[Effect of different types of anesthesia on hemodynamics and certain indicators of metabolism in obesity].

The authors have studied the response of the cardiovascular system and kinetics of some indices of fat and carbohydrate metabolism during the operation under different kinds of anesthesia in 175 patients with obesity. A comparative estimation of local anesthesia and narcosis with ether, fluothane, ntirogen monoxide during operative procedures in obese patients is given. It is believed that in patients with obesity for short-time operative procedures it is rational to use fluothane-nitrogen monoxide-oxygen anesthesia.
