Key result
Halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen anesthesia during oral surgery was associated with cardiac arrhythmias in 42.7% of procedures.
Why the study?
Does intravenously administered methohexital sodium followed by halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen mixture cause cardiac arrhythmias in healthy individuals undergoing oral surgery?
Population
65 apparently healthy individuals undergoing 103 consecutive oral surgical procedures
Design

Observed arrhythmia association with halothane in oral surgery is hypothesis-generating; controlled trials needed before practice implications.

Does intravenously administered methohexital sodium followed by halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen mixture cause cardiac arrhythmias in healthy individuals undergoing oral surgery?
Halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen anesthesia during oral surgery is associated with a high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, suggesting it should not be used routinely in outpatient settings without prompt resuscitation capabilities.
Charlés Fisch (1969) conducted an observational in Oral surgery (n=65). Halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen anesthesia was evaluated on Cardiac arrhythmias. Halothane-nitrous-oxide-oxygen anesthesia during oral surgery was associated with cardiac arrhythmias in 42.7% of procedures.
