Bretylium may provoke ventricular arrhythmias with halothane in this model; leaves open clinical translation and requires human safety data.
Does bretylium induce ventricular arrhythmias in cats anesthetized with halothane?
Bretylium has significant arrhythmogenic potential when administered during halothane anesthesia, likely mediated by endogenous noradrenaline release.
Condouris et al. (1980) studied this question.
