    Abstract : A total of 49 patients were studied, using invasive hemodynamic techniques with systemic arterial, pulmonary artery and right atrial pressure recordings together with thermodilution cardiac output determinations. Sixteen of the patients were also subjected to cardiometabolic studies, using measurement of coronary sinus blood flow by the continuous thermodilution technique and analyses of oxygen content and lactate concentration in the systemic and coronary circulation.

    Abstract : Paediatric regional anaesthesia has gained widespread popularity during recent years because of an excellent potential for intra- and postoperative pain relief and reduction of the surgically induced stress response. The aim of the present thesis was to adapt and develop the technique of paravertebral blockade (PVB) for the safe use in paediatric patients and also to investigate aspects on plasma protein binding and toxicity of local anaesthetic drugs which might be of importance in the special settings of paediatric anaesthesia.
