Abstract
One hundred fifty-one patients aged 70-89 years underwent a variety of open heart surgical procedures during a period of 1 year. We divided these patients into two groups: Group A was comprised of 127 patients between 70 and 79 years of age. In group B, 24 patients were between 80 and 89 years of age. These patients underwent elective open heart surgery. Information was retrieved retrospectively from the computerized data pool of the cardiothoracic registry in our institution. Statistical analysis in these two groups revealed no significant differences in any of the evaluated factors. We concluded that age should not be a contraindication for cardiac operations.

Abstract
A multiple-center study was performed to determine the relationship between lower esophageal contractility, clinical signs, and anesthetic concentration as expressed by minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). One hundred four American Society of Anesthesiologists Class I through III patients were exposed to isoflurane (with and without nitrous oxide) or halothane in concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 MAC. Heart rate and systolic blood pressure were continuously monitored. Both the amplitude and frequency of spontaneous and provoked lower esophageal contractions were measured in situ by using a 24-F probe equipped with provoking and measuring balloons. Combined results demonstrated statistically significant correlations (P less than 0.001) between lower esophageal contractility and MAC. Spontaneous lower esophageal contractions decreased from 1.10 +/- 0.12 (SEM) contractions per minute (0.5 MAC) to 0.42 +/- 0.05 (1 MAC) to 0.18 +/- 0.05 (1.5 MAC). Provoked lower esophageal contractility values decreased from 45 +/- 4 mm Hg (0.5 MAC) to 29 +/- 3 (1 MAC) to 19 +/- 2 (1.5 MAC). Heart rate changes did not correlate with MAC, and systolic blood pressure correlated in only one of three centers. Intracenter and intercenter analyses failed to demonstrate a significant relationship between lower esophageal contractility and heart rate or systolic blood pressure. No intracenter differences in either amplitude or frequency of lower esophageal contractions were observed, despite differences in volatile agents, induction techniques and agents, patient populations, and durations of anesthesia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
beta-blockade can result in extreme bradycardia, significant conduction problems, bronchospasm, or left ventricular dysfunction. For this reason, the use of long-acting beta-blockers is of limited value in the perioperative period. Esmolol, due to its ultrashort action and cardioselective properties, has been shown to be safe and effective for use in treatment of tachycardia and hypertension. Doses of up to 300 microg/kg/min for up to seven hours have been used with a return to baseline parameters within 30 minutes of discontinuation of the infusion. It can also be safely used in treatment of the asthmatic patient with tachycardia or hypertension with no clinically significant increases in airway resistance. Studies using esmolol during general anesthesia have also demonstrated that it appears to have no significant interaction with various anesthetic agents.

Abstract
Intravenous diltiazem can be used to treat myocardial ischemia, hypertension, and supraventricular dysrhythmias, but significant adverse effects including atrioventricular block and hypotension have been reported. At the present time, there is controversy as to which drug is most effective in reversing these sequelae. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of calcium chloride v epinephrine in reversing these side effects. The hemodynamic and electrophysiologic effects of diltiazem infusion were investigated in eight dogs anesthetized with fentanyl and nitrous oxide/oxygen. This study confirmed that diltiazem infusions in high concentrations produced predominantly atrioventricular conduction depression followed by profound hypotension. Epinephrine infusion proved to be most effective in attenuating and eliminating each of these deleterious side effects. In contrast, calcium chloride did not significantly increase heart rate or blood pressure or reverse atrioventricular block. In two instances calcium chloride produced further depression of atrioventricular conduction, leading to severe bradycardia and sinus arrest. Although calcium chloride increased left ventricular contractile force (LV dP/ dt) and cardiac index (CI), mean arterial pressure was not affected and SVR was further decreased. This study indicates that calcium chloride should not be given to reverse the side effects of diltiazem in the presence of atrioventricular conduction block or profound hypotension. Calcium chloride is indicated only when isolated myocardial depression is present and after the calcium channels have been reopened by epinephrine.

Abstract
Sympathomimetic drugs are commonly used in many circumstances to increase cardiac output, blood pressure, and myocardial contractility. However, factors such as acidosis or alkalosis are known to influence the action of these drugs. This study looked at the response to the administration of epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, dobutamine, isoproterenol, and glucagon at normal pH and under acidotic (pH 7.2 +/- 0.01) and alkalotic (pH 7.59 +/- 0.01) conditions in 17 dogs. Acidosis was produced with an infusion of hydrochloric acid and alkalosis by infusion of sodium bicarbonate. The infusions were given over one hour followed by a 15- to 30-minute stabilization period. With the administration of each sympathomimetic drug at each pH level, hemodynamic parameters and measurements of myocardia; contractility were recorded. Epinephrine increased cardiac output at normal pH, but decreased cardiac output under conditions of both acidosis and alkalosis; the net change from values at pH 7.40 was nearly 3 L/min. The only other drug to demonstrate this reversal of cardiac output, though to a lesser degree, was dopamine, 10 microg/kg/min, and only in the alkalotic state. Dobutamine was the only drug that decreased contractility under acidotic conditions, while all other drugs caused an increase. In sum, epinephrine was the only drug markedly affected by metabolic acidosis and alkalosis. Isoproterenol's hemodynamic effects were altered the least by changes in acid-base balance. Alkalosis had an equally adverse effect on the cardiovascular system as compared with acidosis.

