Effects of minor surgery and endotracheal intubation on postoperative breathing patterns in patients anaesthetized with isoflurane or sevoflurane.

abstract：:Blood samples were obtained from a radial artery cannula in a 60-yr-old man during coronary artery surgery. Serum potassium concentrations of 9.3, 8.4, and 7.4 mmol litre(-1) were obtained. A simultaneous venous blood sample gave a serum potassium concentration of 4.4 mmol litre(-1). The ECG was unchanged. After the a...
