title: [Heart rhythm variability as a criterion for selecting anesthesia for maxillofacial surgical procedures in children].
abstract: The aim of this study was to improve the quality of anesthesia for maxillofacial operations in children. The authors suggest the criteria of its adequacy, based on analysis of heart rhythm variability. The most informative characteristics of heart rhythm structure were detected on the basis of the results of examinations of 100 children aged 5 months to 16 years. The data indicate that in children subjected to maxillofacial surgery the most hazardous (as regards the risk of arrhythmia) anesthesia is mask narcosis with fluothane; the optimal narcosis is endotracheal and intravenous.
