Abstract
Summary
Dogs, digitalized to cardiac toxicity will ouabaine (0.07 or 0.08 mg/kg) or with digitoxin 0.3 mg/kg) were anesthetized with cyclopropane, ether and thiopental sodium.
Cyclopropane improved or abolished the arrhythmias produced by digitalis preparations. Ether caused a reversion to normal rhythm. Thiopental sodium exerted no effect upon the electrocardiographic abnormalities of over-digitalized dogs.
