A Comparison of Pentazocine and Morphine for Pediatric Premedication

Lucida Rita; Frank L. Seleny; Richard M. Levin

2. The patients appeared to be well sedated, could be readily aroused, and responded normally. Pentazocine is the N-dimethylallyl analogue of phenazocine, a member of the benzomorphan group. I t is reported to have potent analgesic propertiesly2 and low abuse potentia1,s without the psychologic side effects characteristic of narcotic antagonists.4 Unfortunately the respiratory depression caused by the drug equals that seen with equieffective doses of morphine.5

Intraoperative Autonomic Dysfunction Associated with Arnold-Chiari Malformation

Badr A. Ishak; David G. McLone; Frank L. Seleny

This is a report of 2 infants with Arnold-Chiari malformation who showed various degrees of cardiovascular instability prior to and during surgical decompression of the posterior fossa which was abruptly terminated with successful decompression.

Ketamine-pancuronium-narcotic technic for cardiovascular surgery in infants--a comparative study.

Richard M. Levin; Frank L. Seleny; Michael V. Streczyn

Ketamine, pancuronium, and alphaprodine were used as the primary anesthetic agents in 71 infants requiring cardiovascular operations during a recent 1-year period. This group of patients was compared with a similar group anesthetized 3 years before with d-tubocurarine, halothane, and/or N2O-O2.Stability of the circulatory system was well maintained with ketamine-pancuronium-narcotic (KPN) during the induction period. How ever, once surgical dissection of the heart and great vessels began, hypotension/bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and 48-hour mortality were similar for the two groups. Therefore, using these criteria for analysis, the KPN technic, in spite of claims for its minimal adverse effect on the cardiovascular system, did not prove superior to the halothane-N2O-O2-curare technic.

Anaesthetic anagement of Miller’s syndrome

G. W. Stevenson; Steven C. Hall; Bruce S. Bauer; Frank A. Vicari; Frank L. Seleny

Miller’s syndrome is a rare congenital disorder with facial features similar to that of Treacher-Collins syndrome. This report details the anaesthetic management of an infant during multiple surgical procedures, beginning with pylormyotomy at one month of age. Airway management was difficult because of severe micrognathia and was accomplished using an awake intubation with a conventional straight blade modified for continuous administration of oxygen (“oxyscope”). Due to recurrent upper airway obstuction and the anticipated need for multiple surgical procedures in the first years of life, a tracheostomy was placed. Because of the multiple airway, orthopaedic, and nutritional difficulties, it is important that a prospective, multidisciplinary approach be used in these patients’ care. Consideration should be given to early tracheostomy for airway maintenance.RésuméLe syndrome de Miller est une maladie congénitale rare avec des caractéristiques faciales similaires au syndrome de Treacher-Collins. Ce rapport étudie la conduite anesthésique chez un enfant lors de procédures chirurgicales multiples, commençant par une pyloromyotomie à l’àge d’un mois. Le contrôle des voies aériennes fut difficile à cause d’une micrognatie et fut accompli par une intubation réveillée avec une lame droite conventionnelle modifiée pour l’administration continue d’oxygène (« oxyscope »). A cause de problèmes d’obstruction des voies aériennes hautes récurrentes et l’anticipation d’une nécessité de procédures chirurgicales multiples dans les premières années de la vie, une trachéotomie fut faite. A cause de problèmes multiples des voies aériennes, orthopédique et nutritionnelles, it est important d’instaurer une approche multidisciplinaire pour le soin de ces patients. Des considérations doivent être faites pour une trachéotomie précoce pour le maintien des voies aériennes.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TRANSPULMONARY PRESSURE CHANGES IN CHILDREN ANAESTHETIZED FOR CARDIAC SURGERY - ANALYIS OF RESPIRATORY MECHANICS ~

Richard M. Levin; Frank L. Seleny; C. W. Joshi; Michael V. Streczyn

SummaryTo find a practical objective parameter indicating the need for ventilatory assistance in paediatric patients after cardiac surgery measurements were made of transpulmonary pressure, pulmonary compliance and inspiratory pulmonary resistance in 121 anaesthetized infants and children while they were being ventilated by a volume controlled respirator. Transpulmonary pressure, defined as that transpulmonary pressure required to produce a PaCO2 from 30 to 35 torr, varied inversely with pulmonary compliance and directly with inspiratory pulmonary resistance, reflecting changes in the forces resisting expansion of the lungs. Transpulmonary pressure greater than 20 cm water intraoperatively was present only in patients requiring ventilatory assistance after surgery. Transpulmonary pressure therefore was found to be an objective parameter of pulmonary function which can be measured intraoperatively and could be used to help forecast impending respiratory failure in the postoperative period.RésuméLe but de cette étude était de trouver un paramètre objectif qui indiquerait le besom ďune assistance ventilatoire chez les enfants après la chirurgie cardiaque. Nous avons fait des évaluations de la pression transpulmonaire, de la compliance pulmonaire et de la résistance pulmonaire inspiratoire chez 121 enfants ventilés pour un respirateur à volume contrôlé. Ľâge des enfants allait de une semaine à 15 ans. Les porteurs de maladie cardiaque congénitale présentaient une variété de pathologies cardiaques requérant des traitements soit à cœur ouvert, soit à cœur fermé. La conduite de ľanesthésie a consisté à donner du protoxyde ďazote et de ľoxygenè 50:50 et du fluothane à 1.5 pour cent et de la ventilation artificielle.Chez les porteurs ďhypertension pulmonaire, la compliance était diminuée et la résistance inspiratoire augmentée. La pression transpulmonaire nécessaire pour conserver une PaCO2 de 30 à 35 mm Hg a varié de façon inversement proportion nelle à la résistance inspiratoire, ce qui donne une idée du changement des forces pour ľexpansion des poumons.Aussi, la pression transpulmonaire per-opératoire s’est avérée inférieure à 20 cm ďeau chez tous les malades capables de se ventiler spontanément, adéquatement au cours des suites opératoires. La pression a dépassé 20 cm ďeau seulement chez les malades requérant une assistance ventilatoire après la chirurgie. Etant donné que les mesures de la pression transpulmonaire inspiratoire peuvent se faire en cours ďopération, ce paramètre peut devenir un outil indicateur utile pour prédire les besoins ďassistance ventilatoire post-opératoire.
