Methods: Studies were performed in decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated dogs during hypercapnic hyperoxia. The effect of 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) halothane on extracellularly recorded neuronal activity was measured during localized picoejection of the GABAA receptor blocker bicuculline and the glutamate agonists AMPA and NMDA. Complete blockade of the GABAAergic mechanism by bicuculline allowed differentiation between the effects of halothane on overall GABAAergic inhibition and on overall glutamatergic excitation. The neuronal responses to exogenous AMPA and NMDA were used to estimate the anesthetic effect on postsynaptic glutamatergic neurotransmission.
Results: Halothane, 1 MAC, depressed the spontaneous activity of 21 inspiratory neurons by 20.6 +/- 18.0% (mean +/- SD;P = 0.012). Overall glutamatergic excitation was depressed 15.4 +/- 20.2% (P = 0.001), while overall GABAAergic inhibition did not change. The postsynaptic responses to exogenous AMPA and NMDA were also depressed by 18.6 +/- 35.7% (P = 0.03) and 22.2 +/- 26.2% (P = 0.004), respectively. 相似文献
Methods: Studies were performed in decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated dogs during hypercapnic hyperoxia. The effect of 1 MAC sevoflurane on extracellularly recorded neuronal activity was measured during localized picoejection of the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline and the GABAA agonist muscimol. Complete blockade of GABAAergic inhibition by bicuculline allowed estimation of the prevailing overall inhibition of the neuron. The neuronal response to muscimol was used to assess the anesthetic effect on the postsynaptic GABAA receptor function.
Results: One MAC sevoflurane depressed the spontaneous activity of 21 inspiratory premotor neurons by (mean +/- SD) 32.6 +/- 20.5% (P < 0.001). Overall excitatory drive was depressed 17.9 +/- 19.8% (P < 0.01). Overall GABAAergic inhibition was enhanced by 18.5 +/- 18.2% (P < 0.001), and the postsynaptic GABAA receptor function was increased by 184.4 +/- 121.8% (n = 20; P < 0.001). 相似文献

Results: One minimum alveolar concentration halothane depressed the spontaneous activity of 19 inspiratory premotor neurons by 22.9 +/- 29.1% (mean +/- SD; P < 0.01). Overall excitatory drive was depressed 23.6 +/- 16.9% (P < 0.001). Overall GABAergic inhibition was not changed (+8.7 +/- 27.5%; P = 0.295), but the postsynaptic GABAA receptor function was increased by 110.3 +/- 97.5% (P < 0.001). 相似文献
Methods: Two separate anesthetic studies were performed in two sets of decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated dogs during hypercapnic hyperoxia. The effect of 1 MAC halothane or sevoflurane on extracellularly recorded neuronal activity was measured during localized picoejection of the GABAA receptor agonist muscimol and the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline. Complete blockade of GABAA-mediated inhibition with bicuculline was used to assess the prevailing overall inhibitory input to the neuron. The neuronal response to muscimol was used to estimate the anesthetic effect on postsynaptic GABAA receptor function.
Results: Halothane at 1 MAC depressed the spontaneous activity of 12 expiratory neurons 22.2 +/- 14.8% (mean +/- SD) and overall glutamatergic excitation 14.5 +/- 17.9%. Overall GABA-mediated inhibition was enhanced 14.1 +/- 17.9% and postsynaptic GABAA receptor function 74.2 +/- 69.2%. Sevoflurane at 1 MAC depressed the spontaneous activity of 23 neurons 20.6 +/- 19.3% and overall excitation 10.6 +/- 21.7%. Overall inhibition was enhanced 15.4 +/- 34.0% and postsynaptic GABAA receptor function 65.0 +/- 70.9%. The effects of halothane and sevoflurane were not statistically different. 相似文献
Methods: Studies were performed in decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated dogs during hypercapnic hyperoxia. The effect of 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC; 2.4%) sevoflurane on extracellularly recorded neuronal activity was measured during localized picoejection of the glutamate agonist NMDA and the GABAA receptor blocker bicuculline in a two-part protocol. First, complete blockade of the GABAAergic mechanism by bicuculline allowed differentiation between the effects of sevoflurane on overall GABAAergic inhibition and on overall glutamatergic excitation. In a second step, the neuronal response to exogenous NMDA was used to estimate sevoflurane's effect on postsynaptic glutamatergic neurotransmission.
