Key result
Inhaled isoflurane inhibited hypoxia-mediated venoconstriction, increases in sympathetic efferent nerve activity, arterial hypertension, and bradycardia in anesthetized rabbits.
Why the study?
Does inhaled isoflurane alter hypoxia-mediated venoconstriction and circulatory responses in anesthetized rabbits?
Does inhaled isoflurane alter hypoxia-mediated venoconstriction and circulatory responses in anesthetized rabbits?
Inhaled isoflurane impairs the ability to mount cardiovascular compensatory responses to acute hypoxia, including crucial changes in vascular capacitance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May blunt compensatory venoconstriction during hypoxemia; leaves open relevance to human perioperative care.
Stekiel et al. (1995) studied Acute graded hypoxic hypoxia. Inhaled isoflurane vs. Before and after isoflurane administration was evaluated on Changes in the diameter of small mesenteric veins, sympathetic efferent neural activity, heart rate, and arterial blood pressure. Inhaled isoflurane inhibited hypoxia-mediated venoconstriction, increases in sympathetic efferent nerve activity, arterial hypertension, and bradycardia in anesthetized rabbits.
