hepatotoxicity of halogenated inhalational anesthetics

چکیده
conclusions hepatotoxicity of halogenated inhalational anesthetics has been well documented in available literature. halothane-induced liver injury was extensively acknowledged; however, the next generation halogenated anesthetics have different molecular structures and associated with less hepatotoxicity. although anesthesia-induced hepatitis is not a common occurrence, we must consider the association between this disorder and the use of halogenated anesthetics. results all halogenated inhalational anesthetics are associated with liver injury. halothane, enflurane, isoflurane and desflurane are metabolized through the metabolic pathway involving cytochrome p-450 2e1 (cyp2e1) and produce trifluoroacetylated components; some of which may be immunogenic. the severity of hepatotoxicity is associated with the degree by which they undergo hepatic metabolism by this cytochrome. however, liver toxicity is highly unlikely from sevoflurane as is not metabolized to trifluoroacetyl compounds. context halogenated inhalational anesthetics are currently the most common drugs used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. postoperative hepatic injury has been reported after exposure to these agents. based on much evidence, mechanism of liver toxicity is more likely to be immunoallergic. the objective of this review study was to assess available studies on hepatotoxicity of these anesthetics. evidence acquisition we searched pubmed, google scholar, scopus, index copernicus, ebsco and the cochrane database using the following keywords: “inhalational anesthetics” and “liver injury”; “inhalational anesthetics” and “hepatotoxicity”; “volatile anesthetics” and “liver injury”; “volatile anesthetics” and hepatotoxicity for the period of 1966 to 2013. fifty two studies were included in this work.

متن کاملHalogenated Anesthetics and Human Myocardium
THE effects of halogenated anesthetics on the myocardium have been studied extensively in vivo and in vitro in various animal species. In the past, investigators have focused their efforts on heart function, myocardial mechanics, and electrophysiology. During recent years, considerable knowledge has been obtained by new investigative methodologies, including molecular and cellular biology and a...
متن کاملModern inhalational anesthetics for refractory status epilepticus.
BACKGROUND Our goal was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the use of modern inhalational anesthetic agents for refractory status epilepticus and their impact on seizure control. METHODS All articles from MEDLINE, BIOSIS, EMBASE, Global Health, HealthStar, Scopus, Cochrane Library, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (inception to March 2014), reference lists ...
متن کاملAn analysis of the subjective pungencies of inhalational anesthetics.
Selection of an inhalational anesthetic is often based upon anecdotal reports suggesting that certain drugs are "less pungent," "smoother" and better tolerated during certain inhalant techniques. The authors tested the hypothesis that there would not be demonstrable preference for the inhalant halothane over the modern ether-based agents. Results suggest that (1) agent selection should be based...
متن کاملNeuroprotections and mechanisms of inhalational anesthetics against brain ischemia.
The new generation of inhalational anesthetics has been widely used for general anesthesia in both clinical and experimental settings because of their safety, reliability and potency. A neuroprotective role has recently been revealed for some of these anesthetics, including the volatile gases isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane, as well as the inert gas xenon. In vivo and in vitro studies h...
