Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We studied the respiratory and cardiovascular effects of 1.25 MAC halothane, isoflurane and enflurane in oxygen delivered via the Jackson-Rees breathing system in 10 rats. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate were depressed significantly (P less than 0.05) in rats (n = 5) whose body temperature was not controlled after 2 hr of anesthesia regardless of the inhalational agent. Respiratory and metabolic acidosis developed. The respiratory and cardiovascular depression was most marked under enflurane anesthesia. In normothermic rats (n = 5) the initial cardiovascular depression stabilized after 30 min of halothane and isoflurane anesthesia. Moderate respiratory depression developed (PCO2 48.42 +/- 2.48 torr with halothane vs. 41.02 +/- 1.68 torr with isoflurane). Because the cardiovascular and respiratory changes caused by halothane and isoflurane were far less than changes produced by enflurane, halothane or isoflurane is preferable to enflurane for maintaining anesthesia in rats. Maintenance of constant temperature minimizes the cardiovascular and respiratory disturbances.
