title: [Effect of the intravenous administration of lormetazepam on hemodynamics and arterial blood gases in patients with coronary heart disease].
abstract: In 11 conscious patients suffering from coronary artery disease undergoing aorto-coronary bypass operations the hemodynamic and respiratory effects of Lormetazepam were investigated preoperatively. Lormetazepam was administered i.v. in a dosis of 2 mg (average weight 70.4 +/- 5.7 kg) into the right atrium. The maximum of hemodynamic changes was found about 10 min after injection. At that time the mean arterial pressure was diminished about 14%. At the same time total peripheral resistance fell about 15% below the control level. The cardiac index remained unchanged. The hemodynamic effect therefore consisted in a peripheral vasodilation. This was emphasized by the reduction of right atrial pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. The heart rate was unchanged. The arterial pO2 was reduced to 18% below the control level. The arterial pCO2 was increased about 24%. This finding is possibly due to an additional effect of Morphine and Phenobarbital used for premedication.