Abstract
The safety and efficacy of propofol, a new intravenous anesthetic agent, have been demonstrated in healthy patients. Twenty-one patients, ASA III-IV, undergoing elective myocardial revascularization, were randomly chosen to receive either propofol, 2.5 mg/kg, or thiamylal, 4 mg/kg. for the induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamics were recorded at one and three minutes after drug administration during spontaneous respiration. After the addition of halothane and pancuronium with controlled ventilation, measurements were made immediately prior to and one minute after intubation. Five patients were dropped from the study, four due to airway problems and one due to severe hypotension following an induction dose of propofol. Statistics were done using data from the remaining 16 patients, eight in each group. Administration of propofol resulted in significant decreases in mean arterial pressure (MAP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI); as well as an increase in heart rate (HR). These changes were further accentuated by the addition of halothane and pancuronium prior to intubation. Patients in the thiamylal group experienced no significant hemodynamic changes until halothane and pancuronium were added and controlled ventilation was instituted. With these additions, the thiamylal group showed significant decreases in MAP and LVSWI immediately prior to intubation. Both groups experienced significant increases in HR following intubation, but no evidence of myocardial ischemia was seen in either group. All other parameters returned toward control values. Propofol appeared to be safe and effective for the induction of anesthesia in this group of patients, although its hemodynamic effects were greater than those of thiamylal.

Abstract
The haemodynamic effects of diltiazem were studied in six dogs during fentanyl-nitrous oxide (in oxygen) anaesthesia. A bolus of diltiazem 300 micrograms kg-1 was given, followed by infusions at 30, 60 and 90 micrograms kg-1 min-1 which produced plasma diltiazem concentrations of 392 +/- 30, 908 +/- 54 and 1483 +/- 134 ng ml-1, respectively. Diltiazem significantly reduced systemic vascular resistance index, mean arterial pressure, heart rate and PR interval. The decrease in afterload increased cardiac index, since there was little change in myocardial contractility (LV dP/dt). Five dogs developed second degree atrioventricular (AV) block in association with the highest dose. Administration of calcium chloride 20 mg kg-1 did not reverse the haemodynamic or electrophysiological effects of diltiazem. Isoprenaline increased heart rate and restored sinus rhythm in four dogs with AV block.

Abstract
The effects of 10 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP10), 10 cm H2O continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP10), and their combination (CPAP10/PEEP10) on oxygenation and hemodynamics were studied in 20 patients undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV) with 50% nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and oxygen. Compared to OLV alone, CPAP10 and CPAP10/PEEP10 significantly increased PaO2 (from 80 +/- 6 to 125 +/- 11 and 137 +/- 17 mmHg, respectively); increased SaO2 (from 93.9 +/- 0.8 to 97.1 +/- 0.5 and 97.0 +/- 0.6%, respectively); and decreased Qs/Qt% (from 36.4 +/- 1.6 to 26.2 +/- 2.0 and 23.2 +/- 2.0%, respectively). Although not statistically significant, PEEP10 caused an increase in PaO2 (to 105 +/- 12 mmHg) and a decrease in Qs/Qt% (to 27.6 +/- 2.1%), which are of clinical significance. However, CPAP10/PEEP10 caused a significant decrease in cardiac output (from 4.50 +/- 0.26 to 3.83 +/- 0.22 L/min), stroke volume (58.6 +/- 3.0 to 52.8 +/- 2.9 mL/beat), and oxygen delivery (653 +/- 39 to 590 +/- 38 mL/min). Application of CPAP10, PEEP10 or their combination had no significant effect on heart rate, arterial, pulmonary arterial, mean pulmonary capillary wedge or central venous pressures, systemic or pulmonary vascular resistances, or mixed venous oxygen saturation. Overall, CPAP10 had the most beneficial effect on oxygenation and hemodynamics during OLV with 50% N2O, isoflurane and oxygen.

