| Abstract | The hemodynamic changes after discontinuation of propofol infusion were investigated following the cardiac surgery. Ten patients who had undergone cardiac surgery using propofol were studied. Changes in blood pressure and heart rate were observed in the hemodynamic records in the ICU retrospectively. An increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after discontinuation of propofol was observed in all patients. Percent increase in systolic blood pressure was 56.0±25.6% (mean±SD). Changes in heart rate were not uniform, increased or decreased. Anesthetists have to be aware of an increase in blood pressure when they stop infusion of propofol after cardiac surgery. |
