  • Title: [Althesin in general surgery].
    Author: Liistro A.
    Journal: Minerva Anestesiol; 1980 Feb; 46(2):347-50. PubMed ID: 7454010.
    Abstract:
    An account is given of the employment of althesin as an induction and maintenance anaesthetic. It is free of the drawbacks observed with thiopentone induction, and has negligible haemodynamic and respiratory effects. Its association with leptophen permitted excellent analgesia at minimal leptophen doses, without secondary effects either during or after anaesthesia. When there was a surgical need for relaxation, enhancement of the action of Pavulon was observed. Althesin enables volatile anaesthetics to be dispensed with. Quick and undramatic reawakening is another attractive feature of anaesthesia with this new drug.
