Preview

This study was undertaken to evaluate the fluctuations of cardiac parameters in a baboon model during pentobarbitone anaesthesia which will serve as a baseline control for shock studies. Thermodilution and radionuclide methods were used to determine cardiac parameters. Radionuclide studies were repeated without any cardiac catheters to assess the effect of these on cardiac performance. The results represent baseline fluctuations in cardiac parameters against which cardiac dysfunction can be diagnosed in shock studies. The results also indicate that cardiac catheterisation does not affect cardiac performance significantly.

Zusammenfassung

Diese Studie wurde unternommen, um Fluktuationen kardialer Parameter in einem Pavian-Modell unter Pentobarbital-Narkose, das als Basiskontrolle für Schockstudien dienen soll, zu bewerten. Thermodilutions- und Radionuklid-Untersuchungen wurden ohne jeglichen Katheter wiederholt, um deren Einfluß auf die Herzfunktion zu beurteilen. Die Ergebnisse repräsentieren Basisfluktuationen der kardialen Parameter, denen gegenüber eine kardiale Dysfunktion unter Schockbedingungen abgegrenzt werden kann. Die Ergebnisse belegen auch, daß Herzkatheter die kardiale Funktion nicht wesentlich beeinflussen.
