متن کاملCardioventilatory coupling during anaesthesia.
In 20 spontaneously breathing patients undergoing minor surgical procedures under general anaesthesia, we examined the timing relationship of heart best and ventilation. Patients received propofol 2-2.5 mg kg-1 and fentanyl 1 microgram kg-1 and breathed a mixture of 1-1.5% isoflurane and 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen. We recorded ECG R wave times and the start of each inspiration. We observed tha...
