ARIAS CHAMORRO, B et al. Follow up of heart rate and oxygen partial pressure during oral surgery. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2003, vol.19, n.2, pp.75-80. ISSN 2340-3152.

Measures of heart rate and oxygen partial pressure were made in a group of 29 patients during oral surgery. The aim of the study was to compare data coming from every surgical moment by statistical methods. By using student test for coupled samples the next results were found: 1. - Heart rate increased significantly after anesthesia and went on while separating of the flap. After that, it decreased during osteotomy and didn't show considerable changes during the closing of the wound and the discharging of the patient. At this point , there were not differences compared with the starting momento. 2. - Oxygen partial pressure in blood remained almost constant while the oral surgery and there were not variations that could be Iinked to an specific stage of the ongoing surgery.

Keywords : oral surgery; heart rate; oxygen partial pressure.
