Administration des halogénés pendant la circulation extracorporelle Mise au point Expérience de l'Infirmerie Protestante

Abstract

The use of volatile anesthetics during CPB is still not frequent in France. The use of volatile anesthetics has however some advantages compared with intravenous anesthesia especially in terms of myocardial protection. We reported our experience in 759 patients operated with isoflurane (642) or sevoflurane (117). The volatile anesthetics were used for the maintenance of anesthesia and stabilisation of arterial pressure even during CPB and allowed an early extubation.
