Aims: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of passive movements on hemodynamic parameters, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse, and pulse pressure of patients under ventilation. Materials & Method: In this controlled clinical trial, 64 patients under ventilation in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad University of ...

BACKGROUND Oxytocin may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, including tachycardia and hypotension, whereas the optimal dose of oxytocin at elective cesarean section is unclear. To determine the lowest effective dose of oxytocin, we studied the hemodynamic effects of three doses during spinal anesthesia for elective single cesarean delivery. METHODS Sixty women received oxytocin by continuou...

Objectives-The aims of this study were evaluation the effects of blood laser irradiation on hemodynamic parameters, the amount of anesthetic drugs in maintenance of anesthesia and duration of recovery. Animals- Fifteen mixed breed dogs Procedures- dogs (25.0 ± 3.6 kg) were divided into three groups (n=5). The group I was acted as control and received only cold laser. The group II was premedicat...

Valvular heart lesions have deleterious effects on hemodynamics in parturients during pregnancy. Cesarean section with an opioid-based general anesthesia is used to alleviate the adverse effects. We described a case of a 28-year-old primigravida at 37 weeks’ gestation with a diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and pulmonary hypertension in active labor. Cesarean s...

INTRODUCTION Thoracic surgery frequently requires one-lung ventilation (OLV). Hemodynamic changes are significant during OLV and surgical manipulation and precise management of fluid administration is vital to postoperative recovery and surgical outcome. The FloTrac system, a minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring device, with continuous cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume variation (SVV) ...

In order to determine the associated hemodynamic events, angina pectoris was induced by an atrial pacing technic. In all patients developing angina pectoris, ischemic changes were noted electrocardiographically. The hemodynamic findings were variable: in some patients no changes were noted; in others, significant increases in cardiac output, left ventricular end-diastolic pressures (LVEDP), and...
