Methods: 15O-labeled water, oxygen, and carbon monoxide were used as positron emission tomography tracers to determine quantitative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), metabolic rate of oxygen (rCMRO2), and blood volume (rCBV), respectively, on selected regions of interest of nine healthy male volunteers at baseline and during three escalating concentrations of ketamine (targeted to 30, 100, and 300 ng/ml). In addition, voxel-based analysis for relative changes in rCBF and rCMRO2 was performed using statistical parametric mapping.
Results: The mean +/- SD measured ketamine serum concentrations were 37 +/- 8, 132 +/- 19, and 411 +/- 71 ng/ml. Mean arterial pressure was slightly elevated (maximally by 15.3%, P < 0.001) during ketamine infusion. Ketamine increased rCBF in a concentration-dependent manner. In the region-of-interest analysis, the greatest absolute changes were detected at the highest ketamine concentration level in the anterior cingulate (38.2% increase from baseline, P < 0.001), thalamus (28.5%, P < 0.001), putamen (26.8%, P < 0.001), and frontal cortex (25.4%, P < 0.001). Voxel-based analysis revealed marked relative rCBF increases in the anterior cingulate, frontal cortex, and insula. Although absolute rCMRO2 was not changed in the region-of-interest analysis, subtle relative increases in the frontal, parietal, and occipital cortices and decreases predominantly in the cerebellum were detected in the voxel-based analysis. rCBV increased only in the frontal cortex (4%, P = 0.022). 相似文献
Methods: Twenty-four surgical patients were assigned to three groups at random to receive isoflurane, sevoflurane, or halothane (8 patients each). End-tidal concentration of the selected volatile anesthetic was maintained at 0.5 and 1.0 MAC before surgery and then 1.5 MAC for the 3 h of surgical procedure. Normothermia and normocapnia were maintained. Mean arterial blood pressure was kept above 60 mmHg, using phenylephrine infusion, if necessary. CBF equivalent was calculated every 20 min as the reciprocal of arterial-jugular venous oxygen content difference.
Results: CBF equivalent at 0.5 MAC of isoflurane, halothane, and sevoflurane was 21+/-4, 20+/-3, and 21+/-5 ml blood/ml oxygen, respectively. All three examined volatile anesthetics significantly (P < 0.01) increased CBF equivalent in a dose-dependent manner (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 MAC). At 1.5 MAC, the increase of CBF equivalent with all anesthetics was maintained increased with minimal fluctuation for 3 h. The mean value of CBF equivalent at 1.5 MAC in the isoflurane group (45+/-8) was significantly (P < 0.01) greater than those in the halothane (32+/-8) and sevoflurane (31+/-8) groups. Electroencephalogram was found to be relatively unchanged during observation periods at 1.5 MAC. 相似文献
Methods: In 14 patients, the time-mean middle cerebral artery flow velocity (Vmca) was measured when the end-tidal carbon dioxide level was approximately 30, 40, and 50 mmHg under the following conditions: (1) awake; (2) with 2% (1.2 MAC) sevoflurane; and (3) with 1.2 MAC sevoflurane-60% nitrous oxide. In six other patients, the cerebrovascular autoregulation during anesthesia was determined using intravenous phenylephrine to increase blood pressure.
Results: Sevoflurane (1.2 MAC) significantly decreased Vmca compared with the awake value at each level of end-tidal carbon dioxide, whereas 1.2 MAC sevoflurane-60% nitrous oxide did not exert significant influence. The Vmca in normocapnic patients decreased from 69 cm/s to 55 cm/s with 1.2 MAC sevoflurane and then increased to 70 cm/s when nitrous oxide was added. Sevoflurane (1.2 MAC) with and without 60% nitrous oxide had a negligible effect on cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity. A phenylephrine-induced increase of mean arterial pressure did not influence Vmca during anesthesia. 相似文献
Methods: Using H215O, rCBF was assessed in 16 healthy (American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] physical status I) volunteers awake and at three escalating drug concentrations: 1, 1.5, and 2 MAC/EC50, or specifically, at either 2, 3, and 4% end-tidal sevoflurane (n = 8), or 6, 9, and 12 [mu]g/ml plasma concentration of propofol (n = 8). Rocuronium was used for muscle relaxation.
