Popis: This paper presents the analysis of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity in patients undergoing general anesthesia for major surgery, with the goal of evaluating the effects of anesthesia bolus induction with propofol on autonomic control of heart rate (HR) and arterial blood pressure (ABP). The increase in baroreflex gain in the LF band observed through two different methods hints at the fact that the baroreflex may increase heart period (HP) following a transient ABP decrease, but its response displays a larger amplitude, to compensate for the blunting of the sympathetic action on heart rate and vascular resistance.
