Table 1. Preoperative Respiratory Evaluation and Intraoperative Hemodynamic and Pulmonary Data for the Lidocaine and Albuterol Study Phases
Pulmonary resistances (RL), performed after intubation, are presented for pre- and postisoflurane measurements. For preisoflurane measurements, data include the initial RLand the greater of the two measurements obtained before isoflurane (max RL). Values are presented as mean (SD) or number (% of total). For lower pulmonary resistance, the median range are presented below.
P < 0.01 compared with preisoflurane data.
FEV1= fractional expiratory volume in 1s; HR = heart rate; MBP = mean blood pressure; postintubation RL= measured airway resistance (RL) immediately after intubation and before administration of isoflurane (Forane); Postisoflurane RL= measured airway resistance after administration of isoflurane.
