Effect of Prolonged Chloralose Anesthesia on Acid‐Base Balance and Cardiovascular Functions in Dogs

Abstract
Arfors, K.‐E., G. Artursonand P. Malmberg,Effect of prolonged chloralose anesthesia on acid‐base balance and cardiovascular functions in dogs. Acta physiol. scand. 1971.81. 47–53.Dogs under light even α‐chloralose anesthesia of 6 hrs duration showed no time dependent effect of anesthesia on mean arterial pressure, cardiac index and oxygen consumption. The Pacon remained stable as did respiratory rate, but base excess decreased moderately and heart rate increased. Compared with a group of conscious dogs Paco2and mean arterial pressure were slightly increased.
