Abstract

1. The effects of chloralose-urethane and sodium pentobarbitone anaesthesia on heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output were studied in normal rabbits, in animals given atropine and in animals without functioning autonomic effectors. The findings under anaesthesia were compared during spontaneous and artificial intermittent positive pressure respiration.2. The circulatory effects of chloralose-urethane and sodium pentobarbitone anaesthesia differed significantly for the first hour after induction of anaesthesia. During the subsequent 3 hr of maintained anaesthesia differences in the circulatory effects of the two anaesthetics were small.3. The direct local effects of these anaesthetics were assessed during the maintenance phase from the responses of animals without functioning autonomic effectors. With both anaesthetics there was peripheral vasodilatation and minimal effects on heart rate.4. The autonomic activity in the normal animal was assessed by comparing the changes in normal, atropinized and ;de-efferented' rabbits without functioning autonomic effectors. During chloralose-urethane anaesthesia there was reduction in cardiac vagal efferent activity and no change in cardiac sympatho-adrenal activity. With both anaesth...Continue Reading
