Abstract
The cardiac output and O consumption of 9 surgical patients were measured by the ethyl iodide method before and after operation. Preliminary tests showed that ether vapor does not affect the accuracy of the chemical method for the analysis of ethyl iodide vapor, and that the solubility of ethyl iodide in the blood of patients anesthetised with ether is essentially unaffected. The average cardiac output in the period of recovery from ether anesthesia was decreased by 41% of the basal preoperative level. The changes in O consumption were occasionally large but not consistent.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
