A total of 67 Nigerians aged 6–43 years had ton-sillectomy using ketamine hydrochloride as the sole anaesthetic agent. The patients were not intubated. Pharyngeal movement and laryngospasm were effectively eliminated with preoperative lignocaine (Xylocaine) spray. The recovery period was prolonged. Pulse and blood pressure were elevated by 10–20% in all the patients for up to 10 hours. But there was no chest complication. It is concluded that ketamine hydrochloride is a safe alternative to endotracheal anaesthesia for ton-sillectomy when the latter is not available.

Background: Current economic constraints have led to the emergence of reusable anaesthetic sprays with replacement nozzles (Xylocaine) as an alternative to disposable anaesthetic solutions (Co-phenylcaine) for rhinological procedures. The former costs 213.84 per year vers12,047.69 for the latter, at equivocal doses. However, research regarding the sterility of such instruments is limited. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine whether bottles of Xylocaine could pose a risk of cross-infection to patients. Methods: Two techniques were used. The first was to introduce nozzles into methylene blue and fluorescein dyes, and then analysing the anaesthetic solutions using spectrophotometry for assessment of colour change indicating retrograde contamination. The second method involved spraying Xylocaine into cultures of Staphylococcus aureus with concurrent nozzle changes. This was repeated over a 36-day-period. Sterility checks were performed on the Xylocaine before and after inoculation into the culture. Results: None of the anaesthetic solutions showed the presence of dyed saline following spectrophotometric analysis. No S. aureus was isolated from any of the 30 spray bottles cultures over the 36-day trial period. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that using the Xylocaine spray with disposable nozzles for each patient should not pose a cross infection risk to patients.
