| Popis: | We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of 7 mg/kg intravenous calcium chloride (CaCl2) or placebo in 20 adults with regurgitant aortic and/or mitral valves before and after induction of anesthesia with fentanyl (50 micrograms/kg), followed by pancuronium (0.1 mg/kg) and 100% oxygen. CaCl2 produced no changes in mean systemic, pulmonary arterial, central venous, or pulmonary capillary wedge pressures or vascular resistances before or after induction of anesthesia. A significant increase in left ventricular stroke work index was seen 1 min after CaCl2 was administered after induction of anesthesia (from 31.29 +/- 3.00 to 37.44 +/- 3.81 g X m X M-2). Before induction, CaCl2 decreased heart rate from 93.9 +/- 9.6 to 85.2 +/- 8.7 beats/min (statistically significant 2.5 and 10 min after CaCl2) and after induction from 104.6 +/- 8.4 to 89.3 +/- 7.5 (significant at 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 min). These results suggest that CaCl2 is associated with an immediate increase in ventricular performance and that the subsequent decrease in heart rate is not sufficient to contraindicate use of CaCl2 as an inotrope in patients with chronic valvular regurgitation. The effects of CaCl2 injection in man on pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) have not been described previously. We found no change in Qs/Qt, suggesting that CaCl2 has no direct effect on distribution of pulmonary blood flow. |
