[Hemodynamics and function of the myocardium during xenon anesthesia]

Hemodynamics and phase structure of the cardiac cycle have been studied, using a technical complex "KO phi OOC", on 12 anesthesiologists volunteers during various stages of Xe anesthesia (70:30). During 30 min anesthesia Xe formed conditions for normalization of hemodynamic changes caused by emotional stress, had no depressive effect on the myocardium, failed to affect considerably vascular tone and myocardial phase structure. Due to its narcotic effect Xe changed variability of the cardiac rhythm.
