The haemodynamic changes occurring during induction of neurolept anaesthesia and intubation in patients with reduced cardiac reserve were compared with the haemodynamic changes observed prior to operation during the stress of moderate physical exercise in the same patients. Anaesthesia consisted of droperidolum NFN (Dehydrobenzperidol®), fentanyli citras NFN (Haldid®) and nitrous oxide‐oxygen with suxamethonium for intubation. The haemodynamic parameters measured were mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery mean pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and cardiac output. Blood volume was also measured, as were arterial blood‐gas tensions and pH. The haemodynamic changes observed during induction with intubation were significantly smaller than those observed preoperatively during exercise.
