Abstract
- During the past three years, in 1,607 selected general anesthetic cases, the authors have observed the influence of various drugs used in anesthesia and the patient's physical status upon the blood pressure during and immediately following endotracheal intubation. The results are as follows: 1) Blood pressure was higher during and for a period of 10 minutes after intubation than the control. 2) In the cases premedicated with Demerol and atropine intubation. Following intubation, however, blood pressure halothane anesthesia. 3) In patients with poor physical status, blood pressure more following intubation when either halothane or ether was employed. 4) Patients with poor physical status seemed to tolerate, considering the blood pressure change, ether better than holothane anesthesia.5) In the beginning of induction, blood pressure tended to fall less with gallamine than with succinylcholine chloride.
