[Rheoencephlographic studies during general halothane anesthesia and laughing gas in stomatological treatment of children at the out-patient department].

Abstract

Thirty two children, aged from 6 to 14 were studied by the rheoencephalographic method during general halothane and laughing gas anesthesia, stomatologically treated under out-patient department conditions. The quantitative analysis of the rheoencephalographic curves made of the method of differentia, the data being compared one hour before the general anesthesia, during the stage of surgical anesthesia and one hour after it. Statistically significant data were established showing pulse supply improvement and reduction of vascular tone of the brain blood vessels during general anesthesia and one hour after it. The expedience of the application of the rheoencephalographic method during general anesthesia is stressed upon as well as the potentialities of its application in the stomatological practice. The positive qualities of the method of general anesthesia applied for the stomatological treatment of children under out-patient department conditions are confirmed.
