A case of hearing deficit following nitrous oxide anaesthesia is reported. The mechanism and time course of nitrous oxide-induced intratympanic pressure changes are described and contrasted with the effects of non-nitrous oxide anaesthesia. The rate of increase is about 10 mm H20/min. The possibility that nitrous oxide may cause displacement of tympanic membrane grafts both outwards and inwards, or disrupt the reconstructed middle ear conducting mechanism, is raised again.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Double blind randomized trial of metopimazine: for postoperative nausea and vomiting after cholecystectomy].
Eighty-four patients submitted to cholecystectomy were randomly assigned in a double-blind study either to an intravenous dose of 10 mg of metopimazine, three times D-1, for two days or to an identically administered placebo. A definite superiority of metopimazine as an anti-emetic drug was demonstrated. General acceptance was excellent, but arterial pressure might be looked over closely when metopimazine was administered intravenously immediately after a general anesthesia.
