Influence of blood-taking procedure on the heart function of blood donors.

The systolic time intervals and heart rate were studied in 11 blood-donors aged between 20 and 48 years by a non-invasive technique before and after the usual blood-taking procedure. No statistically significant difference was found between values determined before and after the procedure. A significant correlation (r = 0.76) was demonstrated between percent changes of pre-ejection period/left ventricular ejection time (PEP/LVET)-ratio and withdrawn volume of blood (450 ml) X time (min)-1 X bodyweight (kg)-1. No correlation was found between percent changes of PEP/LVET-ratio and withdrawn volume of blood X time-1, nor between percent changes of PEP/LVET-ratio and withdrawn volume of blood X percentage of circulatory volume removed-1. It is suggested that the blood-taking time (in minutes) should not be shorter than the quotient: donated volume of blood (ml) X bodyweight (kg)-1 if a negative influence of withdrawal procedure on left ventricular function is to be avoided. Mechanisms contributing to circulatory stability during reduction of blood volume are briefly discussed.

Muscle tone under fentanyl-nitrous oxide anaesthesia measured with a transducer apparatus in cholecystecomy incisions.

Fentanyl is a strong, synthetic analgesic which may cause muscular rigidity when administered intravenously. To obtain a quantitative measure of the possible increase in muscle tone after intravenous fentanyl, the muscular tension of the right rectus abdominis was measured in 20 patients before and after administration of this drug. A traction transducer apparatus was fastened between the anterior and posterior rectus sheath in a right oblique laparotomy incision. Premedication was with pentobarbitone, and the anaesthesia and muscle relaxation were effected by thiopentone or enibomal and nitrous oxide-oxygen with 75% nitrous oxide, and suxamethonium infusion (0.2%) until the measurement of tension was started. Immediately after the action of suxamethonium had ceased, fentanyl, about 0.004 mg/kg body weight, was administered. An increase in tone was found in 15 cases (75%). The mean increase was 9.2 N. The influence of the anaesthesia upon the result is discussed, and it is concluded that fentanyl must be responsible for the increase in muscle tone.

The effect of the short-acting barbiturate enibomal (Narcodorm) on systolic time intervals.

The systolic time intervals were studied in 16 surgical patients without heart disease between 29 and 75 years of age by a non-invasive technique before and after an induction dose of enibomal (Narcodorm). The pre-injection period/left ventricular ejection time-ratio (PEP/LVET-ratio) increased between 8 and 60% and (1/PEP-2) decreased between 3 and 50%, indicating a reduction of myocardial contractility under the influence of enibomal. Factors responsible for circulatory depression during barbiturate anaesthesia are discussed.

Influence of glucagon on systolic time intervals during induction of anaesthesia with barbiturate.

The systolic time intervals and calculated parameters of PEP/LVET (pre-injection period/left ventricular ejection time-ratio) and 1/PEP2 before and after induction of anaesthesia with the barbiturate enibomal (Narcodorm) were studied noninvasively in eight surgical patients after pre-treatment with a bolus dose of glucagon. The mean difference between the PEP/LVET-ratio before and after induction was 0.06, and the mean difference between 1/PEP2 before and after induction was -8. The corresponding values in the control group consisting of 12 patients were 0.09 and -28, respectively, suggesting a somewhat greater depression of cardiac function in this group. However, no statistically significant difference at the 5% level was found between changes in the glucagon group and controls. The influence of barbiturates and glucagon on cardiac function is discussed.
