Sevoflurane and desflurane but not propofol preserved left ventricular function after CPB in high-risk coronary surgery patients with less evidence of myocardial damage postoperatively.
Anesthesia significantly reduces the cardiac output response associated with ANH. This could be related to the effects of the anesthetic drugs on the autonomic and the cardiovascular systems.
In cardiac surgery patients with a low preoperative ejection fraction, stroke volume was better maintained with the combination of dobutamine with levosimendan than with the combination of dobutamine with milrinone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
