[Propofol (Diprivan) in emergency anesthesia].

This is an assessment of the effect of propofol (Diprivan) as a hypnotic component of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in conjunction with alfentanyl (Rapifen), securing the antinociceptive component, and atracurium (Tracrium) as myorelaxant. The aforementioned constellation is used with the goal to attain a much better control of TIVA, substantiated both pharmacokinetically and pharmacodynamically. This type of anesthesia is applied to 15 patients presenting acute surgical diseases, classified III-IV degree according to ASA.

[Prolonged propofol (Diprivan) infusion for sedation in the critically ill].

Continued sedation has important practical implications on overcoming the physical and psychic stress which in turn, has important practical implications on the well-being of patients in conditions of intensive care unit. It is the purpose of the study to assess the quality and characteristics of sustained sedation with constant propofol (Diprivan) and fentanyl infusion. As a result of the study the inference is reached that sedation with Diprivan and fentanyl, administered as constant infusion, lends itself readily to control, and what is more, it is free of noteworthy side effects.

[Is propofol (Diprivan) indicated in emergency surgery?].

Propofol is an anesthetic characterized by specific pharmacologic qualities, conditioning compliance of the clinical picture with the drug infusional rate, high-degree safety and facilitated anesthesia conduction--qualities by which it bears resemblance to inhalation anesthesia. This is an assessment of the qualities of TIVA with Propofol in poor-risk patients according to ASA, operated on an emergency basis. Proceeding from the obtained results, the inference is reached that continuous Propofol infusion provides for adequate anesthesia control and safety of the patients with heightened anesthesiologic and operative risk.

[Combined loco-regional anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia with propofol (Diprivan--Zeneca)].

It is the purpose of the study to outline the superiorities of combined anesthesia in 100 patients undergoing orthopaedic (25 cases) and orthopaedic surgery (75 cases) interventions. The average duration of the operation is 90 +/- 25 min, performed under continuous peripheral (40 patients) and central (60 patients) nerve block, using Propofol against the background of continuous i.v.

[The clinical use of lincomycin in treating anaerobic infection in patients with surgical abdomen].

Experience is recorded with lincomycin treatment of 59 patients with acute surgical abdomen. The primary anaerobic flora was eradicated in 86 per cent of the patients. For the very good therapeutic results essential was the early instituted adequate antibiotic therapy in adequate dose and for adequate length of time.
