Errors in oxygen tension measurements caused by halothane.

چکیده
Halothane, independent of oxygen tension, increased the signal of the gold/silver-silver chloride microelectrode. The output of microelectrodes at different oxygen tensions in the presence of increasing amounts of halothane has been measured. Halothane causes an increase in the electrode signal which is proportional to its concentration. This effect results from the polarographic reduction of halothane. It is concluded that the gold/silver-silver chloride microelectrode cannot be used to measure oxygen tension during halothane anaesthesia.

A comparison of the effects of thiopentone and halothane anaesthesia on critical oxygen tension.
RECENT WORK has shown that barbiturate anaesthesia protects tissues against hypoxic damage. ~,2 The mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. ~ However, it is known that barbiturates as well as halothane affect the respiratory enzymes. 4-9 This information has been obtained from tissue culture. Unfortunately it is difficult to extrapolate results from tissue culture to whole animals. It is als...
متن کاملEffect 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 کاملHypocapnic vasoconstriction during halothane anaesthesia in surgical patients.
The relation between the carbon dioxide tension of the capillary blood and the state of the blood vessels of the skin has been studied plethysmographically in curarized patients anaesthetized with halothanc in oxygen. It was observed that hypocapnia consistently caused constriction of the cutaneous blood vessels. The vasoconstrictive reaction was uninfluenced by hexamethonium bromide but was bl...
متن کاملThe effect of enteral oxygen administration on the hepatic circulation during halothane anaesthesia: experimental investigations.
An investigation of the hepatic microcirculation and oxygen tension in 20 white rats showed that halothane anaesthesia was associated with a reduction in the diameter of the terminal portal venous branches, sinusoids and central veins, and with a decrease in the hepatic oxygen tension from 28.8+/-4.8 to 22.4+/-3.9 mmHg (mean +/-SEM). Enteral oxygen administration was followed by an increased bl...
متن کاملThe association of halothane-induced lipid peroxidation with the anaerobic metabolism of halothane: an in vitro study in guinea pig liver microsomes.
The formation of pentane and anaerobic metabolites of halothane (2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethylene) in a mixture of guinea pig liver microsomes and halothane (2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane) in the presence of NADPH was studied by gas chromatography. Under anaerobic conditions, pentane was formed without halothane and was inhibited by oxygen tension. This ...
