Comparison of the respiratory effects of ICI 35 868 and thiopentone in the rabbit.

چکیده
The effects of thiopentone and ICI 35 868 on minute volume, respiratory frequency, tidal volume and arterialized venous PCO2, pH and standard bicarbonate have been compared in the rabbit. ICI 35 868 has two to three times the potency of thiopentone, but equivalent anaesthetic doses cause similar decreases in minute volume. ICI 35 868 decreased tidal volume to a greater extent than thiopentone. Whilst the time courses of the two drugs were similar in most respects, thiopentone produced a more prolonged increase in PCO2. This was accompanied by an increase in standard bicarbonate which was not seen in rabbits treated with ICI 35 868.

Animal studies of the anaesthetic activity of ICI 35 868.
The activity of a new i.v. anesthetic agent ICI 35 868, a compound unrelated to currently used barbiturate, eugenol or steroid agents, has been examined in a range of animal species. Some of the properties of ICI 35 868 resemble those of thiopentone in that it is a rapidly acting agent which produces anaesthesia of short duration and without excitatory side-effects. Both agents have a similar t...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics in laboratory animals of ICI 35 868, a new i.v. anaesthetic agent.
Blood concentrations of ICI 35 868 have been determined in rat, pig, rabbit and cat after single i.v. injections. In all species the initial distribution volume was greater than blood volume and the overall distribution volume was large. Half-lives of the distribution phase were extremely short (1-6 min) and the terminal half-lives were also short (16-55 min). In all species examined a correlat...
متن کاملThe Effects of Estrogen Receptors' Antagonist on Brain Edema, Intracranial Pressure and Neurological Outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury in Rat
Background: In previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. This study used ICI 182,780, a non-selective estrogen receptor antagonist, to test the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the estrogen receptors. Methods: The ovariectomized rats were divided into...
متن کاملStudies on thiopentone and midazolam hemodynamic response during induction of anesthesia in patients with coronary artery disease
Background: Induction of anesthesia in patients that undergo cardiac surgery has more risk than others, because of specific cardiovascular effects of the anesthetic drugs and the preoperative state of these patients, so the hemodynamic stability is very important in these patients. It seems that midazolam have less cardiovascular side effects than thiopentone. In this study, the effects of mid...
متن کاملTHE DILEMMA OF HEMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY DURING INDUCTION OF ANESTHESIA: CAN MIDAZOLAM SERVE AS A SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR THIOPENTONE?
Both midazolam and thiopental sodium are being used as induction agents and for maintenance of anesthesia. In contrast to other benzodiazepines such as diazepam, midazolam has a rapid onset of action and fast distribution and causes few cardiovascular or respiratory effects. Being water soluble, midazolam is also associated with a low incidence of venous irritation. The purpose of this stu...
