Which of the following anesthetic agent cause hypeension on injection?
In contrast to other anesthetic agents, ketamine increases aerial blood pressure, hea rate, and cardiac output, paicularly after rapid bolus injections. These indirect cardiovascular effects are due to the central stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and inhibition of the reuptake of norepinephrine after release at nerve terminals.
