Abstract
The effects of enflurane-pancuronium anaesthesia on cardiovascular haemodynamics were studied before operation in six patients with valvular heart disease. A ten per cent decline in cardiac index and a 20 per cent decline in stroke volume were the only changes observed. Mean arterial, pulmonary arterial, central venous, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures were unaffected, as were systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary vascular resistance. The authors therefore conclude that enflurane-pancuronium anaesthesia causes only minimal cardiovascular depression in patients with valvular heart disease. Les effets cardiovasculaires ďune anesthésie à ľenflurane-pancuronium ont été étudiés chez six opérés présentant une pathologie valvulaire. Une diminution de 10 pour cent de ľindex cardiaque et de 20 pour cent du volume ďéjection ont été les seules modifications observées. La pression artérielle moyenne, la pression de ľartère pulmonaire, la tension veineuse centrale et la pression capillaire bloquée étaient inchangées, de même que les résistances vasculaires périphériques et pulmonaires. Les auteurs concluent qu’une anesthésie à ľenflurane-pancuronium ne cause qu’une dépression cardiovasculaire minime chez des patients présentant une atteinte valvulaire.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
