据 BMJ(1997,314:201)载英国 Edinburgh 皇家儿童医院医师对儿科麻醉领域中的新进展进行了总结:1.用七氟醚(sevoflurane)替代氟烷(halothane)施行吸入麻醉。前者的吸收和清除均较后者快,并且无后者有引起肝炎的问题。2.推广局部使用的丁卡因(tetracaine)凝胶,这是一种快速有效的局麻药,能明显减轻静脉插管 Recent advances in the field of pediatric anesthesia were summarized in BMJ (1997, 314: 201) by Royal Physicians’ Hospital, Edinburgh, UK: 1. Inhalation anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane in place of halothane. The former absorbed and cleared faster than the latter, and none of the latter had the problem of causing hepatitis. 2. Promote topical tetracaine gel, a fast and effective local anesthetic that significantly reduces venous intubation
