The influence of premeditation on the occurrence of dysrhythmias during oral surgery

Abstract

The incidence of cardiac dysrhythmia during inpatient dental anaesthesia with enflurane was studied following either hyoscine or droperidol as a supplement to papaveretum premedication. None of the subgroup given droperidol exhibited dysrhythmias, compared to 4.4% of those patients given hyoscine. This difference was not significant at the 5% level (0.2 > p > 0.1).
