Abstract: | The forearm blood flow changes produced by halothane anaesthesiaafter thiopentone induction were studied in 38 patients usingstrain gauge plethysmography. The effects of endotracheal intubationand surgery, premedication and nitrous oxide were also considered,and for this purpose the patients were allocated at random intofour groups, the factors being successively eliminated untilin the last group only thiopentone-halo-thane remained. It wasfound that thiopentone-halothane anaesthesia decreased the bloodflow to the forearm without any obvious effect from the otherfactors considered. * Present address: Clinica Anglo-Americana, San Isidro, Lima,Peru. |
