Anesthetics respiratory acidosis with

Aminoglycoside-induced neuromuscular blockade can be clinically relevant in patients with respiratory acidosis, in myasthenia gravis, and in other neuromuscular diseases. Severe illness, the simultaneous use of anesthetics, for example in the immediate postoperative phase, and apphcation of the antibiotic to serosal surfaces are predisposing factors (10).

Because clove cigarettes also contain tobacco, they carry all of the hazards of regular tobacco smoking (Council on Scientific Affairs 1988). Several cases of serious medical illness have been associated with clove cigarettes in the United States (Guidotti et al. 1989). These include cases of hemorrhagic pulmonary edema, pneumonia, bronchitis, and hemoptysis. Because eugenol anesthetizes the respiratory tract, it inhibits the normal gag reflex and has led to aspiration pneumonia in at least one case. Accidental overdoses in children have led to CNS depression, urinary abnormalities, and anion-gap acidosis. These cases were treated successfully with supportive measures (Lane et al. 1991).
