Halothane and isoflurane induce potent bronchodilation during general anaesthesia and have been used successfully during status asthmaticus. The aim of this study was to determine whether airway hyporesponsiveness was prolonged after halothane administration. Sixteen guinea-pigs were submitted for 2 h to either 1.5% halothane in oxygen or 100% oxygen, and were killed 24 h later to elicit isomet...
