Table I.

Mean ± standard deviation cardiovascular variables from 6 anesthetized dogs with 3% end-tidal isoflurane (ETI) to decrease arterial blood pressure (ABP) and cardiac index (CI) and treated for 1 h with 1 mL/kg body weight per min of an isotonic solution while at 3% ETI for the first 45 min and then lowered towards 1.6% ETI for the last 15 min of treatment
