Point Electroanesthesia (General Electro-Pharmaceutical Anesthesia for Major Urological Human Surgery.
Abstract
Studies were conducted to develop portable instrumentation, small enough to be used in the field hospital, which produces safe, quickly induced, depth-regulatable, rapidly reversible general electroanesthesia. At the end of clinical, paraclinical and biological studies covering 130 patients operated under electro-pharmaceutical anesthesia, the following facts were established: The use of an unidirectional pulse current of high frequency does not have an irreversible detrimental effect, neither on the cerebral tissue, nor on other tissues or on the general metabolic processes. The genuine and unquestionable effect of the current manifests if the current is used in combination with minimal premedication drugs causing an increase in the intra-cellular level of potassium in the cerebral cells. The decrease in local and general infections observed post-operatively for major urological operations is statistically significant.
