pubmed-article:8623996 | pubmed:abstractText | Rapid increases in the inspired concentration of desflurane have been associated with sympathetic activation, tachycardia, hypertension, and in select cases, myocardial ischemia. The current study examined the effects of the rate of change of the desflurane concentration on the sympathetic and hemodynamic responses to desflurane and sought to determine whether a finite concentration (end-tidal) of desflurane consistently initiated these responses. | lld:pubmed |
