Abstract
The effect of halothane and enflurane on changes in heart rate during reversal of neuromuscular blockade was compared in 48 patients. Premedication and anaesthetic technique was standardized. Either halothane or enflurane was used as the primary anaesthetic. Neuromuscular block was reversed by injection of glycopyrrolate and neostigmine, given either separately or simultaneously. Heart rate changes were significantly different between the halothane and enflurane subgroups. Patients anaesthetized with enflurane showed less fluctuations in heart rate. Simultaneous injection of glycopyrrolate and neostigmine minimized the tachycardia in the halothane subgroups only. Dans cette étude portant sur 48 malades, on a observé l’influence de l’halothane et de l’enflurane sur les changements de fréquence cardiaque qui suivent la neutralisation du bloc neuromusculaire. La prémédication et la technique anesthésique étaient les mêmes, seul l’agent principal variait: halothane ou enflurane. Le bloc neuromusculaire était neutralisé par l’injection de glycopyrrolate et neostigmine administrés séparément ou simultanément. Des changements de fréquence statistiquement significatifs ont été observés d’un groupe à l’autre: les patients du groupe enflurane présentant moins de fluctuations des fréquences cardiaques. L’injection simultanée de glycopyrrolate et de néostigmine a contribué à diminuer la tachycardie dans les sous-groupes à l’halolhane seulement.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
