Why the study?
Does propofol alter left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in newborn swine?
Does propofol alter left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in newborn swine?
Propofol infusion in newborn swine decreases mean arterial pressure but does not significantly alter load-independent indices of left ventricular systolic or diastolic function, suggesting it may be a useful anesthetic in newborns.
