droperidol and Mitral Valve Insufficiency

droperidol has been researched along with Mitral Valve Insufficiency in 2 studies

Droperidol: A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of HALOPERIDOL. It is used in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as FENTANYL to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon. It is also used as a premedicant, as an antiemetic, and for the control of agitation in acute psychoses. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 29th ed, p593)
droperidol : An organofluorine compound that is haloperidol in which the hydroxy group has been eliminated with the introduction of a double bond in the piperidine ring, and the 4-chlorophenyl group has been replaced by a benzimidazol-2-on-1-yl group. It is used in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and in conjunction with an opioid analgesic such as fentanyl to maintain the patient in a calm state of neuroleptanalgesia with indifference to surroundings but still able to cooperate with the surgeon.

Mitral Valve Insufficiency: Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The investigation of indices of hemodynamics of the small circle of blood circulation and the level of catecholamines in 34 patients at the main stages of closed mitral commissurotomy has shown that in pronounced pulmonary hypertension worse indices of hemodynamics of the small circle of blood circulation could be prevented by administration of droperidol."7.66[Effect of droperidol on the functional state of the lesser circulation in patients with pulmonary hypertension]. ( Gerasimov, NM; Gimmel'farb, GN; Kleĭnerman, VE, 1983)
