Abstract
- To 100 patients who underwent various operations under general anesthesia, Effortil and methoxamine were given in order to assess and to compare their effects on blood pressure and pulse rate. The drugs were administered intravenously in 6 to 10 mg doses when the systolic pressure fell to 80 mmHg. or lower during the operation. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Excellent pressor effect was obtained with Effortil in 84% of 50 patients while in 72% with methoxamine. 2. Both drugs were equally effectve in elevating both systolic and diastolic pressures. 3. The effect of Effortil on pulse rate was much less than that of methoxamine which moderately reduced the pulse rate, especially in the early phase. 4. No untoward effects of either Effortil or methoxamine were observed in this study.
