Evaluation of three preparations of etomidate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three formulations of etomidate were evaluated in unpremedicated patients undergoing minor gynaecological procedures. There was a high frequency of pain on injection (up to 50%) and excitatory phenomena (up to 95%) with all formulations. The frequency of excitatory phenomena was significantly greater than that after methohexitone. Recovery was rapid, but emetic sequelae were frequent and significantly more marked than after methohexitone.

Abstract Background: The combination of propofol-fentanyl for sedation during colonoscopy is characterized by the frequent incidence of side effects. Etomidate-fentanyl provides fewer hemodynamic and respiratory complications. The aim of our study was to compare the safety and efficacy of propofol-fentanyl and etomidate-fentanyl for conscious sedation in elective colonoscopy. Methods: This do...

Zinc sulphate and boric acid ophthalmic preparations, containing benzalkonium chloride as preservative, have been investigated against gram-negative and positive bacteria. Viability of bacteria was found after 7 days, although it was completely suppressed after 24 hours of inoculation. Zinc sulphate generally increases the antimicrobial activity of benzalkonium chloride, whereas boric acid ...

متن کاملInhibition of phagocytosis and killing of bacteria by anaesthetic agents in vitro.
Polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNL) are an essential contribution to protection from bacterial infection. We have examined the effects of thiopentone, etomidate, ketamine and flunitrazepam on phagocytosis and killing of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by PMNL in vitro with fluorescence microscopy. All anaesthetic agents significantly inhibited both phagocytosis and bactericidal activ...
