Ventilation and chemoreflexes during enflurane sedation and anaesthesia in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enflurane sedation and anaesthesia in healthy fit subjects reduced ventilation and the response to carbon dioxide, hypoxaemia and a low dose of doxapram, all in a dose-related fashion. Comparing the three chemoreflexes tested, the response to hypoxaemia and doxapram were the more profoundly impaired; they were nearly totally abolished by anaesthesia. These effects of enflurane on chemoreflex activities are qualitatively similar to those previously observed with halothane.

Comparison of decreases in ventilation caused by enflurane and fentanyl during anaesthesia.
Two groups of six patients were studied during light general anaesthesia using 2% enflurane and 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen, combined with regional anaesthesia, for hernia and varicose vein surgery. The effects of 3% enflurane were compared with those of fentanyl 0.3 microgram kg-1 i.v., by measuring inspired flow, tidal volume, the timing of inspiration and expiration, and occlusion pressure. ...
متن کاملEffects of increasing enflurane concentrations on intraocular pressure.
The effects of enflurane at various concentrations on intraocular pressure (IOP) were studied. In 15 healthy patients, intubated and mechanically ventilated, IOP was measured the day before surgery, after premedication and during anaesthesia, after administration of 0.5%, 1.0% or 1.5% enflurane. Enflurane in combination with general anaesthesia and controlled ventilation (PCO2 4.7-5.3 kPa) caus...
متن کاملThe effect of thiopentone on enflurane-induced cortical seizures.
The effect of thiopentone 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg on the enflurane-induced cortical spike discharge has been examined. Seven cats were anaesthetized with enflurane in oxygen and ventilation was controlled to maintain eucapnia during e.e.g. recording. End-tidal enflurane concentrations of between 1.2 and 2.2% provoked dose-dependent spontaneous spike discharges reproducibly. It was found that, during ...
متن کاملPneumomediastinum, pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema complicating MIS herniorrhaphy.
PURPOSE Videoscopic herniorrhaphy is being performed more frequently with advantages claimed over the conventional open approach. This clinical report describes a pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema occurring at the end of an extraperitoneal videoscopic herniorrhaphy. CLINICAL FEATURES A 25 yr old ASA I man presented for elective extraperitoneal videoscopic hernia repai...
متن کاملInspiratory to end-tidal oxygen difference during nitrous oxide anaesthesia.
In order to evaluate the value of the inspiratory to end-tidal oxygen concentration difference (Io2-E'o2) as a monitor during general anaesthesia, we studied 40 orthopaedic patients allocated randomly to four groups: anaesthesia with enflurane or isoflurane in nitrous oxide with either spontaneous or controlled ventilation. (Io2-E'o2) followed an asymptotically increasing curve because of decre...
