Halothane: Is there still any place for using the gas as an anesthetic?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fluorinated hydrocarbons that are used for anesthesia are derived from ether. Although they have many benefits, there are several side effects of these drugs, including untoward hepatic effects. Whether the use of halothane gas can be revitalized is unknown. Introducing nanocarriers inside the halothane molecule can increase its benefits as an anesthetic in the lungs and cardiovascular system and prevent exposure to the liver. The findings of new fields, such as cancer therapy, and anesthetic agents, such as propofol, can improve the quality of the drug using nanomedicine.

Background: Halothane is the routine used inhalation anesthetic drug in the world but at present, there is an increasing interest for using intravenous anesthetics like propofol. The purpose of this study was to compare these anesthetic effects on hepatic enzymes.Methods: From 2006 to 2007, this study was performed on fifty eight patients classified in class I of American Society of Anesthetics...

BACKGROUND Preparation of anesthetic machines for use with malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) patients requires that the machines be flushed with clean fresh gas. We investigated the washout of inhalational anesthetics from the KION anesthetic machine. METHODS In part 1, halothane was circulated through KION anesthetic machines for either 2 or 12 h using a test lung. The times to washou...

In spite of numerous investigations, the molecular mechanism of general anesthetics action is still not well understood. It has been shown that the anesthetic potency is related to the ability of an anesthetic to partition into the membrane. We have investigated changes in structure, dynamics and forces of interaction in supported dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers in the presence o...

Background: Acute hepatitis is upon serious complications of halothane usage, can be associated with 50% mortality in severe cases. Use of halothane as inhalational anesthetic or use of it for maintenance of anesthesia is restricted/ prohibited in USA and most European countries. The occurrence of icterus and elevated liver enzymes after halothane anesthesia may be due to the drug induced hepat...
