The effect of extreme hypocapnia on the anaesthetic requirement (MAC) of dogs.

چکیده
The effect on the minimiim alveolar concentration of halothane (MAC) during extretne hypocapnia with oxygen, and with air, was determined in nine dogs. MAC was unaffected by hypocapnia with halothane-oxygen. Changing halothane-oxygen to halothane-air reduced the MAC significantly in only five of nine dogs. The average decrease in this group of nine dogs was H per cent, only slightly more than the possible error of the method. A mild metabolic acidosis remained constant throughout the two or three hours of hypocapnia.

Nimodipine decreases the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in dogs.
Nimodipine is a calcium antagonist that binds with high affinity to neuronal membranes. It is a potent cerebrovasodilator and has been demonstrated also to affect neurotransmitter synthesis and release. Because patients undergoing surgery for intracranial aneurysms are frequently receiving nimodipine, the authors determined the MAC of isoflurane in six dogs before and during three infusion dose...
متن کاملDesflurane results in higher cerebral blood flow than sevoflurane or isoflurane at hypocapnia in pigs.
BACKGROUND In clinical neuroanaesthesia, the increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and intracranial pressure caused by the cerebral vasodilative effects of an inhalational anaesthetic agent is counteracted by the cerebral vasoconstriction induced by hypocapnia. Desflurane and sevoflurane may have advantages over the more traditionally used isoflurane in neuroanaesthesia but their dose-dependent...
متن کاملEffect of arterial hypotension on anaesthetic requirement in dogs.
In the dog a reduction of mean arterial pressure to 40-50 mm Hg decreased MAC by 20+/--EM 4% in the 1st hour. No further change resulted during the ensuing 3 h of hypotension (40-50 mm Hg). Arterial and cerebrospinal fluid lactate and pyruvate concentrations were not affected by hypotension, nor did cerebrospinal fluid pH decrease. In a separate group of dogs, we reduced arterial pressure to 40...
متن کاملCerebral effects of sevoflurane in the dog: comparison with isoflurane and enflurane.
The cerebral effects of sevoflurane were compared in dogs with those of enflurane and isoflurane. Initially, the minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC) of sevoflurane and enflurane were determined and the electroencephalographic (EEG) responses to increasing doses of sevoflurane (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 MAC) or enflurane (1.5 and 2.0 MAC) in unparalysed animals were examined. Administration of sevoflur...
متن کاملDepression of hypoxic ventilatory response by halothane, enflurane and isoflurane in dogs.
The ventilatory responses to isocapnic hypoxia and hypercapnia were studied in six dogs each with a tracheostomy, awake and during anaesthesia with halothane, enflurane and isoflurane (1-2.5 MAC). Isocapnic hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) was expressed as the parameter A, such that the greater the value of A, the greater the hypoxic response. In the anaesthetized dogs HVR (A) was reduced sig...
