Serotonin and anesthesia.
نویسنده
چکیده
Serotonin is an important monoamine to the anesthetist for many reasons. An increase or decrease of serotonin concentration in the brain changes the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of inhalational anesthetics; precipitous release systemically, as in carcinoid syndrome, produces devastating effects on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Serotonin is ubiquitous and has many roles in the body. Those aspects relevant to anesthesia are reviewed in this article.

Depletion of Serotonin Synthesis with p-CPA Pretreatment Alters EEG in Urethane Anesthetized Rats under Whole Body Hyperthermia
Serotonin is believed as an important factor in brain function. The role of serotonin in cerebral psycho-patho-physiology has already been well established. However, the function of serotonin antagonist in anesthetized subjects under hyperthermia has not been studied properly. Methods: Experiments were performed in three groups of urethane-anesthetized rats, such as: (i) control group, (ii) wh...
متن کاملSerotonin syndrome: fentanyl and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor interactions.
Serotonin syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal adverse drug reaction associated with increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. It is characterized by a triad of symptoms, which include altered mental status, neuromuscular hyperactivity, and autonomic instability or hyperactivity. Due to the potential of rapid onset, it is important for clinicians to recognize the signs ...
متن کاملPropofol anesthesia increases dopamine and serotonin activities at the somatosensory cortex in rats: a microdialysis study.
We sought to estimate the activities of dopamine and serotonin in animals receiving propofol anesthesia. The in vivo microdialysis technique was used in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6) to measure the major metabolites of dopamine and serotonin, i.e. 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methyphenylacetic acid; HVA) and 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in the so...
متن کاملSerotonin-mushroom body circuit modulating the formation of anesthesia-resistant memory in Drosophila.
Pavlovian olfactory learning in Drosophila produces two genetically distinct forms of intermediate-term memories: anesthesia-sensitive memory, which requires the amnesiac gene, and anesthesia-resistant memory (ARM), which requires the radish gene. Here, we report that ARM is specifically enhanced or inhibited in flies with elevated or reduced serotonin (5HT) levels, respectively. The requiremen...

This challenging case highlights the complex management of a 59-year old HIVseropositive man who underwent an uncomplicated revision total hip replacement with spinal anesthesia and propofol sedation. In the PACU, the patient developed delirium, hypertension, and hyperthermia after meperidine administration that warranted medical evaluation; the patient did not sustain residual sequelae. Meperi...
