| Popis: | SUMMARY Glucagon 50 μ/kg was given intravenously to five children showing evidence of "low output failure" after open heart surgery. The glucagon was injected intravenously, via a tap in an intravenous infusion set, at half hourly intervals. The systolic and diastolic arterial pressures rose on average 32 and 41 per cent and there was a small fall in pulse rate. Therapy was given for periods of 14 to 40 hours. Blood sugar concentrations remained within the usual range found after this form of surgery. There was no clinical evidence of vasoconstriction during glucagon therapy. Glucagon may be useful in the treatment of low output states following cardiac surgery and cardiac arrest. |
