[The ELIMAN-401 analgesic transcutaneous electrostimulator with automatic adjustment of the length of the stimulus].

The authors describe the design of a new electrostimulator for intraoperative and postoperative anesthesia and relief of neurological and traumatological pain. The main technical characteristics and results of clinical tests are presented.

[Transcutaneous electrostimulation--method leading to a permeation system of electroanalgesia in oncological practice].

Analgetic transcutaneous electrostimulation with the newly-designed Soviet-made ELIMAN-101 installation was used for treatment of tumor-induced pain in 84 cases (as a component of general intraoperative anesthesia--in 29, for postoperative pain--54, for analgesia in cases of advanced tumor--in 11 patients). Intraoperative application of the said procedure resulted in a 2.4-fold decrease in phentanyl consumption.

[Analgesia by electric current in the early postoperative period].

In 295 patients in the early postoperative period anesthesia was performed by means of percutaneous electrostimulation with a new national apparatus Eliman-101. The authors note high efficiency of such analgesia in 63,4% of the patients, satisfactory results were obtained in 32,3%. No sufficient anesthesia was achieved in 13 patients (4,3%).
