Clinical Observation of Changing Rulse Rate during Induction of Pediatric General Anesthesia with Halothane and Nitrous Oxide / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

The author observed pulse rate change in various conditions of halothanenitrous oxide general anesthesia i.e. before premedication, before anesthesis, after intubation and before operation in 200 anesthetic cases of children aging from birth to 16 years old at department of anesthesia of K.U.H. since last 3 years. The following results were obtained, 1. It revealed increased pulse rate after premedication than before and particularly, group A was more remarkable in all groups. 2. It revealed slight decreased pulse rate after intubation. 3. It revealed decreased pulse rate at surgical stage of anesthesia, but pulse rate was increased comparing with before premedication in all groups. 4. The younger, the more variable pulse rate were obtained from ward by administering of drugs or anesthesia in all groups.
