One hundred and ninety-five female patients of child-bearing age were assessed for postoperative vomiting in a double-blind trial using domperidone, metoclopramide and placebo. Compared with placebo, both drugs were found to reduce vomiting in approximately half the patients who had undergone caesarean section. However, in the group of non-obstetric patients, no statistically significant difference as regards vomiting was shown.

Constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) represents a major advance in the treatment of hypoxaemia. By increasing the functional residual capacity (FRC), airway closure and airway resistance are minimized. Ventilation and perfusion are more evenly matched so that gas exchange is made more efficient. In addition, the lung remains on a favourable portion of the compliance curve so that the work of breathing is reduced. The increased oxygenation is achieved at the lowest possible inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) to minimize oxygen toxocity. A unified approach to the terms used, as well as their abbreviations, is presented.

A case of a pericardial tamponade with progressive superior venacaval obstruction indicating the presence of a neoplasm is presented. The patient developed an acute life-threatening pericardial tamponade for which she underwent thoracotomy. When the tamponade was released, she developed sudden acute superior venacaval obstruction which necessitated the insertion of a Dacron graft between the right innominate vein and the right atrium. The anaesthetic management and the physiology of the haemodynamics are discussed.
