Effects of isoflurane-nitrous oxide and halothane-nitrous oxide anaesthesia on myocardial contractility assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography (1994)

KIKURA, M., IKEDA, K.

In order to evaluate the direct effect of isoflurane-nitrous oxide and halothane-nitrous oxide anaesthesia on cardiac contractility in 20 adults, we have used a method based on left ventricular...
