Comparison of haemodynamic effects of intravenous isoprenaline and adrenaline after aortic valvar homograft replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cardiovascular effects of an intravenous infusion of adrenaline (10 mug./min.) and isoprenaline (0.75 mug./min.) have been compared in two groups of six patients in the early post-operative period following aortic valvar homograft replacement. These doses were chosen to produce obvious haemodynamic effects without precipitating dysrhythmias. Though both drugs have been shown to improve the circulatory state, adrenaline caused a greater change in stroke volume and in arterial pulse pressure, and for any given rise in heart rate a greater increase in the cardiac index. In addition, adrenaline caused a greater improvement in the relation between oxygen demand and oxygen supply of the body. Isoprenaline did not cause an increase in systolic and pulse pressure and always aggravated hypoxaemia. It is concluded from this study that adrenaline is the more satisfactory drug to use in the early post-operative phase following aortic valvar homograft replacement.

Haemodynamic effects of intravenous adrenaline sulphate following aortic valvar homograft replacement.
Intravenous adrenaline sulphate is commonly used in the treatment of low cardiac output states following heart operations. Although its cardiovascular effects have been studied in animals and in normal man (Aviado, 1959; Eckstein and Abboud, 1962), its precise effects immediately following open-heart operations have received little attention. This paper reports the haemodynamic effects of intra...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of isopropylnoradrenaline sulphate (isoprenaline) following aortic valve homograft replacement.
Isopropylnoradrenaline sulphate (isoprenaline) is a sympathomimetic drug having an action predominantly on the ,B-receptors of the sympathetic system (Moran, 1963). It has been shown in normal man to have positive inotropic and chronotropic actions on the myocardium, producing increases in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output (Weissler, Leonard, and Warren, 1959). The drug is used exte...
متن کاملArterial hypoxaemia: a side-effect of intravenous isoprenaline used after cardiac surgery.
A side-effect of intravenous isoprenaline used after cardiac surgery Intravenous administration of isoprenaline following cardiac surgery has been shown to cause an increase in existing arterial hypoxaemia. This is considered to be due to an increase in venous admixture following interference with the normal compensatory mechanism which in the presence of alveolar hypoxia tends to maintain norm...
متن کاملHaemodynamic changes in patients with high pulmonary vascular resistance after mitral valve replacement. Comparative study between use of unstented aortic homograft valves and Starr-Edwards prostheses.
The clinical and haemodynamic responses to mitral valve replacement were studied in 36 patients with a pulmonary vascular resistance of4 units or above. In ig patients, I3 women and 6 men (mean age 49-7 years) Starr-Edwards prostheses were used. In I7 patients, 7 women and IO men (mean age 53 6 years) fresh unstented aortic homografts were inserted. In the latter group, 3 patients had, in addit...
متن کاملMitral valve replacement with mounted aortic valve homografts.
The clinical results of isolated mitral valve replacement with mounted aortic valve homografts undertaken in 29 patients is presented. In 15 of these patients haemodynamic evaluations were made before and after operation. The results attest to the haemodynamic suitability of the homograft aortic valve in the mitral position and it would appear from this initial study that there will be little d...
