General Electropharmaceutical Anesthesia (Point Electroanesthesia).
Abstract
Our ultimate objective remains the total elimination of drugs and the production of pure electroanesthesia. At the present stage of our research, a mixed method called electropharmaceutical anesthesia has been developed. Drugs are still used for induction, but in most cases anesthesia is maintained throughout surgery with the analgesic effect of electrical current. There is far less pharmaceutical intoxication than with classical anesthesia since the maintenance of anesthesia is made by means of electric current according to the routine protocole thus avoiding injections of drugs which are known to be toxic. Two double-blind studies were made upon request of the site-visit team. The efficiency of current was then evaluated during a first study on 50, then a second one on 37 volunteer patients. The induction was the same for all patients, but maintenance was different in the two studies.
