ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of the brachial plexus block using an axillary route employing the technique in which the needle is inserted into the sheath at an angle parallel to the neuro-vascular bundle with a sole modification: using a G22 spinal needle and without evoking paresthesia. The results obtained show that this method ensures an improved and more widespread analgesia. The flexibility and small size of the G22 spinal needle allow traumas to the axillary guaina and brachial plexus to be reduced to a minimum. In addition its length enables the anesthetic solution to be diffused around the first rib, including the axillary and musculo-cutaneous nerves, thus ensuring e total sensory and motor block of the upper limb.

We have reported the results of 700 general anesthesia induced and maintained by Propofol in women who have undergone IVG operation. The anesthesia-method used has guaranteed an adequate level of anesthesia with the characteristics of a quick induction, non significant variations of the cardiovascular parameters, a quick recovery of consciousness, low incidence of side effects, the abolition of the azote-peroxide and the halogen-anesthetics, a quick discharge of the patients.

A case of severe anaphylactic reaction provoked by suxamethonium during the induction of general anaesthesia is reported. Diagnosis of reaction and the trigger effect of suxamethonium was identified by intradermal testing. Diagnosis of anaphylactic reaction was confirmed on serial blood estimations of IgE and C3-C4 of complement fractions.
