SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT
Be Ready For Malignant Hyperthermia
Malignant hyperthermia—the two words one never wants to
hear when administering general anesthesia. But when it does
occur, be ready with Dantrium IV, a sterile, non-pyrogenic,
lyophilized formulation of dantrolene sodium injection available
from Par Pharmaceutical, an endo international company.
Since the 1960s, Dantrium IV has reduced MH-related fatalities
by 70%. The product has 36 months of shelf life, is easy to
open, mixes in just 20 seconds, and is priced very competitively.

Peripheral Nerve Blocks Just Got A
Whole Lot Easier
Achieve more accurate peripheral nerve blocks with Portex
EchoGlo needles and catheters from Smiths Medical. Both
are clearly visible under ultrasound when viewed at any angle,
orientation or depth. The needle features a 360-degree, spiral-
wound groove pattern. It generates superior acoustic energy
that enhances brightness. Catheters are echogenic from one
end to the other, delivering impressive location visualization at
insertion and throughout use. Pair these solutions with Smiths
Medical's CADD infusion pumps and Portex pain management
products for successful continuous nerve blocks.

injection with Quease/EASE, a drug-free post-op treatment.

up to 80% of patients.
