Drug Hexamethonium Bromide Promises Safer Surgeries
A drug tested in British hospitals aims to reduce blood loss in delicate operations. Hexamethonium bromide lowers blood pressure to create near bloodless fields, speeding recovery. Dr George Hale Enderby of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital first trialed it, with 250 patients aged 11 to 78. Experts say it shows value in plastic surgery and deafness operations, but use requires highly experienced anaesthetists as the drug remains experimental.
