The cardiorespiratory effects of raising patients from the supine to the sitting position for neurosurgery were investigated. The change caused marked decreases in cardiac index, stroke volume, PaO2 and Qs/Qt, with a significant increase in (PAO2-PaO2) and total peripheral resistance. It is concluded that patients who maintain normotension in the sitting position do not necessarily have an adequate circulatory status.
