Upper airway reflex sensitivity following general anaesthesia for day‐case surgery

Abstract: SummaryWe have studied changes in upper airway re¯ex sensitivity following general anaesthesia using dilute ammonia vapour as a chemical stimulant in 16 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gynaecological surgery. We measured the threshold concentration of ammonia vapour required to elicit a transient reduction of inspiratory¯ow caused by glottic closure, de®ned as a glottic stop. Measurements of upper airway re¯ex sensitivity and auditory reaction time were obtained before surgery, and at 60 and 120 min … Show more

“…However, they were not applied to the patients tested in our study. But, as has been reported by Caranza et al [23], complete recovery and awareness after general anaesthesia do not prevent silent aspiration, which may contibute to the impaired speed and accuracy of speech. Therefore, inferior performance in reading non-words might be due both to phonological and motor impairment of speech organs.…”
