Methods Digitalis, long-acting vasodilators, and propranolol are discontinued 24-48 hours prior to operation. On the day of the pro-cedure, the patients are premedicated with morphine and atropine. An intra-arterial needle is introduced into the radial artery under local anesthesia and connected to a pressure transducer, permitting immediate recognition of any alterations in systemic pressure. The heart rate and electrocardio-gram are continuously monitored during the procedure and for the next 18 to 24 hours. Any fluctuations in heart rate or blood pressure are treated immediately by the appropriate drugs, as described below. After the intravenous infusion of 25 to 50 mg. of lidocaine, sodium thiopental and succinylcholine are administered, and the patient is intubated. Anesthesia is induced with nitrous oxide and sodium thiopental and maintained with halothane. In our ex-perience it has been easier to deal pharmacologically with the hypotensive effects of these anesthetic agents than with the hy-pertensive actions of ether-like agents. In order to minimize the deleterious circula-tory effects of vagal reflexes that may be induced by manipulation in the area of the carotid sinus bulb, atropine is given intra-venously until heart rate exceeds 75 beats/min. or to a total dose of 1 mg. before dis-section in the neck is begun. A transverse incision 6 cm. in length is made, 5 to 7 cm. below and parallel to the clavicle on the anterior chest wall. A sub-cutaneous pocket just large enough to ac-commodate the receiver is developed beneath the lower flap of the incision. If a thick layer of adipose tissue is present, the
