title: Anaesthesia for carotid artery surgery.
abstract: Twenty-one carotid endarterectomies were performed on 18 patients anaesthetised during droperidol, fentanyl and a cervical plexus block. This technique permitted testing for motor function during carotid clamping, and allowed the operation to proceed safely without a shunt in the majority of patients.
