|
To investigate the cardiovascular effects of vecuronium during isoflurane anesthesia, I compared with effects of pancuronium. Eight mongrel dogs were anesthetized with intravenous thiopental sodium and maintained with oxygen (41/min)-isoflurane (1 MAC). Cardiovascular parameters were determined and recorded 1 minute before and 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes after administration of 3 times the ED, dose of pancuronium and vecuronium respectively. Only one neuromuscular relaxant was studied with each anesthetic administration. The results are as follows; 1) Pancuronium increased heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac output. 2) Vecuronium caused no significant cardiovascular chanaes. |
