Haemodynamic Effects of Enflurane in Patients with Valvular Heart Disease

In eight patients undergoing cardiac surgery for aortic and/or mitral valvular disease, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), and pulmonary arterial mean pressure (PAMP) were measured after premedication with diazepam‐scopolamine (I), after breathing 100% oxygen (II), and on controlled respiration (111) after induction of anaesthesia with enflurane‐02, and endotracheal intubation facilitated by succinylcholine.
