A series of 167 cases is presented in which each patient underwent plastic surgery. The majority of the operations involved facial reconstruction. The aim of our investigation was to observe the effects on the cardiovascular system of epinephrine used during general anaesthesia. Electrocardiographs recordings were made during the course of the operations. The types of abnormal rhythm and the probable causes have been discussed. It is concluded that epinephrine may be used safely during general anaesthesia, provided certain important precautions are rigorously observed.
