Cardio-circulatory effects of enflurane anesthesia in health and disease.
The circulatory effects of enflurane (Ethrane) were studied in 10 unmedicated volunteers during anesthesia over a period of 90 min or more. Cardiac output did not change significantly at a mean alveolar concentration of 2.3 vol.%. Heart rate was increased in all cases. Enflurane causes negative inotropic activity in the heart muscle but has little influence on the pump performance of the heart.
