Figure 11-28 Hemodynamic changes during cardiac surgery in patients administered with morphine, fentanyl, or sufentanil. Total doses were 4.4 mg/kg, 95.4 µg/kg and 18.9 µg/kg for morphine, fentanyl and sufentanil, respectively. Cardiovascular variables were analyzed before induction (C), and at the time of maximal (MX) and minimal (MN) systolic arterial pressure change after induction (I), insertion of oral airway (OA), insertion of Foley catheter (F), laryngoscopy + endotracheal lidocaine spray (L&S), laryngoscopy + endotracheal intubation (L&T), leg incision (LI), sternal incision (SI), sternal saw (SAW), and sternal spread (SP).
