We wanted to evaluate transoesophageal atrial stimulation as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias. ⋯ Transesophageal atrial stimulation has proved to be a useful diagnostic tool in the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias at our hospital. Nearly half the patients required no further investigations after transoesophageal atrial stimulation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Do short-term duration drugs for anaesthesia give postoperative advantages compared to traditional drugs?].
We wanted to compare totally intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil to mixed anaesthesia with isoflurane and fentanyl in terms of postoperative pain, nausea, length of stay and costs. ⋯ The use of totally intravenous anaesthesia led to more nausea and more expenses than mixed anaesthesia in laparoscopic gynaecologic day-care surgery. No recommendations for either method can be made because of the non-randomized design.

[Incidence and prevention of occupational electrical accidents].
The Norwegian Directorate for Fire and Electrical Safety receives an annual total of 50 reports of injuries caused by electricity, while the Labour Inspection Authority receives 150 reports. The underreporting is, however, considerable. In this article we estimate the Incidence of occupational electrical accidents and describe the legislation regulating the reporting of injuries from electrical accidents. ⋯ We received reports that indicated an incidence of 7.6 serious accidents per 100 person-years, which equal more than 3000 electrical accidents annually in Norway. Underreporting complicates accident prevention. Doctors should more often report occupational accidents than what is common today.
