Cardiac dysrhythmias during oral surgery. Comparison of hyoscine and droperidol premedication

Anaesthesia
D C Smith, P O'Connell

Abstract

The incidence of cardiac dysrhythmias during inpatient dental anaesthesia under halothane was studied following either hyoscine or droperidol as a supplement to papaveretum for premedication. Forty-three percent of patients given hyoscine exhibited cardiac dysrhythmias compared to 23 percent of the group given droperidol (p = 0.03). The incidence of dysrhythmias bore no relationship to the age, sex or weight of the patient, nor to the end tidal carbon dioxide tension.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
