• Park PH

Abstract

This report concerned to our clinical expenence of 22 cases of open heart anesthesia at the Department of Anesthesiology, Capital Armed Forces General hospital during the period between May, 1982 and February, 1984. Among 22 cases male were 20, female were 2 cases. Age was varied from 21 years to 50 years and mean was 25.8 years. Morphine & demerol were used as premedicants in most cases in conjunction with valium or alone, and thiopental in 2.5~6mg/kg dosage as in duction agent for 20 cases. We used halothane for 21 cases, enflurane for 1 case in concentration of 0.3~1%, 0.7~1.5% respectively. Intravenous anesthetic agents, morphine and thalamonal, were used as supplementary to reduce the required dosage of inhalation agents, halothane and enflurane, to maintain the anesthesia. Succinylcholine for intubation of trachea and pancuronium for maintenance of muscle relaxation were used in dosage of 1~1.6mg/kg, 0.1~0.3mg/kg respectively.
