  • (20) Postoperatively, before administration of the analgesic agent, the cardiac output, mean arterial blood pressure, heart work and estimated hepatic blood flow were increased and the total peripheral resistance, splanchnic vascular resistance, arterial oxygen tension and base excess values were decreased.

Viscera


Definition:

  • (n.) pl. of Viscus.
  • (pl. ) of Viscus

Example Sentences:
