Toxicity of inhalation anaesthetic agents.
Although hundreds of compounds on the chemist's shelf are known to produce anaesthesia, relatively few are used clinically. The requirements for a clinically useful anaesthetic agent are necessarily stringent and include: a wide margin of safety, total reversibility of anaesthetic effect and an absence of long-term toxicity. In addition, a successful inhalation anaesthetic agent must combine th...
متن کاملAnaesthetic potency of inhalation agents is independent of membrane microviscosity.
The decrease in membrane microviscosity of erythrocyte ghosts in the presence of clinically relevant concentrations of seven inhalation anaesthetic agents was studied using fluorescence polarization anisotropy of the membrane incorporated fluorescent probes 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 1-[4-trimethylammoniumphenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. All anaesthetic agents produced a dose-dependent...
متن کاملPulmonary toxicity of antineoplastic agents: anaesthetic and postoperative implications.
Agents commonly used in the treatment of neoplastic diseases may impair pulmonary function, and a wide spectrum of agents are currently implicated as toxic to the pulmonary system. Agents most commonly implicated are bleomycin, carmustine, busulfan, methotrexate, and thoracic radiotherapy. Less commonly implicated agents include mitomycin, procarbazine, melphalan, chlorambucil, and cyclophospha...
متن کاملMethanol inhalation toxicity.
Significant toxicity can result from intentional methanol inhalation. We report seven cases, involving four patients, of intentional inhalation of CARB-MEDIC carburetor cleaner containing toluene (43.8%), methanol (23.2%), methylene chloride (20.5%), and propane (12.5%). Patients arrived at the emergency department with central nervous system depression, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, p...
متن کاملAdverse reactions to anaesthetic agents.
Sir,—Even though some small changes in heart rate were shown to be statistically significant, no clinical significance was attached to such changes. The study was primarily done to assess the overall need of anticholinergic premedication in patients undergoing minor surgery and as such drugs were not administered on a weight basis. However, Dr Gilmour's comment has aroused our interest in this ...
