Abstract
Ketamine was found to raise the systemic arterial blood pressure but not necessarily the perfusion in hypovolaemic states. However, in hypotensive states of short duration from endotoxin treatment, it improved the haemodynamics with increase in both the perfusion and the systemic pressure. The implications of these observations for clinical situations were discussed. En mesurant la tension artérielle, la pression veineuse centrale et le débit cardiaque, les auteurs ont démontré que la Kétamine en présence de choc hypovolhémique, élève la tension artérielle sans nécessairement améliorer la perfusion; cependant au cours d’hypotension de courte durée, induite par injection d’endo-toxine, la Kétamine améliore et la perfusion et la tension artérielle systémique. Les applications cliniques de ces constatations sont discutées.Keywords
