Patient-controlled interscalene analgesia with ropivacaine after major shoulder surgery: PCIA vs PCA.

abstract：:We have developed a simple, reliable method for rapid analysis of the partial pressure of volatile anaesthetic agents, based on a two-stage, head-space analysis. It is designed to solve the problems associated with reduced solubility of modern anaesthetics. After equilibration and analysis of a 2-ml sample of blood at...
