Alerts to potential instability with AV nodal rhythm under anesthesia; leaves open effects on outcomes and generalizability.
Does the loss of atrial contribution during atrioventricular nodal rhythm alter systemic and central venous pressures in anesthetized humans?
Loss of atrial systole during atrioventricular nodal rhythm induced by anesthesia leads to decreased arterial pressure and increased central venous pressure due to impaired ventricular filling.
Laver et al. (1963) studied this question.