Abstract
Intraoperative two-dimensional echocardiography (2D-echo) is useful for monitoring global and regional left ventricular function. The 2D-echo view most frequently utilized during intraoperative monitoring is the short-axis view at the level of the papillary muscles. To determine whether hemodynamic data can be derived from this single 2D-echo short-axis view, 12 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were studied. All patients had normal left-ventricular function preoperatively (ejection fraction = 64% +/- 12%). Echo-data were obtained before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by epicardial placement of a 5 MHz echo-transducer. The correlation between thermodilution and echo-derived cardiac indices was good (r = 0.8), and not significantly different from the correlation between stroke indices (r = 0.68). A strong positive correlation was established between end-diastolic volume index and echo cardiac index (CIE) (r = 0.93 before CPB; r = 0.91 after CPB) and end-diastolic area index and CIE (r = 0.94 before CPB; r = 0.91 after CPB). The pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was not a determinant of cardiac index before or after cardiopulmonary bypass. No correlation was observed between systemic vascular resistance and echo-derived wall stress. These findings demonstrate that, in patients with good left-ventricular function undergoing CABG surgery, 2D-echo provides a better index of left-ventricular preload than conventional invasive hemodynamic monitoring.

Abstract
Sinus tachycardia is a common complication of beta-adrenergic agonist therapy. A new selective bradycardic agent, N-allyl-clonidine, or alinidine, has been found effective against sinus tachycardia caused by a variety of stimuli. To determine whether it would also control catecholamine-induced sinus tachycardia, the effects of alinidine in two groups of anesthetized dogs treated with either dobutamine, 10 microg/ kg/min, or isoproterenol, 0.1 microg/kg/min, were studied. In both groups, alinidine significantly reduced the heart rate (P < .0001 in the dobutamine group, and P < .005 in the isoproterenol-infused dogs). The other hemodynamic effects of dobutamine were not adversely affected by alinidine, while the isoproterenol-infused dogs had a further afterload reduction when treated with alinidine. It is concluded that alinidine is effective against catecholamine-induced sinus tachycardia, possibly through mechanisms not related to beta-adrenergic receptors.

Abstract
Computerised ST segment analysis was used to compare the frequency of ischaemia occurring in electrocardiographic leads II, V5, CS5 and CB5. Three out of 15 patients with ischaemic heart disease developed ischaemic changes, which were evident in all four leads in each patient. A single bipolar lead may be substituted for a true V5 lead when monitoring patients at increased risk of developing myocardial ischaemia. ST segment analysis facilitates the early diagnosis of peri-operative myocardial ischaemia, which may otherwise be missed on the standard electrocardiogram.

Abstract
The effects of shivering on hemodynamics and systemic oxygenation, as well as the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in decreasing shivering and increasing mixed venous oxygen saturation, were studied. Thirty adult patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with systemic hypothermia were observed for 1 1/2 to 5 hours postoperatively for signs of shivering associated with a simultaneous decrease in oxygen transport. Systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic measurements were made, blood temperature and mixed venous oxygen saturation were monitored via the pulmonary arterial catheter, and oxygen consumption and delivery were calculated. Shivering was graded by a single investigator on scale of 0 to 4, with 0 = no shivering and 4 = continuous violent muscle activity. Therapy was instituted when shivering reached grade 4 or when SvO2 decreased to less than two thirds of its value on arrival in the intensive care unit (ICU). Patients were randomly assigned to receive either morphine sulfate, 5 to 10 mg, or meperidine, 25 to 50 mg intravenously (IV), followed by the other narcotic if the initial drug failed to improve SvO2 or decrease shivering within ten minutes. The end-point for successful treatment was a return of SvO2 to within 5% to 10% of its value upon arrival in the ICU or a cessation of shivering that did not recur within 45 minutes. Twenty of the thirty patients shivered sufficiently to decrease SvO2 by more than one third of its initial value, thus requiring pharmacologic therapy. As shivering increased from a score of 0.8 +/- 1.1 to 3.4 +/- 0.9, SvO2 decreased from 74 +/- 6% to 57 +/- 12%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The pulse oximeter continuously and non-invasively measures arterial saturation. The objective of the current study was to assess the value of this monitor during thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation. A total of 108 pulse oximeter saturation readings (SaO2[O]) were compared with PaO2 and calculated saturation (SaO2[C]) values. Hypoxia (PaO2 less than 70 mmHg) always resulted in a SaO2 (O) value below 95%. For the detection of hypoxia, the pulse oximeter had a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 91% and a predictability of 70%. The correlation between SaO2(C) and SaO2(O) was good (r = 0.895). In the samples with a PaO2 below 100 mmHg the correlation between SaO2(C) and SaO2(O) was significantly better when the temperature was at least 36 degrees C (r = 0.956 vs. r = 0.706; p less than 0.005) or when the cardiac index was greater than 2.5 l/min/m2 (r = 0.896 vs r = 0.417; p less than 0.01).
