ABSTRACT
Se comparó la influencia en la recuperación anestésica de dos narcóticos de corta duración en procedimientos endoscópico de no más de 20 minutos de duración, para cirugía y anestesia ambulatoria, con el objeto de determinar cual de los dos ejerce la acción más breve y sin presentar efectos acumulativos. Con método aleatorio y doble ciego, en dosis equipontentes (0,40 cc. por kg. de peso), se analizaron 46 pacientes ASA I ó II. Se midió tanto tiempo clínico del despertar anestésico y recuperación neurológica completa, como la velocidad en obtener las saturaciones de oxígeno iniciales o de base, a los cinco minutos del post-operatorio y en el momento del alta de la sala de recuperación. Resultaron dos grupos comparables sometidos a idéntica técnica anestésica, 22 alfentanil y 24 fentanil. La discusión se centró en los conocimientos actuales tanto de la farmacocinética como de la farmacodinámica de ambas drogas

Pre-school Children acceptability of a high nutritive value and low cost new food product (Fortesán) was studied. This mixture is formed by W.S.B. powdered milk and cacao. The purpose was to establish its a acceptability by the children and their mothers, in the Santiago population. A similar study had been already performed in 1972 in another marginal urban area and in rural areas. Inicial and final heights and weights were measured, and a socio-economical and acceptability survey was performed in all cases. The same experimental group was used as a control of it self. The study lasted 4 months, from April-May 1973 until August-September 1973. The sample was formed by children from 1 to 6 years old, coming from different socioeconomical levels. Results showed a good acceptability of the product both by the mothers and their children. It also showed a good influence in the height and weight that the children reached.
