The effects of halothane and ether on the pulmonary circulation in the innervated perfused cat lung.

چکیده
The effects of halothane and diethyl ether on pulmonary vascular resistance and the pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to alveolar hypoxia were studied in the innervated perfused cat lung. A left and right heart bypass technique was used to allow perfusion of the lungs at constant flow. Neither anaesthetic agent caused a significant change in pulmonary vascular resistance but both agents caused a depression of the pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to hypoxia.

Effect of halothane and diethyl ether on the circulatory response to carbon dioxide in the isolated perfused cat lung.
Constant flow perfusion of the pulmonary circulation was established in isolated cat lungs. These were ventilated with 5% carbon dioxide in oxygen in order to maintain a near-normal carbon dioxide tension and acid-base status in the perfusing blood. The alteration of pulmonary vascular resistance in response to a change in inspired carbon dioxide concentration from 5% to 10% was investigated be...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung
Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...
متن کاملSustained Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in the Isolated Perfused Rat Lung: Effect of α1-adrenergic Receptor Agonist
Background: Alveolar hypoxia induces monophasic pulmonary vasoconstriction in vivo, biphasic vasoconstriction in the isolated pulmonary artery, and controversial responses in the isolated perfused lung. Pulmonary vascular responses to sustained alveolar hypoxia have not been addressed in the isolated perfused rat lung. In this study, we investigated the effect of sustained hypoxic ventilation o...
متن کاملThe effect of inhalational anaesthetics on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary vascular resistance in the perfused lungs of the dog and cat.
Alveolar hypoxia produced an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance in isolated cat and dog lungs or lobes perfused at constant flow. This response was abolished for varying periods of time by the administration of high concentrations of inhalational anaesthetic agents. In these preparations 5 per cent halothane caused pulmonary vasodilatation whereas 15 per cent ether, 1.5 per cent trichlor...
متن کاملSEQUESTRATION OF LEUKOCYTES BY THE ISOLATED PERFUSED RAT LUNG
The sequestration of rat leukocytes and bone marrow cells by the lung vasculature was studied using an isolated perfused rat lung preparation. The passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. Leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematop...
