irritating to the airway and therefore cannot be used for mask (inhalation) inductions, especially not in children. Desflurane causes an increase in heart rate, and so should be avoided for patients with heart problems

Effects on inhalation of paint thinner fumes on haematological parameters?

Inhalation of paint thinner fumes can lead to various adverse effects on hematological parameters, including alterations in red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet function. Exposure may result in anemia or leukopenia due to the toxic effects of solvents on bone marrow function. Additionally, the inhalation of these fumes can induce oxidative stress and inflammation, further impacting blood parameters. Chronic exposure may increase the risk of more severe hematological disorders.


Why does pulsus paradoxus occur?

Pulsus paradoxus occurs due to a significant drop in blood pressure during inhalation, typically seen in conditions like cardiac tamponade, severe asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During inhalation, increased intrathoracic pressure can impair venous return to the heart, leading to reduced stroke volume and subsequently lower systolic blood pressure. This phenomenon is characterized by a difference of more than 10 mmHg in blood pressure readings between inhalation and exhalation. It reflects underlying pathophysiological changes in the cardiovascular system in response to respiratory mechanics.

What is the difference between local and general anesthetic?

Local anesthetic is safe if the dosage is not excessive. When the area to aspirate is extensive, the high doses of local anesthetic required are toxic and may cause serious complications. In these cases, a general anesthetic (by inhalation) guarantees the best results, reducing risks to a minimum. In any case now the client can return home after the surgery.
