Effectiveness of bupropion as an aid to stopping smoking before elective surgery: a randomised controlled trial.

abstract：:The hypothesis that anaesthetic uptake during maintenance of anaesthesia is related to cardiac output was tested on 21 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Using a computer-controlled closed breathing system, enflurane was administered to maintain an end-expired concentration of 1%. Cardiac output was measured by ther...
