  • Title: [Anesthetic management of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy].
    Author: Kadoi Y, Koike T, Fujita N.
    Journal: Masui; 1996 Aug; 45(8):1002-4. PubMed ID: 8818100.
    Abstract:
    Using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), we managed the anesthesia for a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam and fentanyl, and vecuronium was used as a muscle relaxant. Anesthesia was maintained with oxygen-nitrous oxide-low concentration isoflurane. After the induction of anesthesia ejection fraction was 20%, but increased to 41% with the administration of dobutamine and amrinone. We conclude that TEE is a useful monitor in anesthetic management of a patient with DCM.
