Summary
Ether depresses myocardial function, though it also increases sympathetic tone. Beta blockers may blunt the sympathetic compensation and add to myocardial depression, resulting in hypotension and bradycardia.
What this interaction means in plain words
Ether and Nadolol can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
Additive negative inotropic effects of beta blockade and anesthetic myocardial depression, with blunting of compensatory sympathetic drive.
What to do
Do not stop chronic beta blocker therapy abruptly before surgery. Monitor hemodynamics intraoperatively and be ready to treat bradycardia and hypotension.
