Comparison of isoflurane with propofol on respiratory cilia.

چکیده
We have investigated the effects of two techniques of clinical anaesthesia on human respiratory cilia by measuring cilia beat frequency of nasal tissue. In a randomized, controlled study, 13 patients undergoing either inhalation anaesthesia with isoflurane or total i.v. anaesthesia with propofol and alfentanil had nasal ciliated epithelial samples removed at the beginning and after 1 h of anaesthesia. Mean cilia beat frequency in the group anaesthetized with isoflurane changed significantly from 11.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 10.7-12.2) Hz to 9.1 (8.1-10.1) Hz after anaesthesia whereas in the group anaesthetized with propofol and alfentanil there was a change from 11.5 (10.7-12.2) Hz to 11.0 (10.2-11.8) Hz (ns). The difference between the anaesthetic agents on cilia beat frequency was significant (MANOVA, P < 0.01). These data suggest that different anaesthetic agents may impair respiratory defence mechanisms to differing extents.

BACKGROUND: It is commonly acknowledged that the most safe and method of choice anesthesia in birds is inhalation anesthesia but in some clinical situations, such as tracheal resection, injectable anesthetic agents are the only choice of surgeons regardless of whether or not an anesthesia machine is available. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the quality of anesthesia and recovery time o...

متن کاملDifferential effects of isoflurane and propofol on upper airway dilator muscle activity and breathing.
BACKGROUND Anesthesia impairs upper airway integrity, but recent data suggest that low doses of some anesthetics increase upper airway dilator muscle activity, an apparent paradox. The authors sought to understand which anesthetics increase or decrease upper airway dilator muscle activity and to study the mechanisms mediating the effect. METHODS The authors recorded genioglossus electromyogra...
متن کاملRespiratory sinus arrhythmia: comparison with EEG indices during isoflurane anaesthesia at 0.65 and 1.2 MAC.
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a cyclical variation in heart rate during breathing, where the heart rate increases during inspiration and decreases during expiration. RSA and the electroencephalogram (EEG) were monitored in 10 patients undergoing elective surgery with isoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen anaesthesia after induction with propofol. All patients were subject to controlled...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of propofol and isoflurane anaesthesia on right ventricular function and shunt fraction during thoracic surgery.
I.v. anaesthetic agents, including propofol, have not been shown to inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). This may encourage the use of propofol in thoracic surgery where one lung ventilation (OLV) is required. We have compared the effects of maintaining anaesthesia with either isoflurane or propofol infusion on right ventricular function and shunt fraction. We studied 10 patients w...
