Abstract:Background: A thoracic sympathicotomy with cauterization has been reported to decrease cardiac sympathetic activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate immediate changes in autonomic function after thoracic sympathicotomy by clipping.Methods: Autonomic function test such as heart rate response to deep breathing (HRDB), Valsalva ratio (VR), 30/15 ratio and systolic blood pressure change response to standing (△SBP) were measured before (baseline) and 2 hr after the T3-4 sympathicotomy by clipping in 12… Show more
“…This activity is greater in women with Anesth Pain Med Vol. 14 gestational hypertension. Unlike sympathetic activity, women experiencing normal pregnancy experience lower levels of peripheral vascular resistance than those who are not pregnant.…”

“…Sympathetic functions were evaluated by observing DBP changes during a hand grip test and SBP changes after standing up. Tests were performed in order to observe HR changes during deep breathing, DBP changes during a handgrip test, and HR and blood pressure changes after standing up [14,15].…”

“…Parasympathetic functions were evaluated by testing HR changes while taking a deep breath and after standing up. The Valsalva maneuver was not performed to avoid fetal hypoxia [14,15]. Patients rested for 10 min in a supine position between tests.…”
Spinal anesthesia is the standard anesthetic technique for performing Cesarean sections (C-section) to prevent complications related to airway management during general anesthesia, such as intubation failure or respiratory aspiration KSOA

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.