Results: One minimum alveolar concentration sevoflurane depressed the spontaneous activity of 16 expiratory neurons by 36.7 +/- 22.4% (mean +/- SD). Overall glutamatergic excitation was depressed 19.5 +/- 16.2%, and GABAAergic inhibition was enhanced 18.7 +/- 20.6%. However, the postsynaptic response to exogenous NMDA was not significantly altered. In addition, 1 MAC sevoflurane depressed peak phrenic nerve activity by 61.8 +/- 17.7%. 相似文献
Methods: Two separate studies were performed in decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, mechanically ventilated dogs during hypercapnic hyperoxia. In study 1, the effect of 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) halothane on extracellularly recorded E neuronal activity was studied before and during complete GABAA receptor blockade by localized pressure ejection of bicuculline. Complete blockade of the inhibitory mechanism allowed differentiation between the effects of halothane on overall GABAA-mediated inhibition and on overall NMDA receptor-mediated excitation. In study 2, the effect of 1 MAC halothane on the dose response of neurons to localized picoejection of the glutamate agonist NMDA was used to estimate halothane effect on postsynaptic glutamatergic excitatory neurotransmission.
Results: In study 1, the spontaneous activity of 14 E neurons was depressed 38.6 +/- 20.6% (mean +/- SD) by 1 MAC halothane. Overall excitation was depressed 31.5 +/- 15.5%. The GABAergic inhibition showed a 11.7 +/- 18.3% enhancement during halothane. In study 2, the spontaneous activity of 13 E neurons was again significantly depressed by 1 MAC halothane (27.9 +/- 10.6%), but the postsynaptic response of the neurons to exogenous NMDA was not significantly depressed by halothane (3.3 +/- 38.4%). 相似文献
Methods: Twenty coronary surgery patients were randomly assigned to receive either target-controlled infusion of propofol or inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane. Except for this, anesthetic and surgical management was the same in all patients. A high-fidelity pressure catheter was positioned in the left ventricle and the left atrium. LV response to increased cardiac load, obtained by leg elevation, was assessed before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Effects on contraction were evaluated by analysis of changes in dP/dtmax. Effects on relaxation were assessed by analysis of the load dependence of myocardial relaxation (R = slope of the relation between time constant [tau] of isovolumic relaxation and end-systolic pressure). Postoperative concentrations of cardiac troponin I were followed during 36 h.
Results: Before CPB, leg elevation slightly increased dP/dtmax in the sevoflurane group (5 +/- 3%), whereas it remained unchanged in the propofol group (1 +/- 6%). After CPB, leg elevation resulted in a decrease in dP/dtmax in the propofol group (-5 +/- 4%), whereas the response in the sevoflurane group was comparable to the response before CPB (5 +/- 4%). Load dependence of LV pressure fall (R) was similar in both groups before CPB. After CPB, R was increased in the propofol group but not in the sevoflurane group. Troponin I concentrations were significantly lower in the sevoflurane than in the propofol group. 相似文献
Methods: Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive xenon, isoflurane, sevoflurane, or nitrous oxide (N2O) supplemented with epidural anesthesia. During emergence, the concentration of an anesthetic was decreased in 0.1-minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) decrements from 0.8 MAC or from 70% in the case of N2O, and each new concentration was maintained for 15 min. Every 5 min during each equilibration period, the MLAEP was recorded and the patients were asked to open their eyes and squeeze and release the investigator's hand. This process was repeated until the first response to either of these commands was observed.
