Hypertensive and catecholamine response to tracheal intubation in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension
(University of Nairobi, 1989-10)
The pressor and catecholamine responses to laryngoscopy and intubation were studied in nine patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and in eight normotensive controls. Five of the PIH patients had received oral ...
Plasma catecholamine concentrations--changes after infiltration with local anaesthetic solutions and adrenaline during bat-ear surgery
(University of Nairobi,, 1988-06)
Plasma catecholamine concentrations were measured in 12 patients who had bilateral bat-ear surgery following infiltration of each ear with 2 ml 2% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:100,000. Venous blood samples were withdrawn ...
Measurement of plasma catecholamine concentrations. An assessment of anxiety
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
This study was designed to assess the value of measurement of plasma catecholamine concentrations as an objective index of anxiety. A preliminary study was undertaken on 11 healthy volunteers (medically qualified), to ...
Cardiovascular and catecholamine responses to laryngoscopy with and without tracheal intubation
(University of Nairobi,, 1987-03)
The catecholamine and cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopy alone have been compared with those following laryngoscopy and intubation in 24 patients allocated randomly to each group. Following induction with fentanyl ...
Effects of alfentanil on the pressor and catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation
(University of Nairobi,, 1987-06)
The effects of alfentanil (given during induction of anaesthesia) on the haemodynamic and catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation were studied in 44 adult patients who received alfentanil 10 micrograms kg-1 or 40 ...
Effect of halothane on cardiovascular and plasma catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation
(University of Nairobi,, 1986-12)
The catecholamine and cardiovascular responses to intubation were investigated during halothane anaesthesia. Thirty patients were allocated randomly to two groups. Following induction of anaesthesia and muscle relaxation, ...
Postoperative absorption of controlled-release morphine sulphate. A study in patients given no parenteral opioids
(University of Nairobi, 1989-02)
The absorption of morphine sulphate in a controlled-release formulation was studied in 12 patients who had undergone unilateral inguinal hernia repair under a light general anaesthetic and ilio-inguinal block. Serum morphine ...
Changes in plasma catecholamine concentrations following infiltration with large volumes of local anaesthetic solution containing adrenaline
(University of Nairobi, 1986)
Plasma catecholamine concentrations have been measured in nine patients undergoing rhinoplasty following infiltration to the facial area of 21 ml of 0.5% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:200,000 and in seven patients undergoing ...
Changes in haemodynamics and plasma catecholamine concentrations after field block for inguinal herniorrhaphy using lignocaine with adrenaline
(University of Nairobi, 1990-01)
Haemodynamic changes and plasma catecholamine concentrations were measured in 12 patients aged 24 to 87 years after performance of a field block for elective repair of inguinal or femoral hernia. The local anaesthetic used ...
Effects of beta-adrenoceptor antagonism on the cardiovascular and catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation.
(University of Nairobi,, 1988-06)
The catecholamine and cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were studied in 20 patients who underwent elective gynaecological surgery and who were allocated randomly to receive either practolol ...
