery and early use; estimation of oxygenation in the human body-both clinically and by medical device; the effects of illness on oxygen utilization; the cellular consequences of low oxygen; and fi...
متن کاملThe use of pulse oximetry in clinical veterinary anaesthesia
A commercial human pulse oximeter was used in several species to measure heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation (Sa02), and the results compared with those from an ECG and bench oximeter. The heart rates were always the same, but differences in the Sa02 ranged between 4.2 per cent to 10.3 per cent. Correlation coefficients between the two Sa02 measurement techniques ranged from 0.81 to 0.94,...
