REVIEW OF LITERATURE The first tracheal intubation was reported in 1543 by Vesalius in an animal . In the early 1870's, Trendelenburg from Germany performed the first endotracheal anesthesia in man. Macewen in 1878 reported the first elective endotracheal intubation for anesthesia.(21)
CIRCULATORY RESPONSE DURING LARYNGOSCOPY AND TRACHEAL INTUBATION :
The effects of endotracheal intuabation and laryngoscopy producing pressor response causing tachycardia, rise in BP and cardiac arrhythmia were first reported by Reid and Brace(1) in 1940 .They concluded that cardiac reflexes could originate in trachea, larynx , bronchi or lungs & effect a response by sudden increase in vagal tone. These reflexes were termed vasovagal as both afferent …show more content…
Derbyshire et al (2)found that one minute after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation,mean arterial pressure increase by about 35% and heart rate by 18% over the control levels.These cardiovascular changes are accompanied by elevations in plasma catecholamines: adrenaline increases by 40% and nor-adrenaline by 45%.Sribman et al(27) has divided the pressor response into two …show more content…
It was concluded that dexmedetomidine premedication in a dose of 0.6µg/kg body weight over 10 min blunted the rise in intraocular pressure caused by succinylcholine and intubation and attenuated the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.In 2008, Basar H et al.,(39) conducted a randomized prospective double blind controlled study to investigate the haemodynamic, cardiovascular and recovery effects of dexmedetomidine used as single preanaesthetic dose. Patients were randomly divided into two groups to

Effects of Drugs on Mucus Clearance

...Eur Respir J 1999; 14: 452±467 Printed in UK ± all rights reserved Copyright #ERS Journals Ltd 1999 European Respiratory Journal ISSN 0903-1936 SERIES "CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY" Edited by S.L. Hill and B. Webber Number 3 in this Series Effects of drugs on mucus clearance E. Houtmeyers, R. Gosselink, G. Gayan-Ramirez, M. Decramer Effects of drugs on mucus clearance. E. Houtmeyers, R. Gosselink, G. Gayan-Ramirez, M. Decramer. #ERS Journals Ltd 1999. ABSTRACT: Mucociliary clearance (MCC), the process in which airway mucus together with substances trapped within are moved out of the lungs, is an important defence mechanism of the human body. Drugs may alter this process, such that it is necessary to know the effect of the drugs on MCC. Indeed, agents stimulating MCC may be used therapeutically in respiratory medicine, especially in patients suspected of having an impairment of their mucociliary transport system. In contrast, caution should be taken with drugs depressing MCC as an undesired side-effect, independently of their therapeutic indication. Since cough clearance (CC) serves as a back-up system when MCC fails, the influence of drugs must be examined not only on MCC but also on CC. Ultimately, the clinical repercussions of alterations in mucus transport induced by drug administration must be studied. Tertiary ammonium compounds (anticholinergics), aspirin, anaesthetic agents and benzodiazepines have been shown to be capable of depressing the mucociliary transport system...

But it is much more…People are presented as [Fadiman] saw them, in their humility and their frailty—and their nobility.” —Sherwin B. Nuland, The New Republic 3/462 “Anne Fadiman’s phenomenal first book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, brings to life the enduring power of parental love in an impoverished refugee family struggling to protect their seriously ill infant daughter and ancient spiritual traditions from the tyranny of welfare bureaucrats and intolerant medical technocrats.” —Al Santoli, The Washington Times “A...
