Why the study?
Does the type of anesthesia (chloralose, pentobarbital, or halothane) affect carotid sinus reflex control of arterial hemodynamics in dogs?

Pentobarbital may depress carotid sinus reflexes in canine models; leaves open optimal anesthesia selection for future hemodynamic studies.
Does the type of anesthesia (chloralose, pentobarbital, or halothane) affect carotid sinus reflex control of arterial hemodynamics in dogs?
In a canine model, halothane maintains carotid sinus reflex sensitivity comparable to chloralose, whereas pentobarbital significantly depresses these reflexes.
Cox et al. (1980) studied this question.
