Effects of anesthetics on splanchnic circulation and metabolism.

In the last 10 years intense interest in "halothane hepatitis" plus simpler and more reliable technology for measuring splanchnic blood flow have led to a fuller understanding of the splanchnic effects of anesthetics. For the first time, a rational choice of anesthetic technique can be made for the patient with splanchnic organ dysfunction.

Hypertension in the immediate postoperative period.

Sixty patients out of 1,844 recovery room admissions had significant postoperative arterial hypertension. Nearly 60% of them had a history of hypertension. The postoperative hypertension usually began within 30 min from the end of operation and lasted about 2 hours. In 20% of the patients it lasted 3 hours or longer. Complications attributable to hypertension were confined to this latter group. The principal factors possibly contributing to the pressure elevations were pain (35%), hypercarbia (15%) and emergence excitement (16%). Ten of the patients (17%) had no demonstrable cause for hypertension. The hypertension in this group appeared to have a shorter and more benign course.
