چکیده
To assess the effects of halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane on cross bridges in intact cardiac muscle, electrically stimulated (0.25 Hz, 25 degrees C) right ventricular ferret papillary muscles (n = 14) were subjected to sinusoidal load oscillations (37-182 Hz, 0.2-0.5 mN peak to peak) at the instantaneous self-resonant frequency of the muscle-lever system. At resonance, stiffness is proportional to m * omega(2) (where m is equivalent moving mass and omega is angular frequency). Dynamic stiffness was derived by relating total stiffness to values of passive stiffness at each length during shortening and lengthening. Shortening amplitude and dynamic stiffness were decreased by halothane > isoflurane > or = sevoflurane. At equal peak shortening, dynamic stiffness was higher in halothane or isoflurane in high extracellular Ca(2+) concentration than in control. Halothane and isoflurane increased passive stiffness. The decrease in dynamic stiffness and shortening results in part from direct effects of volatile anesthetics at the level of cross bridges. The increase in passive stiffness caused by halothane and isoflurane may reflect an effect on weakly bound cross bridges and/or an effect on passive elastic elements.

Effects of volatile anesthetics on elastic stiffness in isometrically contracting ferret ventricular myocardium.
The effects of halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane on elastic stiffness, which reflects the degree of cross-bridge attachment, were studied in intact cardiac muscle. Electrically stimulated (0.25 Hz, 25 degrees C), isometrically twitching right ventricular ferret papillary muscles (n = 15) at optimal length (L(max)) were subjected to sinusoidal length oscillations (40 Hz, 0.25- 0.50% of L(ma...
متن کاملDifferent inhibitory effects of volatile anesthetics on T- and L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels in porcine tracheal and bronchial smooth muscles.
BACKGROUND The distal airway is more important in the regulation of airflow resistance than is the proximal airway, and volatile anesthetics have a greater inhibitory effect on distal airway muscle tone. The authors investigated the different reactivities of airway smooth muscles to volatile anesthetics by measuring porcine tracheal or bronchial (third to fifth generation) smooth muscle tension...
متن کاملDesflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane affect left atrial active and passive mechanical properties and impair left atrial-left ventricular coupling in vivo: analysis using pressure-volume relations.
BACKGROUND The effects of volatile anesthetics on left atrial function in vivo have not been described. The authors tested the hypothesis that desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane alter left atrial mechanics evaluated with invasively derived pressure-volume relations. METHODS Barbiturate-anesthetized dogs (n = 24) were instrumented for measurement of aortic, left atrial, and left ventricul...
متن کاملDifferential effects of volatile and intravenous anesthetics on the activity of human TASK-1.
Volatile anesthetics have been shown to activate various two-pore (2P) domain K(+) (K(2P)) channels such as TASK-1 and TREK-1 (TWIK-related acid-sensitive K(+) channel), and mice deficient in these channels are resistant to halothane-induced anesthesia. Here, we investigated whether K(2P) channels were also potentially important targets of intravenous anesthetics. Whole cell patch-clamp techniq...
متن کاملEffects of Intravenous Anesthetics on Ca Sensitivity in Canine Tracheal Smooth Muscle
Background: Halothane and other volatile anesthetics relax airway smooth muscle in part by decreasing the amount of force produced for a particular intracellular calcium concentration (the Ca sensitivity) during muscarinic receptor stimulation. In this study, ketamine, propofol, and midazolam were evaluated to determine whether the inhibitory effect of volatile anesthetics on this signal transd...
