In ten patients dopamine was used for counteracting low cardiac output during and after operations performed with aid of extracorporeal circulation. The changes of arterial and venous pressure, heart rate and one-hour diuresis were measured. In 8 cases the results of treatment were good. Particularly striking was the improvement of diuresis and lowering of the central venous pressure. The authors regard dopamine as a very effective inotropic agent.

Changes in the phases of left ventricular contraction during induction of general anaesthesia.

By means of polycardiographic tracings the authors assessed the effects of althesin, ketamine and fentanyl on the dynamics of left ventricular contraction when these agents were applied for induction of anaesthesia. A depressing action of althesin was found while fentanyl and ketamine were without effect on the dynamics of left ventricular contraction. Polycardiographic tracings are a useful method for the assessment of the action of pharmacological agents on the cardiovascular system during operations.
