Comparison of haemodynamic effects of pethidine and anileridine in anaesthetised patients.

Abstract

Haemodynamic effects of equianalgesic doses of pethidine (1 mk kg -1) and anileridine (0.25 mg kg -1) were compared in patients with coronary artery disease, after induction of anaesthesia with flunitrazepam - N2O - pancuronium. Contrary to previous findings made in conscious patients, these analgesics produced a moderate circulatory depression. Heart rate, cardiac index and rate-pressure product were decreased by both drugs, and anileridine alone decreased mean arterial pressure. The only statistically significant differences in the haemodynamic changes between the two groups were those in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and rate pressure product, which were slightly lower after anileridine than after pethidine.
