This study was about total intravenous anesthesia for coronary artery bypass graft. In this study Patient's: hemodynamic were stable. Hypothermia and rewarming during cardiopulmonary bypass were very smooth and ideal. Severe acid - base imbalance did not happened. It did not need excessive in&tropic and vasodilators. Generally, before, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass circulation, hemodynamic changes were not important.

There was hypotension during anesthesic induction in some cases, we think it was due to rapid

injection of 0.75 ug/kg sufentanil intravenously. If injection was slow and before that it 4-5 cc/kg Ringer solusion infused, hypotension would not happen. Except of this complication, method of intravenous anesthesia with midazolam, sufentanil and atracrium is more suitable for coronary bypass graft.
