ARTERIAL BLOOD GASES AFTER ATROPINE SULPHATE IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS

The effects of atropine 0.6 mg. intravenously administered to ten healthy volunteers in recumbent position, on arterial pH, PaCO2, and PaO2 were determined; there were no significant alterations of blood gas values after atropine administration. There seems to be no contraindication to the use of atropine sulphate for premedication in terms of its effect upon arterial blood-gases, in patients with normal cardiorespiratory function.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/32885/1/0000263.pd

Organ Transplantation: Medico-Legal Considerations

This paper will examine the legal problems that arise in obtaining human organs from both living and non-living donors with special emphasis on the issue of consent. It also will address such issues as when is a donor really dead ? Public policy questions concerning experimentation, the ethics of transplantation, and the sale of human organs will be reviewed. Finally, some suggestions will be presented which may, hopefully, contribute to a more adequate supply of human transplant material
