Pre-operative analgesia with rectal diclofenac and/or paracetamol in children undergoing inguinal hernia repair.

abstract：:We modified a Penlon Nuffield 200 for use in a monoplace hyperbaric oxygen chamber by feeding back the chamber pressure to the reducing valve of the Nuffield 200. This provides a compensating mechanism, allowing the ventilator to deliver adequate tidal volumes at pressures of up to 3 atmospheres. We report the laborat...
