To evaluate the accuracy of a new non-invasive method (Vasotrac) to measure blood pressure (BP) with accompanying arterial wave-form and pulse-rate display when compared with BP and waveform measured invasively. ⋯ The Vasotrac system displayed an arterial waveform which was similar to that obtained directly and measured BP and pulse rate accurately. It should be a convenient device to measure BP continually in a non-invasive fashion.

Case Reports
Thyroplasty under general anesthesia using a laryngeal mask airway and fibreoptic bronchoscope.
To report the management of a patient, with unilateral vocal cord paralysis, undergoing thyroplasty, under general anesthesia. ⋯ We describe the successful use of a general anesthetic for a thyroplasty, a procedure normally done under local anesthesia with or without sedation, in a patient who was keen to have surgery, but who refused local anesthesia with sedation.
