Tóm tắt

Methoxyflurane was administered to unpremedicated dogs in increasing and decreasing cpncentrations while normal pulmonary ventilation was rigidly maintained. Myocardial contractility, blood pressure, pulse rate, electrocardiogram, and electroencephalogram were recorded continuously. A progressive decrease in contractile force of the heart muscle resulted as the inhaled concentration of methoxyflurane increased. A parallel decrease in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure occurred. Sinus bradycardia and an alteration in repolarization of cardiac muscle accompanied the dynamic changes. A lag occurred in recovery of all cardiovascular functions and the EEG following withdrawal of the agent. Burst suppression appeared when hypotension below 90 mm. Hg occurred. A comparison of the results of this study with those previously reported is presented.
