[Anesthesia problems of the multiply-injured patient]. / Problemi di anestesia nel politraumatizzato.

Anaesthesia in the case of subjects with multiple injuries is commonly a short-term emergency measure, in which a certain time is available for the implementation of intensive antishock therapy, or else anaesthesia for deferred emergency situations. Since the introduction of ketamine and althesin, the anaesthesiological risk has greatly reduced. Althesin has the best therapeutic index of all anaesthetics and the least myocardial toxicity. It also reduces intracranial pressure. Ketamine offers considerable neurovegetative protection. A personal technique, in which althesin with without althesin, is the drug of choice, is described.

Following mention of problems of cerebral haemodynamics and the action of various anaesthetics on endocranial pressure, a personal anaesthesiological technique based on the use of althesin in drip form is reported and its advantages listed.
