[Axillary block of the brachial plexus and flunitrazepam premedication in surgery of the upper limb (study of 1,500 cases)].
The authors report their experience of regional block using anaesthesia of the brachial plexus by the axillary approach. 1 500 axillary blocks have been done since 1976. They perfect their technology and report their results. Because of the innocuity of regional block and its simplicity, they use it in seventy per cent of superior limb acute or regular surgery.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Comparison of diazepam and flunitrazepam as adjuncts to general anaesthesia in preventing arousal following surgical stimuli.
A comparison has been made between the effects of the administration of flunitrazepam 1 mg i.v. and diazepam 10 mg i.v. in 90 female patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The drugs were given immediately before the skin incision as a booster to the induction agent thiopentone. The response to the incision, the quality of anaesthesia and the need for supplementary medication during maintenance were monitored. ⋯ The frequency of nausea after operation was low. The post-anaesthesia interview revealed that flunitrazepam possesses a more specific anterograde amnesic action than diazepam. Acceptability of the anaesthesia to the patient was equally good in both groups.

[The influence of sedation with diazepam and flunitrazepam during regional anaesthesia upon postoperative pulmonary performance (author's transl)].
In 32 patients between 53 and 86 years of age, undergoing transurethral prostatectomy, the influence of intraoperative sedation with Diazepam (5-10 mg) and Flunitrazepam (0,4-0,8 mg) on postoperative forced vital capacity, forced exspiratory volume (1 sec.) and peakflow, were measured, compared to placebo. We could not find a depression of these ventilatory parameters, in the three groups except peak-flow after sedation with Flunitrazepam in the evening after operation (p less than or equal to 0,05). We conclude that sedation during regional anesthesia does not impair the most important advantage of local anesthesia, the minor effect on ventilation, compared with general anesthesia.

[Effects of diazepam and flunitrazepam on the undesired postoperative side-effects of ketamine anaesthesia (author's transl)].
150 patients undergoing minor gynaecological procedures (curretages) were anesthetized with ketamine and either diazepam flunitrazepam or placebo in order to establish the best combination for the prevention of postoperative psychotomimetic effects. From observations, up to 24 h after operation, it was found and statistically proven that the combination of ketamine/flunitrazepam as compared to the combinations ketamine/diazepam and ketamine/placebo led to a remarkable reduction of psychotomimetic side reactions.
