A multicentre trial was designed to determine the dose-response and side-effects of esmolol
when administered as a single iv bolus prior to induction of anaesthesia for controlling the …

Oxygen consumption (VO 2 ), carbon dioxide production (VCO 2 ), end-tidal carbon dioxide
partial pressure (PETCO 2 ), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO 2 ) and haemodynamic …

We assessed the relationship between the duration of atrial activity during the cross-clamp
period and the postoperative occurrence of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in 50 patients …

We examined whether different plasma fentanyl concentrations could maintain hemodynamic
stability during coronary artery surgery. Two randomly selected groups of 10 patients were …

This study was undertaken in order to compare the effectiveness of amrinone and dobutamine
as primary treatment of a low cardiac output (CO) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG…

The electrical activity of the heart was studied in 25 patients undergoing elective coronary
artery bypass grafting. Simultaneous surface electrocardiograms and bipolar atrial …

Plasma fentanyl concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in patients during
aortocoronary bypass surgery and correlated with hemodynamic responses to surgical …

To determine which of the commonly used “core” temperature sites, remote from the brain,
best indicates total body rewarming, the temperatures in the rectum (RT), urinary bladder (UBT…

MAC BAR, the minimum end-tidal alveolar anesthetic concentration that inhibits adrenergic
response to a noxious stimulus in 50% of subjects, is a quantifiable physiological parameter …

There appears to be no reason why succinylcholine cannot be used for intubation where
deemed advantageous by the anaesthetist, for the rise in intraocular pressure has been …
