- Bookedited by Tim Cook, Michael Kristensen.Summary: "It is a great honour and pleasure for us to have been asked to take over editing the 3rd edition of this book, so successfully previously edited by Ian Calder and Adrian Pearce. It is now almost 10 years since the last edition of the book was published and it is clearly time for an update. In this new 3rd edition we have updated only a small number of chapters - most have been completely rewritten to ensure they are up to date and relevant. While a few chapters have been combined we have added several new ones to ensure the book fully covers the range of challenges encountered during modern airway management. There are new full chapters on the epidemiology of airway complications, ultrasonography, videolaryngoscopy, combined techniques, expiratory ventilatory assist, airway management for robotic surgery, during CPR, for the bloody and bleeding airway and during prehospital emergency medicine"-- Provided by publisher.Digital Access Cambridge 2020
- ArticleVolans GN.Clin Pharmacokinet. 1978 Jul-Aug;3(4):313-8.The majority of migraine attacks are associated with gastrointestinal symptoms which add considerably to the distress and inconvenience caused by the headache. When salicylate absorption from effervescent aspirin tablets was studied during migraine, the rate of absorption was found to be reduced relative to that found in non-migrainous volunteers and in the same patients when headache-free. There is evidence that this reduced rate of absorption is caused by gastrointestinal stasis and reduced rate of gastric emptying. Patients in whom aspirin absorption was delayed were more likely to take longer to respond and to require additional treatment. Metoclopramide, which increases gastric emptying rate, has been shown to improve the rate of absorption of aspirin during migraine and also increase the rate of recovery from the attack and avoid the need for additional treatment; effects which were not shown by thiethylperazine. It is likely that delayed absorption during migraine affects some drugs other than aspirin, such as ergotamine, and it is therefore recommended that the most rapidly absorbable formulation should be used. If such treatment is ineffective, metoclopramide may be a useful addition and should be tried before resorting to other routes of administration.
