- Abstract
In a prospective study right atrial pressures and parameters of blood coagulation were monitored during anaesthesia and postoperatively in 60 surgical patients. 30 patients received spinal anaesthesia. 30 patients were intubated for general anaesthesia. One third of the patients in each group were injected with heparindihydroergotamine s.c., another third was infused with dextran 6% 500 ml, the remainder received no medication. Following dihydroergotamine s.c., right atrial pressures were increased, due to raised venous vascular tonicity and augmented venous return, which causes enddiastolic ventricular volume to rise. Dextran 500 ml had the same effect in right atrial pressures.
