Postoperative hyperthermia of unknown origin treated with dantrolene sodium.

An 11-year-old girl was scheduled for alveolar cleft bone grafting with an iliac bone under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was performed with 70% nitrous oxide, 30% oxygen, and propofol. On the first and second postoperative day, persistent hyperthermia was observed.

Endotracheal intubation device with a charge couple device camera.

We developed an orotracheal intubation device equipped with a charge couple device (CCD) camera, providing a wide field of vision. We used this device to perform endotracheal intubations in 62 anesthetized patients undergoing dental treatment and oral surgery. The time required to perform an endotracheal intubation with this system was examined.