Results: Both drugs decreased the bispectral index and blood pressure dose-dependently. Comparison between adjacent levels showed that sevoflurane initially (0 vs. 1 MAC) reduced absolute rCBF by 36-53% in all areas, then (1 vs. 1.5 MAC) increased rCBF in the frontal cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum (7-16%), and finally (1.5 vs. 2 MAC) caused a dual effect with a 23% frontal reduction and a 38% cerebellar increase. In the propofol group, flow was also initially reduced by 62-70%, with minor further effects. In the SPM analysis of the "awake to 1 MAC/EC50" step, both anesthetic agents reduced relative rCBF in the cuneus, precuneus, posterior limbic system, and the thalamus or midbrain; additionally, propofol reduced relative rCBF in the parietal and frontal cortices. 相似文献
Methods: Twenty-four surgical patients were randomly assigned to three groups to receive halothane, isoflurane, or sevoflurane (eight patients, each). End-tidal concentration of the selected volatile anesthetic was maintained at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 MAC before surgery and then at 1.5 MAC during surgery, which lasted more than 3 h. Normothermia and normocapnia were maintained. Mean arterial blood pressure was kept above 70 mmHg, using phenylephrine infusion, if necessary. TCD recordings of the Vmca were performed continuously.
Results: Vmca at 0.5 MAC of halothane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane was 49 +/- 19, 57 +/- 8, and 48 +/- 13 cm/s, respectively. Halothane significantly (P < 0.01) increased Vmca in a dose-dependent manner (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 MAC), whereas isoflurane and sevoflurane produced no significant dose-related changes. At 1.5 MAC for 3 h, Vmca changed significantly (P < 0.05) for the time trends, but it did not exhibit decay over time with all drugs. During burst suppression, observed electroencephalographically (EEG) on patients during isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, the onset of a burst increased Vmca (approximately 5-30 cm/s), which was maintained for the duration of the burst. 相似文献
Normoxic nitrous oxide mixtures produced an increase of the coronary blood flow due to decreased coronary vascular resistance. To what extent this coronary vasodilatation resulted from an increased myocardial metabolism or from a direct effect of nitrous oxide on the coronary vascular bed cannot be quantified from the present results. 相似文献
Methods: After informed consent, 10 right-handed male volunteer participants (aged 33.5 +/- 10.4 yr, weighing 74.5 +/- 8.4 kg) received thiopental (n = 4) or propofol (n = 6) intravenously at stepwise target concentrations of propofol 1.2 and 2.5-3, or thiopental 4 and 7-9 [mu]g/ml, representing sedative and hypnotic drug concentrations. The latter made volunteers unresponsive to voice or mild stimulation. Quantitative positron emission tomographic brain images were obtained at 0, 20, and 40 auditory words per minute at each drug concentration. Using SPM99 analysis, 10-mm spherical regions of interest were identified by peak covariation of word rate with rCBF across all conditions and drug concentrations. Individual mean rCBF responses in these and primary auditory cortex (Heschl's gyri) were obtained.
Results: Significant increases in rCBF with auditory word rate occurred in temporal lobes bilaterally at baseline (significance, T = 4.95). There was no change in this response during sedation (T = 5.60). During unresponsiveness seven of 10 participants had a diminished response in the left temporal lobe (T = 3.18). Global CBF, corrected for changes in Pco2 (3% [middle dot]mmHg Pco2-1), was reduced 15% by sedation and 27% during unresponsiveness. 相似文献
Methods: A crossover design was used to test the effects of two end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane (0.3% and 0.6%), two end-tidal concentrations of nitrous oxide (15% and 30%) that were equal in minimum alveolar concentration to that of sevoflurane, and placebo (100% oxygen) in 12 healthy volunteers. The volunteers inhaled one of these concentrations of sevoflurane, nitrous oxide, or placebo for 35 min. Dependent measures included subjective, psychomotor, and physiologic effects, and pain ratings measured during a cold-water test.
Results: Sevoflurane produced a greater degree of amnesia, psychomotor impairment, and drowsiness than did equal minimum alveolar concentrations of nitrous oxide. Recovery from sevoflurane and nitrous oxide effects was rapid. Nitrous oxide but not sevoflurane had analgesic effects. 相似文献
Methods: In animal experiments, 15 mongrel dogs were organized into dipyridamole (n = 6) and sevoflurane (n = 9) groups. Sonicated albumin was infused into the left main coronary artery. The peak gray level correlated for background was analyzed at the following intervals: (1) at baseline, (2) after stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery (blood flow reduced by 40%), (3) after administration of dipyridamole (1 mg/kg given intravenously) or sevoflurane (1 minimum alveolar concentration) during stenosis, and (4) after phenylephrine during stenosis and administration of dipyridamole or sevoflurane. In human studies, nine patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were studied. During partial extracorporeal circulation, the peak gray level was analyzed before and 20 min after sevoflurane (1 minimum alveolar concentration).
