Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD100
Effect level:
20 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
All dogs expired prior to 1 hour of infusion
Clinical signs:
Heart rate, systemic arterial pressure and myocardial contactile force decreased. Pulmonary arterial pressure increased.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The continuous i.v. infusion of iso-amyl alcohol, 20 mg/kg per min, decreased heart rate, systemic arterial pressure and myocardial contractile force progressively and markedly even when the blood iso-amyl alcohol levels were less than 0.2 mg/ml. With the dose of iso-amyl alcohol infusion, all dogs expired prior to 1 hr infusion. In spite of the marked myocardial depression, mean pulmonary arterial pressure increased slightly.
