“…Cardiac output decreased by a mean of 0.5 L after manual hyperinflation, which in an animal with a mean cardiac output of 3.5 L would be clinically significant. The effects of increased intrathoracic pressure in an intubated patient have been described previously in a large study (Blackburn et al, 1973). Initially there is a compression of vessels in the pulmonary system, providing increased blood flow to the left ventricle, increasing its preload and therefore the stroke volume.…”

“…The parameters were noted every minute for 5 min and a final recording was made a t the tenth minute. Each measurement period consisted of ten consecutive cardiac systoles recorded during an apnoeic phase (obtained by manually switching a respiratory valve), in order to reduce the variations of systolic time intervals due to intermittent positive-pressure breathing (BLACKBURN et al 1973).…”

“…There are, however, two methods of inducing hypotension in which cardiac output may decline considerably in response to IPPV, as a result of temporary autonomic paralysis. Both ganglion blocking drugs and beta adrenoceptor antagonists may partially or completely block the Valsalva response [3], thus limiting the normal compensatory mechanism.…”
