Some of the main arguments are presented which led us to develop our present anaesthetic record. This record system and a part of its voluminous code is described. ⋯ Furthermore, the course of aneaesthesia and its effects upon the patient can be numerically recorded in a detailed fashion. The punching is affected by a small rate of error only.

The effects of spinal anaesthesia neuroleptanaesthesia and surgery on the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats were investigated in two groups of 11 young, metabolically healthy patients, undergoing trauma surgical procedures. For both groups the determined parameters glucose, lactate, glycerol, ketone-bodies, NEFA and insulin remained, during the operative and early postoperative phase, within the physiological range without any marked differences. Both anaesthetic procedures seemed to be equally suited for these operations; therefore other criteria should be used as a basis for the selection of the anaesthetic management.
