Key result
Deliberate intra-abdominal stimulation during steady-state ether anesthesia produced hypotensive episodes in 8 of 38 patients (21.1%), driven by decreased cardiac output.

Unpredictable hypotension from intra-abdominal stimulation under ether anesthesia warrants vigilant monitoring; leaves open distinct circulatory mechanisms for study.

Does deliberate intra-abdominal stimulation affect circulatory responses in patients under ether anesthesia?
Intra-abdominal manipulation during ether anesthesia can unpredictably cause hypotensive episodes driven by decreased cardiac output and pulse rate.
Vandam et al. (1962) conducted an observational in Patients under ether anesthesia (n=38). Deliberate intra-abdominal stimulation was evaluated on Hypotensive episodes. Deliberate intra-abdominal stimulation during steady-state ether anesthesia produced hypotensive episodes in 8 of 38 patients (21.1%), driven by decreased cardiac output.
