The authors have performed 180 esophagoscopies (in many cases repeatedly) under anesthesia in conditions of diffuse ventilation against the background of apnoe in patients with esophageal diseases, aged from 1 to 72 years. An analysis of ECG indicated no essential changes in the cardiac electric activity, that correlates well with the data of biochemical control, with the exception of persons with concomitant cardiac organic lesions in whom a decreased electric activity of the myocardium due to metabolic changes was noted.