Results: Thirteen patients were excluded because of technical reasons. The preanesthetic MLAEP showed a periodic waveform, where the Na-Pa-Nb complex was the most prominent component contributing to the high energy around 29-39 Hz in the power spectrum. Emergence from xenon, isoflurane, and sevoflurane anesthesia produced similar changes in the MLAEP. The spectral power for the frequency 29 Hz or greater was severely suppressed at 0.8 MAC but significantly recovered between the concentration only 0.1 MAC higher that permitting the first response to command and that associated with the first response. In contrast, N2O hardly affected the MLAEPs, even at the concentrations producing unresponsiveness. Two patients did not lose responsiveness even at the highest concentration tested (70%). 相似文献
Methods: A midline laparotomy was performed on 23 domestic pigs, followed by an incision, and subsequent finger fraction across the right medial liver lobe. During hemorrhagic shock, animals were randomly assigned to receive either 0.4 U/kg vasopressin (n = 9), or fluid resuscitation (n = 7), or saline placebo (n = 7), respectively. A continuous infusion of 0.08 U [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 vasopressin in the vasopressin group, or normal saline was subsequently administered in the fluid resuscitation and saline placebo group, respectively. After 30 min of experimental therapy, bleeding was controlled by surgical intervention, and blood transfusion and rapid fluid infusion were subsequently performed.
Results: Maximum mean arterial blood pressure during experimental therapy in the vasopressin-treated animals was significantly higher than in the fluid resuscitation and saline placebo groups (mean +/- SD, 72 +/- 26 vs. 38 +/- 16 vs. 11 +/- 7 mmHg, respectively;P < 0.05). Subsequently, mean arterial blood pressure remained at approximately 40 mmHg in all vasopressin-treated animals, whereas mean arterial blood pressure in all fluid resuscitation and saline placebo pigs was close to aortic hydrostatic pressure (~15 mmHg) within approximately 20 min of experimental therapy initiation. Total blood loss was significantly higher in the fluid resuscitation pigs compared with vasopressin or saline placebo after 10 min of experimental therapy (65 +/- 6 vs. 42 +/- 4 vs. 43 +/- 6 ml/kg, respectively;P < 0.05). Seven of seven fluid resuscitation, and seven of seven saline placebo pigs died within approximately 20 min of experimental therapy, while 8 of 9 vasopressin animals survived more than 7 days (P < 0.05). 相似文献
Methods: Wistar rats underwent 90 min of filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery while either awake (control), or anesthetized with intravenous sodium pentobarbital administered to preserve an active electroencephalogram (15-23 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 *symbol* h sup -1) or a pattern of burst suppression (45-60 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 *symbol* h sup -1; n = 17). During ischemia and for the first 6 h of recirculation, brain temperature was rigorously controlled at 38.0+/-0.2 degree Celsius. Rats were allowed a recovery interval of 7 days after which neurologic function and cerebral infarct volume were assessed. In nonischemic rats undergoing a similar anesthetic protocol, the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose utilization was measured at each anesthetic depth.
Results: Relevant physiologic values were similar between groups. Total infarct volume (mean+/-SD) was smaller in the active electroencephalogram group than in the control group (124+/-68 mm sup 3 versus 163+/-66 mm3; P < 0.05). Increasing the dose of pentobarbital (burst suppression) did not further decrease infarct volume (128+/-54 mm3). Neurologic score and infarct volume were positively correlated (P < 0.001). Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose utilization was reduced by 56% in the burst suppression group versus 43% in the active electroencephalogram pentobarbital group (P < 0.001). 相似文献
Methods: Dogs were randomized to either esmolol or saline infusions administered during CPB (n = 29). Pre-CPB and end-CPB transmyocardial left ventricular biopsies were obtained; plasma catecholamine concentrations, myocardial [beta]AR density, and adenylyl cyclase activity were measured. In addition, left ventricular systolic shortening and postsystolic shortening were determined immediately prior to each biopsy.
Results: While [beta]AR density remained unchanged in each group, isoproterenol-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity decreased 26 +/- 6% in the control group but increased 38 +/- 10% in the esmolol group (pre-CPB to end-CPB, mean +/- SD, P = 0.0001). Left ventricular systolic shortening improved in both groups after release of coronary (LAD) ligature; however, the esmolol group increased to 72 +/- 23% of pre-CPB values compared to 48 +/- 12% for the control group (P = 0.0008). 相似文献
