Smith, Francois Jacobus; Spijkerman, Sandra; Becker, Piet J.; Coetzee, J.F. (OpenJournals Publishing, 2010-08)

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that spectral entropy of the electroencephalogram as applied in the M-Entropy S/5TM Module (GE Healthcare) does not detect the effects of nitrous oxide (N2O). The aim of this study was ...
An evaluation of personality traits associated with job satisfaction among South African anaesthetists using the Big Five Inventory

Kisten, P.; Kluyts, Hyla-Louise (Taylor and Francis, 2018-02-22)

BACKGROUND : Job satisfaction is a vital contributor to occupational well-being and may be instrumental in mitigating stress and the adverse effects thereof. This is particularly pertinent in anaesthesiology, which is an ...
Haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy with and without tracheal intubation

Smith, P.; Smith, Francois Jacobus; Becker, Piet J. (Medpharm Publications, 2008-05)

INTRODUCTION: Tracheal intubation is accompanied by an increased blood pressure and heart rate. The aim of this study was to find the most important source of this haemodynamic response, namely laryngoscopy or intubation. ...
Induction of anaesthesia with propofol according to the adjusted ideal body mass in obese and non-obese patients: an observational study

Smith, Francois Jacobus; Jurgens, F.X.; Coetzee, J.F.; Becker, Piet J. (Medpharm Publications, 2019)

BACKGROUND: Obesity changes body composition including fat free mass (FFM), regarded as the “pharmacologically active mass”. Scaling drug doses to obese patients by total body mass (TBM) results in overdose. We aimed to ...
Intraocular pressure changes in patients undergoing cataract extraction and lens implantation : laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube

Motiang, M.J.; Rantloane, J.L.A. (Medpharm Publications, 2009-04)

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence on intraocular pressure (IOP) of airway management with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or tracheal tube (ETT), and secondly to compare the devices with regard to their impact on ...
Intubating conditions following four different doses of propofol in children

Du Preez, T.; Dippenaar, Johannes Marthinus (Tinus) (MedPharm Publications, 2020)

BACKGROUND : Day case surgery offers advantages to the patient, the family and the performing institution. Children are excellent candidates since they are generally healthy and often require brief surgical interventions. ...
Is there an optimum level of intra-operative glucose control?

Rantloane, J.L.A. (OpenJournals Publishing, 2011-02)

Trauma, surgery and anaesthesia are known triggers of the stress response and this has been shown in many studies to present as a hyperglycaemic response. These elevated blood glucose levels have, in turn, been linked in ...
Keeping the score : letters to the editor

Alberts, A. (OpenJournals Publishing, 2010-05)

No abstract available.
Laryngospasm in anaesthesia

Spijkerman, Sandra (MedPharm Publications, 2017)

Laryngospasm is a common and serious respiratory complication in anaesthetic practice which can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated timeously. This review will look at the definition, epidemiology, mechanism, risk ...

Alberts, A.N.J.D. (Andries) (OpenJournals Publishing, 2014)

Unexpected difficulty in maintaining an open airway following induction of anaesthesia remains an ever-present hazard. Repetitive attempts at direct laryngoscopy and intubation are generally acknowledged to be inappropriate. ...