Results: In animal experiments, dipyridamole decreased significantly the inner:outer ratio of the peak gray level in the ischemic area and the ischemic:normal ratio of the peak gray level. After arterial pressure was restored with phenylephrine, neither the inner:outer ratio nor the ischemic:normal ratio improved. In contrast, after sevoflurane administration, the inner:outer ratio and the ischemic:normal ratio remained unchanged, but these increased with phenylephrine. In human studies, sevoflurane did not change the inner:outer ratio in the area supplied by the most stenotic coronary artery. 相似文献
Methods: 15O-labeled water was used to determine rCBF in nine healthy male subjects at baseline and during 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of xenon (63%). Anesthesia was based solely on xenon. Absolute changes in rCBF were quantified using region-of-interest analysis and voxel-based analysis.
Results: Mean arterial blood pressure and arterial partial pressure for carbon dioxide remained unchanged. The mean (+/- SD) xenon concentration during anesthesia was 65.2 +/- 2.3%. Xenon anesthesia decreased absolute rCBF by 34.7 +/- 9.8% in the cerebellum (P < 0.001), by 22.8 +/- 10.4% in the thalamus (P = 0.001), and by 16.2 +/- 6.2% in the parietal cortex (P < 0.001). On average, xenon anesthesia decreased absolute rCBF by 11.2 +/- 8.6% in the gray matter (P = 0.008). A 22.1 +/- 13.6% increase in rCBF was detected in the white matter (P = 0.001). Whole-brain voxel-based analysis revealed widespread cortical reductions and increases in rCBF in the precentral and postcentral gyri. 相似文献
Methods: Middle cerebral artery velocity (CBFV) was recorded continuously in six volunteers. CBFV, jugular bulb venous saturation (Sjvo2), CMR equivalent (CMRe), and CBFV/CMRe ratio were determined at six intervals before, during, and after administration of dexmedetomidine: (1) presedation; (2) presedation with hyperventilation; at steady state plasma levels of (3) 0.6 ng/ml and (4) 1.2 ng/ml; (5) 1.2 ng/ml with hyperventilation; and (6) 30 min after discontinuing dexmedetomidine. The slope of the arterial carbon dioxide tension (Paco2)-CBFV relation was determined presedation and at 1.2 ng/ml.
Results: CBFV and CMRe decreased in a dose-related manner. The CBFV/CMRe ratio was unchanged. The CBFV response to carbon dioxide decreased from 1.20 +/- 0.2 cm[middle dot]s-1[middle dot]mm Hg-1 presedation to 0.40 +/- 0.15 cm[middle dot]s-1[middle dot]mm Hg-1 at 1.2 ng/ml. Sjvo2 was statistically unchanged during hyperventilation at 1.2 ng/ml versus presedation (50 +/- 11 vs. 43 +/- 5%). Arousal for hyperventilation at 1.2 ng/ml resulted in increased CBFV (30 +/- 5 to 38 +/- 4) and Bispectral Index (43 +/- 10 to 94 +/- 3). 相似文献
Methods : Nine volunteers were studied under each of four conditions: normocapnia, hypocapnia, normocapnia + 40-50% N2O, and hypocapnia + 40-50% N2O. CBV was measured after 99mTc-labeling of blood with radioactive quantitative registration via single photon emission computer-aided tomography scanning.
Results : Global CBV during normocapnia and inhalation of 50% O2 was 4.25 +/- 0.57% of the brain volume (4.17 +/- 0.56 ml/100 g, mean +/- SD) with no change during inhalation of 40-50% N2O in O2. Decreasing carbon dioxide (CO2) by 1.5 kPa (11 mmHg) without N2O inhalation and by 1.4 kPa (11 mmHg) with N2O inhalation reduced CBV significantly (F = 57, P < 0.0001), by 0.27 +/- 0.10% of the brain volume per kilopascal (0.26 +/- 0.10 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] kPa-1) without N2O inhalation and by 0.35 +/- 0.22% of the brain volume per kilopascal (0.34 +/- 0.22 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] kPa-1) during N2O inhalation (no significant difference). The amount of carbon dioxide significantly altered the regional distribution of CBV (F = 47, P < 0.0001), corresponding to a regional difference in [DELTA]CBV when CO2 is changed. N2O inhalation did not significantly change the distribution of regional CBV (F = 2.4, P = 0.051) or [DELTA]CBV/[DELTA]CO2 in these nine subjects. 相似文献
