[Effect of ethrane on the circulatory parameters of geriatric patients (author's transl)]. 1975

G Haldemann, and E Schmid, and P Frey, and G Hossli, and H Schaer

The cardiovascular effects of enflurane in geriatric patients have been compared with the effects of this anaesthetic agent in a group of young patients. The degree of cardiovascular depression in geriatric patients was much greater than in the young patients despite the smaller inspired concentration of enflurane necessary to produce a similar depth of anaesthesia. In comparison with halothane and neuroleptanaesthesia, enflurane produced the greatest decrease in cardiac output. The mean arterial pressure, however, was quite well maintained due to a simultaneous increase in total peripheral resistance.

D011292 Premedication Preliminary administration of a drug preceding a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure. The commonest types of premedication are antibiotics (ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS) and anti-anxiety agents. It does not include PREANESTHETIC MEDICATION. Premedications

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D004737 Enflurane An extremely stable inhalation anesthetic that allows rapid adjustments of anesthesia depth with little change in pulse or respiratory rate. Alyrane,Enfran,Enlirane,Ethrane,Etran

D006221 Halothane A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
