The adequacy and safety of low epidural anesthesia in urological operations on patients with concomitant ischemic heart disease

An electrocardiographic evaluation of the functional state of the myocardium in patients operated upon for urological diseases under conditions of low epidural anesthesia has shown that in the absence of a cardiovascular pathology the method of anesthesia fails to exert a substantial influence on th...

Description
Summary:	An electrocardiographic evaluation of the functional state of the myocardium in patients operated upon for urological diseases under conditions of low epidural anesthesia has shown that in the absence of a cardiovascular pathology the method of anesthesia fails to exert a substantial influence on the circulation homeokinesis and functional state of the myocardium. The following use of the low epidural anesthesia in 105 patients with a coexistent ischemic heart disease during urological operative interventions results in two times less amount of cardiovascular complications, lethality and duration of the postoperative period.
