Abstract
Haemodynamic studies were made in five patients receiving sodium nitroprusside by intravenous infusion for controlled hypotension during nitrous oxide/halothane anaesthesis. There were marked falls in arterial pressure, peripheral resistance and central venous pressure. Heart rate and cardiac output rose while stroke volume was little changed. All parameters returned quickly to control values on discontinuation of sodium nitroprusside administration.Keywords
