Anaesthesia for studies of the cerebral circulation: a comparison of phencyclidine and althesin in the baboon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of phencyclidine on cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen and carbon dioxide reactivity were compared with those of Althesin in six baboons. Under similar and stable levels (Stage 1) of electroencephalographic activity cerebral blood flow and the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen were significantly less during the infusion of Althesin when compared with the values obtained during the infusion of phencyclidine. Reactivity to carbon dioxide was present and similar during the infusion of either drug.

Effects of Althesin on cerebral blood flow and oxygen consumption in man.
Cerebral circulation and metabolism during Althesin anaesthesia were studied in seven healthy patients. Althesin was given in a single dose of 0.1 ml/kg and thereafter infused at a constant rate of 0.3 ml/kg/h. During Althesin infusion, the cerebral blood flow (CBF), the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CMRo2) were 29 +/- 10 ml/100 g/min and 1.7 +/- 0.4 ml/133 g/min, respectively. These valu...
متن کاملRelationship between cerebral blood flow changes and cortical extracellular fluid pH during cerebral metabolic depression induced by althesin.
Baboons anaesthetized with halothane and nitrous oxide in oxygen were given Althesin 0.05 ml kg-1 i.v. Cerebral blood flow (c.b.f.) was measured by an electromagnetic flowmeter and by xenon clearance whilst extracellular fluid (e.c.f.) pH of the parietal cortex was measured with a micro pH electrode. Carotid blood flow (carBF) began to decrease and carotid vascular resistance (carVR) to increas...
متن کاملComparison of etomidate and althesin in the reduction of increased intracranial pressure after head injury.
The increasing use of shorter-acting hypnotic agents to control intracranial pressure (ICP) following severe head injury has prompted a prospective double-blind controlled trial comparing the efficacy of etomidate and Althesin, given by i.v. infusion. Over the dose ranges used, the two drugs appeared equipotent in decreasing ICP whilst preserving cerebral perfusion pressure. However, in two pat...
متن کاملThe effect of althesin on intracranial pressure in man.
The intravenous administration of Althesin 50 /d/kg to 9 patients undergoing neurosurgery during general anaesthesia with controlled ventilation resulted in a fall in intracranial pressure (i.c.p.) measured in one lateral ventricle. The extent of the reduction in intracranial pressure was directly proportional to the starting value of pressure. Intracranial pressure gradually returned to contro...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of althesin and barbiturates on the neocortex and hippocampus in cats.
In the cat, the e.e.g. of the neocortex and the hippocampus and the cortical evoked potentials to central sensory pathway stimulation seen during Althesin anaesthesia were compared with those seen during barbiturate anaesthesia. During Althesin anaesthesia the neocortical e.e.g. displayed spindle-like activity, which was similar to that seen during barbiturate anaesthesia. Although both Althesi...
