The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between dental
anesthetic and pulse and blood pressure.
A sample of 600 patients was taken randomly
( 322 males - 278 females).
The research was done on patients by giving dental anestheti
c with and
without adrenaline .
The results of the study indicated that:
- The heart rate and blood pressure of the patients receiving an injection of
xylocaine without adrenaline increased by average of 4% -5% respectively.
- The heart rate and blood pressure of the patients receiving an injection of
xylocain with adrenaline increased by average of 12%-15% respectively.
- the heart rate and blood pressure were mesured after 15 minutes we found
that there was not any change in the value from the previous result.
- when the heart rate and blood pressurewere mesured after 30 minuts hour
we found that:
- The heart rate and blood pressure returned to the normal value in case an
injection without adrenaline .
-in case an injection with adrenaline the heart rate increase by 1 puls The
blood pressure l increased by 1 cm.m.
In this study 500 obese pregnant women and 250 non-obese pregnant women
(Group of Control) were followed up to prove the role of obesity as a high risk
factor on the incidence of (P.I.H.). We found that:
1. There is a considerable increase in the
incidence of (P.I.H.), which was
proportional to the grade of obesity in the main group. The incidence of P.I.H.
was : %15.38 in grade 1, %26.42 in grade 2 and %42.22 in grade 3 of obesity
(Vs. %6.4 in the control group).
2. There is a considerable increase in the incidence of (P.I.H.) among the obese
pregnant women, especially when they are 36-45 years old (%32.39 Vs. %6.45
in control group).
So that it is advisable to screen all obese pregnant women especially when they
are 36-45 years old and consider them as a high risk group for the indicence of
(P.I.H.).
