[Significance of dopplerography in choice of anesthesia in childhood urology].

Abstract

Central hemodynamics was investigated in 23 children aged 3-12 years operated on the upper urinary tracts. By anesthetic management the patients were divided into two groups: those operated under combined neuroleptanalgesia (group 1, n = 14) and under combined epidural anesthesia (group 2, n = 9). The latter anesthesia provided more reliable defense of the child's organism against surgical stress.
