[The effect of indomethacin and iloprost on the cardiodepressive actions of various anesthetics on isolated atrial preparations from guinea pigs]. / Einfluss von Indometacin und Iloprost auf die kardiodepressiven Wirkungen verschiedener Narkotika am Vorhof-Aurikel-Präparat des Meerschweinchens.

Effects of Indomethacin and Iloprost on the Cardiodepressant Properties of Various Narcotics on Isolated Auricle Preparations from Guinea Pigs. In isolated auricle preparations from guinea pigs several narcotics (hexobarbital, pentobarbital, ketamine, etomidate, urethane) dose-dependently showed cardiodepressive effects. Premedication of the preparations with indomethacin significantly reduced the narcotics-induced changes of the cardiac action. Iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analogon, had the same efficacy. The influence of both substances could be due to an unspecific membrane effect or a positive inotropic action.
