[Changes of heart rate and arterial blood pressure during the surgery of cheilognathopalatoschisis with the local usage of adrenalin]. / Spremembe srcnega utripa in arterijskega pritiska med operacijo heilognatopalatoshiz z lokalno rabo adrenalina.

The authors describe cardiovascular changes and needs for blood transfusion in 70 babies and children who received adrenalin into hard palate (A = 40) POR-8 and (B = 30) adrenalin and were operated due to cheilognathopalatoschisis. The effectiveness between POR-8 and adrenalin are compared and the advantages of adrenalin are described. The infiltration of adrenalin in dosage from 5-10 micrograms/kg increases arterial blood pressure for 30% and puls for 10%. 20% of operated children who have got POR-8 2.5 IU received blood transfusion as well. Children who received adrenalin, did not get transfusion.

[Measurement of adrenalin concentrations in the blood of children after local infiltration before surgical corrections of clefts]. / Merjenje koncentracije adrenalina v krvi otrok pri lokalni apliaciji pred operacijo shize.

Blood concentrations of epinephrine were measured after local infiltration of epinephrine and procaine in children, undergoing surgical corrections of lip and palate clefts. Local anaesthesia was combined with general intravenous anaesthesia. Cardio-circulatory parameters were changing moderately in spite of enormous elevations of epinephrine serum levels. Monitoring of vital signs is obligatory with this combined method.
