Halothane-linked O2 consumption drop in dogs may reflect circulatory effects; leaves open direct metabolic actions and clinical translation.
Does increasing halothane concentration reduce oxygen consumption in dogs?
Reductions in oxygen consumption observed with increased halothane concentration in dogs may represent indirect effects mediated by halothane-induced changes in the circulation.
Theye et al. (1967) studied this question.
