This study was designed to investigate the influence of bilateral stellate ganglion block (SGB) on hemodynamics in 15 mongrel dogs. Following general anesthesia, each dog received SGB with 1.5% mepivacaine. Cardiovascular effect of bilateral SGB was assessed by measuring mean artery pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), right atrial pressure (RAP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and common carotid arterial blood flow (CCAF). These were measured directly by a Swan-Ganz catheter and ultrasonic blood flow meter, during the first 15 minutes after SGB. A decrease of MAP and HR was observed after bilateral SGB. CO decreased for 13% compared with the control value. However, this change was not statistically significant. There was a significant increase in the bilateral CCAF, but the degree of the increase of CCAF was greater after unilateral SGB than after the bilateral SGB.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008619	Mepivacaine	A local anesthetic that is chemically related to BUPIVACAINE but pharmacologically related to LIDOCAINE. It is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, and epidural anesthesia. Mepivacaine is effective topically only in large doses and therefore should not be used by this route.

D006439	Hemodynamics	The movement and the forces involved in the movement of the blood through the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.	Hemodynamic
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
