چکیده

The effects of halothane on myocardial blood flow and myocardial oxygen balance were studied in seven male patients with stable angina and normal left ventricular function. Patients were receiving maintenance doses of beta-receptor antagonists and underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. Anaesthesia consisted of halothane and 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Halothane decreased myocardial blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption by 29% and 32%, respectively, after induction of anaesthesia, and during sternotomy. Myocardial lactate production was not observed at any time. Cardiac index, stroke volume index, mean arterial pressure and mean diastolic arterial pressure were decreased significantly after induction of anaesthesia and during sternotomy. Heart rate remained unchanged. The global myocardial oxygen supply and demand relationship was maintained. The results suggest that halothane is a safe anaesthetic for coronary revascularization in patients with unimpaired left ventricular function.

Nitrous 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...

Effect of nitrous oxide on the cardiovascular system and coronary circulation of the dog.

A comparison was made in seven dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbitone of cardiovascular measurements during ventilation with 65-70% nitrous oxide in oxygen and ventilation with 65-70% nitrogen in oxygen. The substitution of nitrous oxide for nitrogen was found to be associated, after 15 min, with a significant decrease in cardiac output and significant increases in right atrial and left ventric...

Cerebral Blood Flow during Trichloroethylene Anaesthesia: a Comparison with Halothane.

Cerebral blood flow has been measured in dogs using the method of Ingvar and Lassen (1962) in which flow is calculated from the rate of clearance from the exposed cerebral cortex of krypton 85 after its injection into the carotid artery. It was found that the addition of trichloroethylene in concentrations of 0.4-0.9 per cent to a nitrous oxideoxygen anaesthetic mixture did not alter the cerebr...

Blood pressure and cerebrospinal fluid pressure studies during lumbar air encephalography.

Blood pressure and cerebrospinal fluid pressure changes were studied during lumbar air encephalography under general anaesthesia. Two anaesthetic techniques were used. In one group spontaneous respiration with nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane was used and in the other controlled ventilation with nitrous oxide and oxygen was maintained. Larger falls in blood pressure, on sitting up, were seen...

Effects of nitrous oxide on respiration during halothane anaesthesia in the dog.

The pattern of ventilation was studied in eight greyhounds anaesthetized with halothane in 50% oxygen with nitrogen and in eight with the same concentration of halothane in 50% oxygen with nitrous oxide. There was a significant reduction in both inspiratory and expiratory times in the animals breathing nitrous oxide and an increase in the negative pressures developed in the obstructed airway du...
