Thiopentone anaesthesia at Pearl Harbor

The Secrecy of Pearl Harbor

Thiopentone-lidocaine anaesthesia for pneumoencephalography.

GENERAL ANAESTHESIA fOr pneumoencephalography presents the anaesthetist with a technical problem that has not been solved satisfactorily. The anaesthetic administered should be tailored to meet the demands of patient safety, comfort, possibly increased intracranial pressure and unusual positioning that is necessary during the study. It should also provide a quiet patient for the radiologist to ...

Thiopentone supplemented anaesthesia for neurosurgery.

A technique of anaesthesia for intracranial surgery involving the use of a thiopentone drip as a supplement to nitrous oxide and oxygen was used in 166 patients who were curarized and artificially ventilated. Maintenance of immobility and unconsciousness during the operation was satisfactory. The degree of recovery at the end of operation was acceptable in that nearly 90 per cent were awake and...

Closing the Book on Pearl Harbor

Recent attempts to resuscitate well-worn conspiracy theories concerning the Pearl Harbor attack are based on selective reading of documentary evidence and ignore conclusive, recently declassified materials which show that JN-25 and other Japanese naval codes were not being read by U. S. Navy codebreakers prior to the Japanese attack.

Ventilatory effects of oxygen in the dog under thiopentone anaesthesia.

The ventilatory effects of prolonged oxygen administration were examined in seven dogs during thiopentone anaesthesia. Ventilation, tidal volume (VT), ventilatory rate (f), minute ventilation (VE), inspiratory time (TI), expiratory time (TE), period (Ttot), TI/Ttot and mean inspiratory flow (VT/TI) were measured during the inhalation of room air, after 30 min of oxygen inhalation, and finally a...
