Anaesthesia for Percutaneous Splenoportography in Children

CODE SMITH M.D., F.R.C.P.(C)1

1 Associate, Department of Anaesthesia, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario

Percutaneous splenoportography can be performed in less than one minute. It is essential that complete apnoea should be present during this time. Any non-explosive technique may be employed when dealing with patients with normal or nearly normal hepatic function. A reduction in the pharmacological insult to those with abnormal function can be obtained by pre-anaesthetic preparation and draping and the use of minimal amounts of hypnotic and short-acting relaxant.
