Another look at acute tolerance to thiopentone.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phenomenon of "acute tolerance" to thiopentone was re-examined in 82 subjects with induction doses of 2-15mg kg-1. There was a strong positive correlation between the venous plasma thiopentone concentrations on recovery from anesthesia and the induction dose, expressed as either mg kg-1 or mg m-2. Recovery time was proportionately shorter with larger doses, being directly related to log10 of the plasma concentration at awakening.

The acute haemodynamic efifects of thiopentone, methohexitone and propanidid have been compared in anaesthetized dogs. All three drugs caused a reduction in arterial blood pressure and minor changes in cardiac output, but whereas thiopentone and methohexitone had similar effects propanidid was found to be three times as potent as thiopentone in its effect upon arterial systolic pressure. Thiope...
