Measurement of coronary blood flow in dogs and man from rate of myocardial nitrous oxide desaturation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technic of measuring left ventricular coronary blood flow in dogs and man from the rate of desaturation of nitrous oxide from the myocardium is presented. The desaturation technic appears valid in comparison with the previously described saturation technic, and affords definite technical advantages. By combining the two technics, flows may be measured within much less time than by repeating either method alone.

• The Kety-Schmidt method for measurement of regional blood flow was first applied to the heart by Eckenhoff et al. These investigators employed coronary sinus catheterization to measure myocardial blood flow with nitrous oxide. The use of a radioactive gas and an external detector for the measurement of organ blood flow was investigated by Conn, Lewis et al., and Lassen et al. The radioactive ...
متن کاملMyocardial blood flow measurement with 133-Xenon effect of glyceryl trinitrate in dogs.
Earlier methods for the measurement of blood flow through the coronary arteries and myocardium caused much disturbance of the normal circulation, and it was not until the introduction of the nitrous oxide method (Eckenhoff et al., 1948) that a suitable technique became available for use in the intact animal, and in man. The use of saline solutions of 133Xenon for the measurement of myocardial b...
متن کاملNitrous oxide added to halothane reduces coronary flow and myocardial oxygen consumption in patients with coronary disease.
The haemodynamic and myocardial metabolic effects of adding 50 per cent nitrous oxide to 0.5 per cent halothane were studied in 13 patients, before the surgical incision for coronary artery vein grafts. Cardiac output and coronary sinus blood flow were determined by thermodilution, along with haemodynamic measurements. Measurements 15 minutes after addition of nitrous oxide revealed a significa...

THE measurement of organ blood flow in the intact animal and man is limited primarily to methods relying either on the Fick principle or on the dye-dilution method.'-3 Measurement of coronary flow in man has been accomplished by the uptake of an inert diffusing gas, nitrous oxide, by the heart muscle.4 This method requires that a state of equilibrium between the coronary circulation and the myo...
متن کاملAn analysis of coronary flow and related factors following vagotomy, atropine, and sympathectomy.
Coi'onary blood flow in the dog has been measured by the nitrous oxide desaturation method before and after acute bilateral cervical vagotomy, intravenous injection of atropine, and chronic sympathectomy. Vagotomy and atropine markedly increased coronary flow, myoeardial oxygen consumption, and heart rate, but decreased left ventricular efficiency. Chronic sympatheetomy resulted in the followin...
