Randomized Controlled Trial Retracted PublicationA randomized study of the effects of preoperative ketorolac on general anaesthesia for caesarean section.
Ketorolac may attenuate the maternal stress response to tracheal intubation, while avoiding opioid-induced neonatal depression. We aimed to evaluate the haemodynamic and hormonal effects of prophylactic ketorolac on surgical stress and analgesia after caesarean delivery. ⋯ Prophylactic ketorolac is safe and effective in attenuating the maternal stress response to intubation and improves the quality of analgesia after caesarean delivery.

Post-tetanic count and single twitch height at the onset of reflex movement after administration of vecuronium under different types of anaesthesia.
We have studied post-tetanic count (PTC) and single twitch height at the onset of reflex movement to carinal stimulation after administration of vecuronium with five different types of anaesthesia. Seventy-five adult patients were allocated randomly to five groups of 15 patients each, to receive one of the following anaesthetics: neuroleptanaesthesia (fentanyl and droperidol) or 1 MAC of either halothane, isoflurane, enflurane or sevoflurane with 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen. ⋯ Single twitch heights at the onset of reflex movement were similar (2.0-2.7% of control values) between the five groups. In contrast, PTC at the onset of reflex movement to carinal stimulation differed (7.4-17.0) between groups.

Recoveries of post-tetanic twitch and train-of-four responses after administration of vecuronium with different inhalation anaesthetics and neuroleptanaesthesia.
We have studied recovery of post-tetanic twitch (PTT) and train-of-four (TOF) responses after administration of vecuronium in 100 patients under different inhalation anaesthetics and neuroleptanaesthesia. Patients were allocated randomly to five groups of 20 patients each to receive: neuroleptanaesthesia (droperidol and fentanyl), halothane, isoflurane, enflurane or sevoflurane (1 MAC in nitrous oxide and oxygen). The times from initial administration of vecuronium 0.2 mg kg-1 to the first appearances of T1, T2, T3 and T4 differed significantly between groups. However, the intervals to the first appearance of PTT1, PTT10 and PTT20 did not differ significantly between groups.
