[The use of dihydrocodeine for postoperative analgesia in gynecological operations]. / Prilozhenie na dikhidrokodein za sledoperativno obezboliavane pri ginekologichni operatsii.

16 patients received twice daily 60-90 mg DHC-Continus. The evaluation of the pain was done with use of visual linear scale from 1-10 (Scott-Huskisson). Four complications occurred: headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation. The authors conclude that the orally administration of DHC is an effective alternative for postoperative treatment of pain in gynecological patients.

[A retrospective comparison between clinical cases and graphs of biorhythms]. / Retrospektivno sravnenie mezhdu klinichni sluchai i grafikite na bioritmite.

The present article develops the hypothesis of the biorhythms in a retrospective study of 50 normal parturitions, 13 premature births of dead fetuses, 9 premature rip off of the placenta, 4 caesarean sections with spinal anaesthesia and unmotivated high arterial pressure and 2 cases of clinical death, one of which treated successfully to life again. The results show high mathematical probability, i.e. 53% of all the incidents had happened exactly in the most critical days. The authors consider correctly that a number of preliminary planed surgical interventions could be in conformity not only with the determined by the biorhythms days but with the most convenient for the patient hour, too. And this is a routine already in a lot of western countries, and especially in the fields of oncological surgery.

[A clinical trial of the preparation hypnomidate in gynecological operations]. / Klinichno izpitvane na preparata khipnomidat pri ginekologichni operatsii.

The influence of the venous anaesthetic hypnomidate (Yansen, Belgium), used as an induction anaesthetic, was studied on some parameters of respiration, hemodynamics, acid-base balance. The authors are of the opinion that the preparation is suitable for induction in anaesthesia especially in patients with high risk.

[Our experience with spinal anesthesia in cesarean section]. / Nashiiat opit sus spinalna anesteziia pri tsezarevo sechenie.

The study included 400 women, undergone delivery by cesarean section (300 retrospectively and 100 prospectively) for a 2-year period. The influence of the spinal anaesthesia was investigated on the hemodynamics of the mother and the clinical state of the newborn (according to Apgar). The spinal anaesthesia occupies substantial place among the methods, used for anesthetization in cesarean section. The authors are of the opinion that the spinal anesthesia is quick, easy for technical performance and effective method for anaesthesia in cesarean section, accompanied by few complications and side effects.
